1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Pretty bad. I downloaded the free version to test it. Immediately got an ad for paid. When I declined, ads popped up continuously. It could not identify my plant after 3 tries. Then the scam popped up saying the account is restricted for adult content “click here”. 5 minutes in, I removed this app.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Huh. Pic is taken and nothing happens. No instruction available

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Waste of time. It does not diagnose issues and major spam. Very disappointing that it was recommended as a free app

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   AVOID. Another app promising and not delivering. The plant disease section involves answering a specific set of questions that may or may not apply to your plant issue. This is done is quiz like faction and leads you to a conclusion in write. The most sited issues … under or over watering…. Yeah right. It promises you for free what others provide thru image assessments. Disappointing. Avoid this frustration that will send you looking for answers elsewhere when you don’t trust the info given here.

5. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Not great. Gave me two incorrect answers and 6 “could not find” for one plant. I will look for a better app.

6. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Beware - Plant care data is inaccurate. I’m providing this as direct product feedback, specifically for the engineering and data teams. The app has strong potential: clean UX, broad plant coverage, and an accessible free model. However, the current state of plant-care data is deeply concerning and undermines the entire product. I’ve encountered multiple examples where plant guidance is factually incorrect. One clear example is basil, which was listed as needing watering only twice a month and taking months before harvest. In reality, basil requires frequent watering and can be harvested within weeks. This was not an isolated case—similar inaccuracies appeared across multiple plants. This creates a serious trust issue. Your users rely on this app because they lack domain expertise. When the data is wrong, the app doesn’t just fail—it actively causes harm to the user’s plants. At that point, the product becomes a liability rather than a helper. If AI is being used to generate or augment this data, it must be paired with: • Expert-reviewed source material • Validation pipelines (human or rule-based) • Clear provenance of plant-care recommendations • Guardrails for high-confidence assertions (watering schedules, harvest timelines, toxicity, etc.) Accuracy must be treated as a first-class feature, not a “nice to have.” Until the data is reviewed and validated by domain experts, users cannot safely trust the guidance being provided. I strongly recommend pausing expansion and prioritizing data audit and verification. A smaller set of correct information will always outperform a large set of confidently wrong data.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Delete app.. To complicated. Got the ad free and still had ads.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Signed up for premium and still have no access to find out what my plant needs.. Waste of money

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not.. Hit or Miss. Sometimes it gets the identification right. Identified a cucumber as a pumpkin, and a rhododendron as a strawberry tree! Diagnosis of problems is done via generic pictures and questions, not from photos of the affected plant itself, resulting in bad diagnosis. Use at your own risk. Asking Google gets better results.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Adds and Mistakes.. It’s got adds. I’m tired of adds. I really hoped to get a cure to my mammey plant but it can’t even identify it.

11. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Very disappointed. I did quite a bit of research to find a good app for plant maintenance and some basic id. I knew what most of my plants were, just wanted some verification. I couldn’t believe how many times the app id’ed wrong and the ads are ridiculous, literally half the time I spent on the app was waiting for ads to pass. It looked like it had potential for decent maintenance management, which is why I gave 3 stars not less.

12. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Too many ads. The application may have some conflicting advice. Location of windows according to west, east, north, south would be helpful

13. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Plants. Love this app. Real free

14. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Great app. Easy to navigate, everything is in one place, and its accurate! Ads are kinda annoying though…

15. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    They’re Alive. I love plants but have not had the best luck keeping them alive much less thriving. I’ve either overwatered or underfed them in the past. This takes my guessing out of it and my plants are finally blooming

16. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Wonderful. Plantdora is a seamless and convenient app that lets you properly identify plants, diagnose their health and give recommendations on how best to take care of them. Loving it so far!

17. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    So knowledgeable. So fast to respond to questions’.

18. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    The perfect app. So far, I have not seen a subscription plan with this app. Simple to use, identifies anything that you wanna know about a plant. I’ve dealt with other apps they give you two or three research on plants and then it goes into a subscription plan. This app is awesome no subscription and highly recommend to anyone. I just hope this app stays without a subscription plan, If it stay without a plan it would make it one of the best apps download!

19. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Love it. Awesome

20. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Terrific!. I’m stumped by the one star ratings (with no reviews, seems fishy to me). Especially because after downloading 5 other plant ID apps which claimed to be free but then required a (quote high) monthly or yearly fee to use even the simplest feature (most were free for 3 days, but you have to put your credit card in & they count on you forgetting to cancel) I was so pleased to find that this app is ACTUALLY FREE. Sure, you can pay for the more advanced features if you need those, but the free features are great, especially if you truly just want to identify your plants. Thanks so much to the developers for having integrity & offering this easy to use app. Please don’t judge it by the low rating, this app is great ( :

21. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    Helpful plant app. Helps me take care of my basil and other plants when they have issues.
