1. 5/5Super cool & intuitive app

   I have a bunch of plants and love creating succulent gardens from clippings and reviving dried up/ half dead plants from the side of the road or a friend who can’t handle the care of them. I’ve been able to take pretty good care of most and have a lovely garden of likely 40+ potted plants… Sometimes my adoptees have issues tho- recently had an aphid or spider mite problem, that started spreading to my other plants! I decided to finally give this app a try to see what the problem may be with a couple as well regarding their watering needs. Now I realize each plant is different in its care and I’m having fun learning what they need so I can make sure to water and feed appropriately. The weekly charge is super high at $7 so $28 per month is more than I spend on my pots, fertilizer and tools! It kinda makes the lifetime option the only one that makes sense. Idk, hopefully as time goes on they will make a longer trial period or a cheaper monthly subscription option. But either way, the app is easy/fun to use and super informative! You can essentially create a whole catalog of your plants and where they are located and get reminded about what they need. It’s pretty brilliant.

2. 4/5Expensive for what it is.

   So basically doing a search on Google you’ll find all the info found in this app. You can even find actual farmers ,horticulturalist and Botanist willing to offer advice for FREE. Right off the bat first the I found wrong with the app was the very reason I got the app. It had a feature to identify needed care. So I used this feature and it gave me conflicting advice that was wrong in both cases. 1st it said I over watered, I had not watered in 5 days. Next it said it didn’t get enough sun light. The only way for it to get more sunlight is if the days themselves where longer. I’m saying it gets direct sunlight from sun up to sun down. With that said I can’t honestly say the main feature is worth posting for. Unless your goal is to track statistics on your phone. But you can keep stats if your different plants as well as pictures on note pad. I’m not really sure who this app is for. It really just seems like a big money grab. Update: The Developer emailed me and was most respectful and professional in addressing my issues. While my personal review won’t change.. I will add that while it didn’t meet my expectations ( only due to the steep price) You may not experience the same problems and the support team is quite ready and willing to address issues and is consistently updating the app. Enjoy.

3. 1/5Misleading ads - nothing like it portrays

   The ad shows you take a picture of your plant then it instantly says what the exact problem is and what to do. Reality is, you take picture and it recommends all the possible potential issues and what you can do for all of them. It gives no specific guidance, so you might as well just look up online. I took pictures of a healthy plant and a sick plant, it gave the exact same recommendations. Basically, what it said for both was, it could be under watered, it could be over watered, it could have soil deficiency (lists out 8 different types of potential deficiencies), it could need different potting, it never says what it actually is. This is nothing like the ad that shows exactly what to do. On top of all that, to actually get a real answer it wants to connect you to a botanist for an absurd fee that they try and rationalize(price anchor) with an even more ludicrous fee. My local nurseries and plant shops answer all of that for free. If they made it a nominal fee, that's one thing, I might pay for convenience, reality is, I bought the app because I thought that's what it did, avoid the need to talk to a botanist, it is your digital expert, but no, all they do is try and upcharge you. Want to change the color of your app? Watch out, that's more money. Want an actual direct piece of guidance, watch out, that's more money. Complete hack. I had such high hopes for this. I should have read the reviews as now i see this is a super common experience others are having.

4. 5/5Great Plant assistant.

   I’m fairly new to plants, and the intricacies of owning caring and growing them. In my plant journey, I have adapted the theory of use all tools necessary to grow your skill or hobby. In this process, I have tried multiple, I would go as far as saying, countless apps, to aid me in becoming a better plan parent. after trying multiple premium apps I can confidently say this one is the best. Upon opening the app the aesthetics are very attractive, upon opening the app for the first time I was very pleased at how easy it is to use. One of my plan babies. I’ve had a difficult time keeping alive, not knowing if it’s being properly watered, getting enough sunlight, or near and in air-conditioning. This app help me immediately identify that my current watering schedule, for my Monstera was not conducive to keeping it healthy, while also informing me of common diseases that affect this particular. The light meter, which was the focal point of me download this app has been a plant saver. I believe this app has already helped me save several plans and will continue to help me be a great plant father. I recommend this app to the Novice and expert plant grower alike, look no further download this app.

5. 2/5Good for just staring off

   Now don’t hate on me yet for the poor review, I have high expectations for this app to become more advanced and accurate with the technological aid of these days, it’s highly helpful however, it can be wrong, and throw up many variations of options when scanning the same plant and that can be discouraging, but also as cameras advance in clarity of image and depth resolution and the algorithm can read more data, this app will definitely be a must for any flora enthusiast from first time green thumbs, to even helping and aiding with the most knowledgeable and skilled growers who really put the science into all the plants they cultivate. And I’m just gonna let you know now, I’m canceling my free trial, for the time being, because from my experiences with this app, I was trying to identify the type of trees the previous owners of this property had mass planted, and trying to find the purpose to them, I had it range from an almond tree to several different kinds of willow, but none of the pictures seemed to line up with the tree the several different times we tried to identify it, so I don’t find the app worth my money at the time if it is continually wrong. Please do keep in mind, I have high expectations from you guys, you’re going to achieve a lot, so don’t give up, I have faith!
