Not free. Apple claims this is free. It. Is. Not.
- ★★★★★plant identification accuracy
Can’t do anything. I don’t want to pay for a plant app, I can’t even do anything without a membership, I can’t even scan a plant without paying. I AM DEFINITELY DELETE THIS APP!!!!!
- ★★★★★disease diagnosis wrong or inaccessible
Gives no information. The only way to get a diagnosis of your plant is to pay if you don’t pay your just taking pictures of your plants with the solutions to fix plant being blurred out unless you pay this is useless
- ★★★★★subscription trap
incredibly scammy, do not download. the app requires a subscription in order to be used, has different tiers and automatically signs you up for the $9.99 tier which is charged WEEKLY, not monthly. the app advertising itself as free on the app store but ultimately requiring a paid subscription in order to use it rather than just being a paid app upfront is incredibly disingenuous and feels scammy, i used this app once to identify a houseplant and forgot to cancel my free trial afterwards and was charged the full $10 for a “paid” subscription afterwards. reached out to customer service and received no reply. there are much better identification apps on the market that are absolutely free and not misleading.

Wrong diagnosis. It says my dying snake plant is healthy. Can’t unsubscribe.

Try for free but add your cc. Another bs app that misleads consumers
- ★★★★★subscription trap
Not free. The first app that comes up when you search “free” after you download you then have to purchase the app. Fraud.
- ★★★★★subscription trap
Refund!. Got scammed again!! Said it was free and nowe$9.00 a week! My kid got my phone trying to help! No help! Please cancel right away. I pay child support and can’t afford $10.00 a week!! Please cancel!!
- ★★★★★plant identification accuracy
What?!. This does not identify my plants correctly. And they want how much for this app?!? Yikes. Bummer.

Instant charge for a year!. Before I knew it I was signed up for a year! Weirdly enough, it didn't ask me for a payment card, just signed me up instantly for the $24.99 plan. I checked on my subscriptions page and it shows an end date of April 28, 2027 indicating I paid for a year. I previously signed up for this app paying $4.99 for a year a couple weeks ago so I wouldn't need another subscription. Now I'm not sure that is valid. Just been scammed out of $30 prob.

DO NOT USE! WILL ROB YOU. I signed up for a free trial and was charged $65 for an entire year subscription after 12 hours. And the app did not identify one single plant I tried to photo grab. They will not refund my money or answer my about cancelling my membership. SCAM.
- ★★★★★subscription trap
Rip Off. I tried this and the app itself is fine. The free trail, which was canceled before the end, still incurred a charge. I despise shady business dealings!
- ★★★★★subscription trap
DO NOT DOWNLOAD. I canceled my free subscription before the 1 week trail because i didn’t really use the app and they charged me I seen this app is doing it to others as well.
- ★★★★★subscription trap
Lie. You say free and it cost
- ★★★★★subscription trap
Canceling the subscription. Just try to cancel your subscription. They don’t make it easy at all
- ★★★★★overall value for beginners
Liars. I paid $59.99 last year for a lifetime membership but this year they want me to pay again They responded by saying it was my fault. I misunderstood the definition of lifetime so I give this app a zero rating and will never download it ever again.
- ★★★★★plant identification accuracy
Awful. This app is awful. Maybe 3% of the time it can actually identify a plant/flower. Its routine care is the definition of cookie cutter. Don’t waste your money.
- ★★★★★plant identification accuracy
Lousy spp. No matter what way taking picture would no accept
- ★★★★★plant identification accuracy
Doesn’t work. I took photos of five different plants. This app could not identify any of them. My other plant identification apps nailed each one. Save your money.
- ★★★★★subscription trap
I cancelled my subscription but was charged anyway... I wanted to get the lifetime subscription but it wasn’t available in the options, so I cancelled the trial so I could select lifetime from the start page. The trial expired and even though I canceled the subscription I was charged the $9.99 weekly subscription but I can’t I’d the app. So now I just want my money back..
- ★★★★★subscription trap
Plants. It’s not free !!!!!!!
- ★★★★★subscription trap
Not worth it.. This is incredibly expensive. Also, although I did take photos at night under a head lamp, the app got both plant IDs wrong. I’d expect more from Apple.
- ★★★★★subscription trap
Beware of free trial. I cancelled this free trial well before the trial period ended. I was still charged weekly renewal after trial ended and Apple is siding with developer. Be careful if wanting to try this app.
- ★★★★★subscription trap
Sneaky. Never signed up and charged repeatedly
- ★★★★★subscription trap
Scam, it costs $10 a WEEK. Unbelievable but true. If you sign up for this app, you’ll be charged $9.99 EVERY WEEK
- ★★★★★plant identification accuracy
not helpful. could not identify a single plant
- ★★★★★subscription trap
Frustrating. Won’t Open app without subscription. Trial subscription does not say how long before charging $9.99 per week
- ★★★★★subscription trap
Scam operation. This app is a scam. I signed up for the free trial, I cancelled the subscription one day after starting (through the website as instructed) and was charged a weekly fee. On top of that, I was automatically placed on auto pay without my knowledge or authorization. I only discovered this after opening a case with PayPal. When I contacted the App Store for help, all I was told was that the charge is “nonrefundable “that makes it feel like the App Store is enabling this deceptive practice. Be very cautious with this app the so called “free trial “ is misleading and the billing practices are unfair.

Not free. What a way to start a relationship. With a lie.
- ★★★★★subscription trap
Plant identifier. The app says it’s free. Then once downloaded it says it requires a fee to use after 3 days. Very deceptive advertising
