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 it's a completely different plan. It's truly all over the place, and as a result I'm trusting it less and less over time. It's good for mature plants.
Reviews for PictureThis – Plant Identifier
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 app, but I'm too cheap to pay for it.
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 me so I proceeded cautiously. After installing the app, there is no visible choice for only the free version. Do you even look at your own welcome screen? If this information had been available..
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 the entire years fee. The only chance to get back the remaining amount is to go to small claims court.
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 is irrelevant -- it's definitely unfriendly to consumers and an underhanded business practice.
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. normally I would not request a refund. but I won't tolerate that kind of business
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 know amazing facts about your plants and trees. Never would have known any of my plants were toxic to certain things like your pets or even your food. Easy to take the pictures, as it's not so sensitive to exact angles. thx!
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 it, because the quality is very good. I guess they need a "lite" version. My only requirement is the plant database and the ability to search from a photo.
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, testing the application and showing/referring a friend the app. I do NOT currently have a need for this. Requested a refund through playstore and was given dev email and I still have no response in this matter.
