An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Mistook a birkin philodendron for a calla lily, could not find a money tree, and told a user with yellow, pest-ridden leaves that their plant was healthy. The 7,000-plant database claim sounds good, but accuracy is at chance level.

What reviews complain about

Disease diagnosis does not work and returns healthy regardless of the plant's actual state.

What users experience

3 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

This app you have to pay nearly $50 a month to use the diagnose feature by taking a picture. Half the time it says the plant is healthy even when the leaves are yellow and half missing from being eaten by pests.

I wish the app would tell me specifically who the plant is toxic to. Is it people, cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrits, hedgehogs, bearded dragons, sugar gliders, etc. This would greatly help pet parents make good plant choices. I would purchase the app for that because I love plants, but also have pets.

As a person that owns over 50 house plants, I wanted something that could keep the inventory easily for me. The bank of plants needs some updating to include the different variations of certain plants, not just the general type.
