I used to really love this app, but I’m finding increasingly that it’s very inaccurate and very inconsistent especially with younger plants. I’ll use picture this to try to identify a young plant to determine whether or not I want to pull it, and then months later I’ll check it again and it tells me […]

The free trial can’t be accessed without entering card info (as usual, not a problem). Google will identify anything for free, but won’t organize, explain, warn, etc. like this app is supposed to. Sounds really cool, but my frugal nature won’t let me pay for something that is probably offered for free somewhere. TLDR: great […]

I spent an hour, and more, reading the reviews to decide whether to download the app. Your responses to reviews clearly indicate that I can choose between the limited usage free version, or do the 7-Day free trial which apparently charges you for a year, if the reviews are accurate. That’s a red flag to […]

App seems to be good. But too many prompts to get me to sign up for the trials. The trial terms are tricky… if you accidentally forget to cancel in the 7 days, they will charge you the annual fee. it was fair if they took a months fee but they will hold on to […]

I signed up for the free version 7 days ago. Used it once — for an unsuccessful identification — and tried to cancel today. But the charge had already gone through through on the credit card. Shame on me for engaging at all with this duplicitous sales approach. Whether it’s a great app or not […]

the app works great. I would have given it 5 stars if they hadn’t charged my debit card after I had already canceled my free subscription. if you want the app, just purchase it outright. don’t do the free subscription because they will charge you anyway after you cancel the free subscription. waiting for refund. […]

I’ve only used this app a little bit so far, but I have to say that it is very easy to use and has helped me out tremendously with my indoor plants (section for my garden). Awesome reminders as to when and how much to feed and water them to their highest potential. Let’s you […]

I downloaded and uninstalled the app due to it being unreliable and giving incorrect information/diagnosis. Then I was charged a yearly subscription even after canceling the subscription. Dealing with customer service attempting to get my money back. Very shady business tactics it seems. unfortunately, the app simply didn’t work as described for our needs.

Impressive accuracy at identifying plants. But for my purposes, way too many features. The company did not respond to my request for information, which is not good. I can’t begin to justify a $40 annual subscription for it, sadly. I’d be hard pressed to pay a one time fee of $40, although I’d probably do […]

When I downloaded I was given the option of a free 7-day trial with two choices of $39.99 yearly or $7.99 monthly. I chose monthly. I did not receive the reminder offered and I was charged $39.99 the day before the trial ended and canceled on the last day. I only used the app. twice, […]

I am a disappointed customer of another paid plant app. A lot of bugs, crashes and db is not updating. Also recognition of plants is slow and not always correct. I tried in the past pictureThis and i wasn’t amused. Today i gave it another try. I am amused how accurate and fast is picture […]

I’m being charged for a subscription, and unfortunately the subscription is NOT appearing under Subscriptions in Google Play Store, so I cannot cancel it.I don’t even truly recall signing up for a trial. How can this be cancelled so I don’t get charged again next month? $43.00 per month is awful much…. Otherwise, I appreciate […]

BIG SCAM! takes your money without warnings. After the 7 day trial period they should ask you if you want to continue- they don’t, they just charge your credit card. I immediately went and cancelled. The money was refunded but then I was charged AGAIN! the app is showing I do not have the premium […]

The app didn’t perform as advertised, and I was not able to cancel my 7 day free trial in the app. I ended up being charged for a full years subscription because I couldn’t get it canceled in time. They won’t respond to my messages about this issue either. I have asked for a refund. […]

Just signed up for the free 7 days to try out the app, immediately wasn’t impressed and want to cancel the subscription so I don’t get charged in 7 days, but there is no way to cancel. Google play doesn’t show thw subscription, and in the app under settings, it simply says that I have […]

how could you double the price of annual subscription? from $20 to $40? that really is too much. 100% increase. subscription apps bother me to begin with… I want to be able to outright buy something. or at least after so many months of using it be able to own it and use it whenever. […]

This app helped my plants thrive until it deleted them all and now I don’t know when they were last cared for. i had to add them all back to my library. I hope this hiccup that IT was unable to help with doesn’t kill my plants. I also had to resubscribe, despite paying $20 […]

I absolutely adore this app! it’s so easy to use, it’s amazingly cheap for the premium version (like, shockingly so), and it keeps track of what’s in your garden, how to care for it, and even how to pronounce the Latin names! I use it constantly: when I’m in someone else’s yard, on hikes, in […]

Requires a credit card for a “free trial”. the only reason I didn’t give 1 star is because the app does seem to work. If they fix the free trial to actually be free I will adjust the rating. Remember, it isn’t free if you need a credit card even if they don’t charge. Edit […]

So, what is the point of using the word “free” if a customer has to submit a credit card just to open the app?! I need to know “what I’m buying before I buy”. I’ve already deleted several other plant app that had too many program errors that negated the possibility of a subscription. If […]
