G. Some stuff will make you plants turn bad
- ★★★★★saving, exporting or sharing the result fails
Not worth downloading. Cannot identify even native plants. Cannot distinguish between plant parts.
- ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
New format not working. New format not working for me and my plants.
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Not worth the free trial. Can not identify my plants at all
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Terrible, unhelpful. This asked about 5 questions to diagnose my plant, and it felt like the only possible diagnoses were overwatering, underwatering, too much sun, not enough sun, or too much nutrients (if you fertilize every 2 weeks like miracle grow suggests. So dumb.

Citronella. Not even the correct plant
- ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Doesn’t actually diagnose. After spending $50, now I’m expected to spend another 30 just to get the information I thought I was paying for.

Plants. Not pay monthly.… should be free I'm not Interesting to Pay.😔
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
This app sucks. Very rarely doesn’t even identify a plant correctly. Much less what’s wrong with it.

Review Gardner.. To confusing. Don’t like want to cancel
- ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
False advertising cost money. Is a subscription based app to do anything usefully must pay money
- ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
At Your Own Risk. Good luck canceling your subscription. It’s been 4 years since I downloaded this app and 3 years since I’ve used it. It’s been a nightmare to stop the reoccurring subscription. No refunds. If I could rate zero stars, I would.
- ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Can't do anything unless you have a subscription. This app isn't worth it . You can't do anything besides identify a plant if you don't have a subscription . How disappointing
- ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Couldn’t cancel like they said I could. I never intended getting other than basic Plantin like a friend used. Instead $7 weekly when 19.50 for a year subscription?? Cannot figure how to bow out. It literally wants to be my best friend . Definitely not what i thought i was sampling

Untrustworthy. I took a picture of my very healthy petunias, I just didn't know I had to deadhead them and that it's natural for their flowers to die. It said "Your plant has a DISEASE❗️Pay now to see what it is." Just seems disingenuous.

The only way. I am so sorry
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
My plant died. I watering my plant as usual I found something was wrong with it when I was going on water the next day and then I use this app. It recommended me some advice and I did it. It died anyway. What a great when my plant dies.

Scam. Does not work as advertised. Most plants are not recognized.
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
It doesn’t work like it shows in the commercials.. This app absolutely sucks. I just want to take a photo of the plant like in the commercial and for it to tell me the problem, not answer a bunch of questions about how often it gets watered etc. what a complete scam.
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Never got the care right. I wish I would love it, but I don’t know if I am doing something wrong or what. It rarely gets the right plant id, always says everything is good, even to a tree that is most likely dead. I dont get it.
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Useless application. The application fails to identify most planets correctly, and it doesn’t provide any useful tips, information, or treatment plans. Simply, it is useless.
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Doesn’t identify basic plants. Do not waste your time or money on this app
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Mistake downloading this. It sucks, I did the lifetime account. And I can’t identify the problems with my lawn, it is stuck on plants
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Not helpful for lawn. It never gave me a diagnosis for my lawn. Have to identify a the type of grass it - it’s diseased. And then, critiqued the photo on the app. A large waste of money!
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Do not like this program. Please remove this it gives same results for every planet Even if it’s healthy
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Grass. My grass is yellow no mater how much I water it and this says treatment is to water it 🫤
- ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow
This app is awful. Since the update, the pop up freezes and will not clear so you can see your plants. Terrible.
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Latest Update is NON FUNCTIONAL 5/16/26. When you open the app and it says go to my Plants with a full screen overlay none of the functions clear the screen not go to my Plants not Cancel not the X in the top right hand corner. It FREEZES the app. THE APP IS NOW NON-FUNCTIONAL. WITH THE OVERLAY THAT POPS UP AT THE BEGINNING THAT SAYS GO TO MY PLANTS.
- ★★★★★trial charges and refunds
refuse to refund my accidental purchase. broke my heart!! was so excited to try the free trial to help my plants. i was exploring the app and before i knew it i had unknowingly clicked agree to paying $30 to ask ONE question - i immediately contacted support and explained how i had unintentionally purchased something before understanding the app feature! made this mistake literally within 10 minutes of downloading the app and was sure they would understand/ help, but they were unfortunately of no service. i have now spent $30 on literally i don’t know what - the feature i tried out didn’t even work. its crazy thats more than i spent on the actual plant i was trying to save
