Plant Identifier, Care: Planty 4+

There’s a lot to like with Planty

PROS:
1. FREE - and doesn’t bug you to buy premium in order for it to work.
2. Doesn’t try to trick you into a free trial
3. Plant id via camera/photos works better than any of the other plant ID apps I’ve used in the past
4. Superbly designed - the Pet Toxicity banner in the plant’s profile is really helpful
5. Clean UX - (one thing i would modify is that it can be a bit tricky to go “back” once you want to add a plant but don’t necessarily have time to take or upload a photo of the plant. I do wish we could add the plant and either use a default photo of the plant, or skip the photo to initially add it, and then return to it later.)
6. I can see the direction this app is headed and think it has the most potential
7. It’s just dang cheerful

CONS:
1. Sometimes the information about the plant species is incomplete.
2. Occasionally, a plant will have a duplicate in the database with less/different/conflicting information so it can be slightly confusing.
3. Wish there was a way to toggle the information on each plant’s profile for care information. For example, see temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
4. Information - Again, just wish there was more consistency to the info and also some of the plant care information looks like it was limited to a certain number of characters/text. It cuts off midway through and can be frustrating.

LOVE THIS APP!!!!<3

this app is Amazing it gives you notifications when you need to water your plants I'm really bad at remembering when I need to water my plants I've killed so many plants this makes me stop killing plants and it's amazing you can add plants into this little place called your garden and it gives you notification and it tells you more stuff about it it identifies different plants she can go around and you can see this one Clayton and you're like what is that plant and it'll tell you what plant today's it's mostly always right and you can't even name your plants because if you didn't now I like the name my plants and I think they stick to its overall just a great app and I definitely recommend it especially if you're starting to lean plants I am a huge plant mom I love plants and it's amazing

Hi, I’m new to getting into plants, therefore I have no clue what I’m doing. I have been gifted plants at my workplace and home and I have found this app helpful into learning about them and how I can take care of them. The reminders for watering also helps a lot with me being new. I have enjoyed it so far and I hope to get more plants for myself, I will continue to use the app. I also like that you can name your plants. I found that pretty enjoyable.

I would like to have this app be able to use the dark mode though, but that’s a very small thing I’d like to have improvements.
