1. 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!

2. 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.

3. 1/5Bad plant ID, scheduling, worse customer support

   After 3 months of daily use, I’ve deleted this. My experience has not been positive *at all*, much as I wanted to like the app. My collection of plants is about 65ish (and growing!). I’m a moderately experienced plant parent, and was using the app to organize, keep track of care (misting, feeding, etc), and I liked the idea of features like the light meter (overly complicated, download one of the free apps), identifying problem areas (same comment), creating a schedule for daily care. Major problem I first encountered was the app couldn’t correctly identify 95% of the plants in my collection (google is much more accurate than PlantIn!). Customer support asked if I knew the names of the plants (of course I do), and advised me to override their system and input things manually (not a good answer, and a verrry time consuming task). Doing it that way meant that I had to input watering, misting, feeding etc manually, too. And no matter how many times I tried to time watering and feeding together, feeding popped up on a random day. By the way, I submitted a query to customer service and 5 weeks later (after a few automated emails from PlantIn thanking me for my patience) they’ll get a response to me soon. After reading several reviews I made the mistake of spending $50 on the premium membership. I hope others read this review first and try the app for awhile first!

4. 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.

5. 1/5Really Difficult to Cancel Subscription

   I am not one to typically leave reviews, but this has been especially challenging for me and I hope that the company can read this and make some changes or someone else who is passionate about plants and wanting to learn more can proceed with caution. I really support the idea of the app, and think that with some changes to the payment system it could be a helpful idea,However, I have been trying to cancel my subscription for many months and the app would continue to charge me weekly even when under the settings of the app it says I am not subscribed. So, that means there were many months that I was paying for the app and not able to use it. As a student who budgets my time energy and finances extremely meticulously, this was infuriating at times. It felt violating and really shady. I ended up needing to contact Apple to be sure that my subscription was removed. This was gas money, food money, and how I was supposed to meet my basic needs. I do not have nine dollars for times a month to spare for a "donation" I did not sign up for. Very disappointed in this - maybe The company could issue me a refund as I was not able to use the app during the time that I was paying for it. if that happens, I would be happy to make an addendum to this review. Otherwise, I recommend highly against purchasing this app.
