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

   False ad. Advertising this app as FREE TO USE… that’s false!

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

   Won’t go past the leaf icon. I’ve tried deleting and downloading again. It just keeps shutting down

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

   This App. It did nothing that it said… it did not diagnose any of my plants or give me a remedy it only said it was sick. What a waste of time and space on my phone

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

   Waste of Money. This app doesn’t always correctly identify plants, about 30% of the time. I find the diagnoses are always the same (even on perfectly healthy plants) and specific remedies are not provided.

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Help. I have paid thru Dec. but am not able to use my camera in the app. As a result I am not able to use any of the ID or Diagnostic features.

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

   Not free. Advertised as free but you can’t even try it without signing up and providing a credit card. Then you get 3 days “free” and it’s $50 after that.

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

   Totally DISSAPOINTED. Totally disappointed in the app all together. They holler it's free, it's free, but when you download the app it's a free trial, and x-amount of moneyto pay hhmonthly or yearly. I'm tired of being misled. I could have you this app, but I don't have it to spend on app.

8. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Pop up ads. The pop up ads are very frequent and very annoying.

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

   Plant & prob identification. Had to look up 2 dif plants at 2 dif times. Each was identified differently with dif issues & suggested treatment plans !?!?! NOT GOOD. And I’m NOT HAPPY.

    "Spot-On Plant ID & Expert Care Tips - A Must-Have for Plant Lovers!" 🌿✨. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Absolutely blown away by this plant identification app! The accuracy is spot-on - it correctly identified even my rarest succulents and tricky-looking herbs within seconds. But what truly sets it apart are the incredibly helpful plant care guides! I've become a better plant parent thanks to their practical tips on watering schedules, sunlight needs, and seasonal care. The daily plant insights and troubleshooting advice for common issues (like yellowing leaves or pests) have been lifesavers for my indoor jungle. Love how the interface makes plant care feel accessible for both beginners and experienced gardeners. If you want an app that grows with your plants (literally!), this is your green-thumb companion! 🌿📱

    It's worth downloading. I've been using the free version of this app and overall, I'd highly recommend it for plant identification and care reminders. I like to try an app for a while before writing a review. There are no annoying ads, though it does prompt you to purchase the full version each time you open it. I simply click "cancel" and continue using it. I frequently use it to take pictures of plants and identify the species. With the free version, you can also take pictures of your own plants and add them to "my garden." You can add pictures over time and see a timeline of your plants' growth, which is really cool. It suggests appropriate watering and fertilization schedules, and you can set reminders/notifications for watering or fertilizing each plant. On iPhone, you can also add a care reminder widget to your home screen, which is more convenient than just the app icon. The paid version unlocks more information about identified plants and allows you to use a feature called 360-degree identification, which is supposed to be more accurate. I've used the bird identification feature before, which used to be part of the free version, and it was accurate. I hope this review helps someone else decide whether or not to try this app! It's worth downloading to compare it to other apps you're considering.
