Plant App: Plant Identifier 4+

Best of the Best

I really like this app. I have many plants in my home. We just moved across country and some of my plants were not doing very well. I down loaded this app and 2 months later ALL my plants are back to their full color and looking great again. I think I would have lost a lot of them if I wouldn’t have found this app!
I will keep this app and share it with all my family and friends…

Honestly 2/10 bare bones app

At most this app is extremely bare bones even with it’s subscription model.

Pros:

It does offer a “lifetime” (one time payment) membership as well as a monthly, water calculator, and reminders for watering/misting/fertilizing/rotating.

Cons:

Most features are locked behind a paywall including diagnosis/light meter/plant ID/toxicity info and more, while some aspects are advertised as “free” within the app they actually aren’t and clicking them brings you to the subscription screen where you are offered a “free trail” however no where outside of this screen does it say “Try for free” or “free trial”, It does not offer site locations, all temperature calculations are only available in celsius (this wouldn’t be a big deal if you could switch to fahrenheit, however there is nowhere in the app to switch), there is no location tracking so no truly accurate temperature estimations, aside from creating a name for a plant you can not add your own photo (so no personalized plant profiles), and there is no ability to create your own personalized profile.

All in all, while it’s a great idea in theory and one of the few plant apps which offers a one-time payment, compared to others in the same field it’s honestly barebones and locks most features that would make it even at minimum worth keeping behind a paywall.

The free trial is a scam

This app doesn’t even deserve a single star, and I’d give it a negative 5 if I could.

I tried this app for a couple of days then tried to cancel it, but there was literally no option for that! Followed the link for “cancel at anytime” and it only allows you to renew. It says you can’t cancel a current subscription, but then says you have to cancel more than 24hrs before renewal to stop it renewing - in other words - you need to cancel future subscriptions during the time of your current subscription…which it says you can’t do. Yes, it’s as much of a runaround as it sounds. I got a refund and cancellation through iTunes, but as a warning to anyone else who thinks of trying this app: DON’T do the free trial.

It’s also terrible at identifying plants, misidentified numerous times, and once said a clearly focused macro shot of a flower, “didn’t contain a flower.”
