"Spot-On Plant ID & Expert Care Tips - A Must-Have for Plant Lovers!" 🌿✨
Tom9914
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 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! 🌿📱

Pop up ads
Kay and Jim
The pop up ads are very frequent and very annoying.
Developer Response
Hi Kay and Jim, thanks so much for letting us know.Sorry the pop-up prompts felt too much — that’s definitely not the experience we want you to have.Just to clarify, we do have a few upgrade prompts to help support the free ID feature. Still, we hear you — we’re already working on making them appear less often and at better times. If you have ideas or want to share more about what bothered you, I’d really love to hear from you: forwardhorizontech@icloud.com.Thanks again for helping us make PlantJoy better. Best/Victoria, PlantJoy

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.

Please help us by navigating to your "Garden" page, tapping "Settings" (top-right corner), and sending a report via the "Feedback" option.

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.
Developer Response
We apologize for the confusion. The free version (no credit card needed) offers core features (plant ID) permanently. The trial is for premium additions only. Please contact forwardhorizontech@icloud.com – we’ll help clarify.
