Plantion - Plant Identifier
doubtful ratingThe app is meant to name a plant and find its diseases and pests, and it sometimes helps experienced gardeners. But the main feature is broken: for photos of sick leaves and even a dead plant it stubbornly answers healthy, and problem advice boils down to a generic either overwatering or underwatering. ID also drifts, the same plant is named differently under different light, and it gets confused with vegetables.
Store 4.3 with text 2.11 and only 21 percent five-stars among texted reviews. There is genuine love with detail (I walk around and shoot everything), but it is outweighed by a systematic specific complaint that diagnosis answers healthy for any photo, even a dead plant, which does not look organic.
