5/5Best Tool for Plant ID in Virginia
I studying plant biology in college at the moment and this app has been essential for my work and research in Virginia over the last year since I was first introduced to it. It contains an insane amount of information and is easy enough for beginners to navigate, but specific enough for expert use with the dichotomous key. The new update that added links for definitions of botanical terms is one of the best features so far in the app. It was my only complaint before this, so I’m very happy that you all added that feature. I cannot recommend this app enough for anyone studying plant biology or interested in identifying Virginia plants!!

4/5Absolutely wonderful with one important suggestion
As someone who has only been getting into native plants in the last few years, I find this reference at my fingertips an amazing resource. It is well worth the money! As someone who is not formally trained in botany but wants to learn as much as I can, having a glossary button from individual species pages (like there is a ruler button on the side) would be amazingly helpful. Right now it’s a pain to remember the word I don’t know, back all the way out to the main menu, navigate to the glossary and look up the definition, and then search for the plant all over again. Some pages I may need to look up 10 words in the glossary so imagine how easy it would be to only hit the glossary button once and then close it and still be on the species page.

5/5Top-notch
I am a university professor of botany and plant taxonomist and rely on the Flora of Virginia for my work as a researcher and educator. This app contains all of the data of the printed flora, plus a user-friendly graphic key, excellent color photos, an intuitive search indexing system and - my favorite - state-of-the-art county-level distributions maps imported from the Atlas of the Virginia Flora group. I use this app nearly daily and can get my students quickly “up and running” on id using this tool. Highly recommend!

5/5A Must Have App
I am an environmental consultant and a professional wetland scientist. I own the hard copy of the Flora of Virginia (which is also amazing) but the App takes the information to the next level! The same great info, but with pictures, maps, and graphic keys and new updates! It all works offline too which is great when working in remote areas and much lighter than the 5 lbs book. If you are an outdoor professional this is a must have app!

5/5Completely worth the money
I’ve been working in horticulture and exploring natural areas for 5 years now and I have found this app incredibly useful. And in my spare time, the reading available is so interesting. Only wish I have is that more pictures could be uploaded for each species.
