Planto: Plant Identifier
gamed ratingThe app quickly identifies a plant from a photo and can reassure you it is not a weed, which people praise. But disease diagnosis simply will not start for most, no matter how you change the angle, and the feature is capped at a couple of scans a day until you pay. The main trouble is billing: charged every week above what was promised and twice a month, with in-app cancellation blocked by a promise that a team member will reach out within 24 hours, trapping people in endless charges.
Store 4.7 with text 2.03 and only 20 percent five-stars among texted reviews. The five-stars are short and generic (must have, Quick identification Fun), while the long reviews are detailed stories of weekly and double charges and blocked cancellation. That contrast points to padding.
