An editorial reading of the saved reviews
People love Seek by iNaturalist for the gamification: it feels like real-life Pokemon, you collect finds and read solid species facts backed by National Geographic. One pain repeats across many reviews: after an update roughly in the past year accuracy dropped sharply, the camera now blurs at close range, and plants often get identified only down to dicots. Being free with no ads keeps loyalty high.

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
No matter what plant I take a picture of 95% of the time it labels it as dicots. Do not recommend this app
