PlantAI: Identifier & Diagnose
doubtful ratingWith a pleasant design and an AI chat for quick questions, the app helps beginners and older gardeners get to grips with plants and keep a log of their plot. But it identifies wrong more than half the time, especially wildflowers, and the promised disease diagnosis gives no more than a free Google or Siri search. Billing gets in the way too: charged on the day of trial cancellation, and after cancelling the yearly plan access is cut for months already paid.
Store 4.5 against text 2.57, but both sides of the reviews are specific: real stories of gardens from people in their 90s versus detailed criticism of accuracy and billing. The rating gap exists, but there is more organic content than in its peers, so it is questionable rather than padded.
