I realize this is still in testing, but I can’t do one thing with it. Is it not compatible with Android devices? I get an opening screen and that is all. Nothing clickable or swipe-able. And now to top it off, I get 4-5 reminders a day to complete my information from an app that […]

It’s pretty decent, watering reminder is saving me. Plant I.D. can be very off. Needs ability to snap a photo, name the plant cuz I know what it is & at minimum be able to schedule watering n other stuff. A notes section so you can look up your own necessary info and type it […]

The plant ID doesn’t work the best, it struggled with 2 plants of mine, but those have multiple varieties that look similar so I get the confusion to an extent. This app does other things well however, you can add plants, give them nicknames, update pictures. There’s several schedule options so that you can set […]

I love the app, I hate that my data keeps getting erased. I pay for the premium account, I absolutely loved it for the first year. Now my plants have been erased twice. With over 62 plants in my house it becomes exhausting having to re setup the app. I’ve emailed NatureID the pervious time […]

The app is very inaccurate. Couldn’t recognize my plants, and the few times it did get the plant right, it was very vague. Example: I have 4 different types of squash and although it identified it as a species it did not name there specific type. Also, when attempting to identify problems it gave a […]

All the want is money. Everything seems to be extra, I didn’t get to far beyond downloading then try for help with a plant. I am not a florist. I would only need help for a few plants. But to spend additional money everytime as well as a yearly fee, is not for me. If […]

Seems like a good app…was reasonably correct, but I couldn’t get past the trial. I had it installed maybe 10 minutes. I took just a few pictures and got a popup to leave a review two times during that period and a popup to buy it two times during that period. Then it stopped working. […]

Update: I did receive a quick full refund, since it was less than 48hrs since I subscribed. I was so excited with the presentation of the app, that I skipped the free trial and purchased it at the yearly price of 19.99, which was a reasonable price compared to most apps, and now I see […]

Very disappointed in this app. I pd the annual subscription bec the only other option was a short trial then 4.99 a month. After paying the fee I used it to identify know plants just to see what it would tell. 2 out of 3 were wrong. Then I check anther plant and it tells […]

Pretty ticked that there’s nothing in the description to say that this is a trial only (you can take only 4 pictures!). Not surprised that there’s a subscription, but figured it would be for premium features, while certain basic functionality would still be available for free. On top of all that you can pay $4.99 […]

Overall the experience is good the amount of pictures is different. However, I noticed that it does give you an amount of time to wait to gain an extra picture for more plants to be identified it could be useful in someways and hard in others so it’s a give and take situation. Overall it’s […]

Minus 1000 *!! WORST APP EVER!! updated, & tried everything, including using the menu in the app description where you’re supposed to be able to select the part of the app you want to go to, that however didn’t work either! Not one single thing will EVER come up except the advertising page that says […]

I was skeptical about using an app for plant identification, but Plantum has won me over. the process is quick and painless just take a photo and voila! the app gives you a detailed breakdown of your plant, including its needs and potential problems. the care reminders have been particularly helpful. I’ve forgotten to water […]

Several errors, but my biggest complaint- lots of my plants aren’t even included in their encyclopedia, and some of the classification is very confusing. For example, a plant that’s not uncommon might be listed under an unusual name. All in all, it would be easy to use, if it was better organized with more plants, […]

Why did it suddenly delete my journals? I kept entries for all my 15 plants, with pictures and notes. One day my plants were gone, I logged out and in, and my plants were back but the journals were never recovered. Very sad as this is one of the only two features of this app […]

I downloaded this app to check it out. Of course there is a subscription like I expected. Weekly plan is 4.99. Yearly is 14.99 then they have option for a free trial. So if you opt in for the free trial the yearly price then turns into 19.99. So its not really free. Your paying […]

It is a fairly accurate plant identifier. The adds greatly oversell the plant diagnosis. It gave generic advise for distressed plants requiring additional payment for a specific diagnosis from an expert. The basic plant data is nice and the format of the app is good. I was not counting on the regular subscription fee, and […]

​I initially downloaded this app hoping to find a reliable way to identify plants, but unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed with the results. The plant identification feature was inaccurate for me, often failing to correctly identify plants even when I provided a clear photo. I found myself having to look for other options, and using […]

Great app to identify my plants and keep me on schedule for their care. Easy to use. The only con is that it will lose all the data occasionally (twice so far) so I have to reload my data. Update:This is the third time all of my data has been dropped and I have lost […]

Subscription based headache. I downloaded this app based on its lifetime subscription version on iOS. Apparently they felt only Android people were foolish enough to pay endlessly for it. While functionally it could be the best app of its kind, I’d rather go without rather than go with that kind of thing often bordering dangerously […]
