Ratings and Reviews
Trained help
I echo the reviews of others that like the fact that trained botanists will review the photos submitted to give more definite answers than what simple picture comparisons may provide. I was quite happy with my answer provided, however it does cost $2 to receive such an answer.
I was able to identify other plants rather easily by comparing pictures submitted of known plants to mine. There was one though I needed expert help with and the answer was prompt as promised. I think it's worth the occasional $2 for such help. The only disappointing aspect of such help was that the specific species could not be identified given the variations endemic to my region. The answer provided was still much more than I could have done on my own however. They were able to identify the genus which was more than I was able to do.
4 stars out of 5 for the prompt reply from the expert at a reasonable price but not 5 since the species could not be identified.
Botanist HELP - YAY!
This app on its own was not able to help me identify a very fragrant shrub from my front yard. What it DID do for me, however, was put me in touch with a knowledgeable individual whom I was told in advance was a Botanist, who very promptly responded (on a SUNDAY) to my submitted photos (I sent five - one of entire plant, a closer shot of a 1 foot section, and three close ups of leaf, blossoms and blossoms and leaves together) via email with my answer. They nailed it. (Pittosporum Tobira - Mock Orange!) In addition to the identification came practical information regarding the origin/care/watering/sun/pruning/pests of my plant. The app is free. The answers? $1.99 USD, which, for the prompt, accurate information plus the bonus info included was not unreasonable, I feel. If you are seriously seeking an answer to your gardening puzzle, this app may just be your best friend because if you're diligent you will get your answer. If you can't locate it on your own within the app you still have recourse to get your answer via a trained professional. VERY pleased, indeed.
Latest iOS update causes the app to freeze.
I updated my phone in May 2021, and the app no longer works. You can take a photo but you cannot enlarge the image to fit into the area needed for identification. Very very disappointed this needs to be fixed because I love this app. Update June 2022. The app will no longer recognize or upload a photo that you take with the app. It will only behave normally if you take a picture of the plant with your camera first and then upload the photo. Otherwise nothing happens. It’s a little bit worse than my last review unfortunately, but once I get an answer it is nearly 100% correct update, January 2 023I am still having the same problem so I take a photo of the plant first and then add it to my library and use that photo. It does not seem to want to take Live Photos, I don’t mean live photo in the Apple sense, but in the app sense
