1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   REFUND. I accidentally purchased this & immediately asked for a refund & deleted the app. I have been charged twice since I requested cancellation. PLEASE REFUND NOW!

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Doesn’t work, won’t even open. Ditto

3. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   False. Was suppose to be a free 7 day trial, they charged me $10

4. ★★★★★recognition misses on the most common plants

   Inaccurate Identifications. I am big into plants and gardening. I just downloaded this app to give it a shot. Tested it first with 5 plants in my garden that I already know what they are. It identified every single one incorrectly. 0/5

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Can’t cancel. It did not show up in my subscriptions on my IPhone so I couldn’t cancel.

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Weekly subscription fee. $9.99/week to use. I didn't know this app would cost a subscription to use.

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Typical. Like so many other apps, they waste a few minutes of your time asking you stuff BEFORE telling you it requires a subscription. I don’t mind paying a subscription sometimes for stuff I find valuable but be upfront about it instead of asking you a questionnaire and to give them a rating before you even use the app

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Good for 10sec. You get to identify 2 whole plants before it makes you pay

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Accident subscription. This is a trap I need to figure out how to unsubscribe. I don’t need this

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Deceptive rating structure. Gotta love the intro that includes “thanks for leaving a 5 star review!” that forces you to accept leaving the 5 star rating before you can even open the app. No thanks. Deleted.

11. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Way too expensive. Not sure if I'm getting charged or not for the free trial

12. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Not Accurate. I took a pic of my Aplomado Falcon, it was identified as an American Kestrel, not even close, I took a pics of my Trident Maple Bonsai, it was identified as Pacific Poison Oak, WRONG!!

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Nine dollars a week!. This app was portrayed as free and add free but there is no option to bypass paying $10 a week for this app that does the exact same thing as Google image or inaturalist it was a waste of phone storage downloading this

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Plant Temu. Convenient how they ask for a rating right before they hit you with $10. Shiesty

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Plant. Serious

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Poor identifier of plants. Tried to identify a plant and it gave me four different results

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    WASTE OF TIME!!!. People don’t have money to waste on an app that REQUIRES you subscribe to a monthly plan just to see if the plants are safe. Do better!!!

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not free. Requires signing up for service.

19. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Scam trial. I can’t not find a way to cancel the trial before they charge me. There is no where!

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Misleading. Only free for seven days. So misleading.

21. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Total Rip Off!!!!. Free for a week trial then a whopping $10 per WEEK!!impossible to cancel once they get your card!!!

22. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Inaccurate- couldn’t even ID plants correctly. I hoped I could get a diagnosis for issues with houseplants and outdoor plants. It would either say “healthy plant” (which missed clear indications of a problem) and/or identified the plant incorrectly. Anytime it gave a diagnosis, it was a standard diagnosis that included every possibility. You still had to figure out which issue your plant is having. Too much or too little water, stress, too much or too little light, maybe a bug issue. Really? That’s not helpful. No thanks…don’t waste your time. It’s difficult to cancel the app subscription/ free trial!

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesnt work. Awful

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Unable to restore. I bought the Life Time subscription of this app which they no longer offer. And I can’t restore my subscription so the only offer is to start a new one which I’m not going to. I’ve emailed asking about this however nobody’s reached back out. Very disappointed because I enjoyed the app.

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Scam. Despite the fact that I configured the app to remind me before it renewed, it did not. By default, it charges your account $9.99 a week. If you get this, cancel right away, or you will find that you paid $10 to use the app for two weeks (one week free and the next when you forgot to cancel in time).

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Deceitful Deceptive Money Grab. I downloaded the app and read the most recent reviews. This is just another pick pocket pretending to be a friendly source of information. I have plenty of books that I can use for free, and I know nurseries who freely share information without having to get blindsided by a subscription. When the grid goes down I keep using my personal plant library while your subscribers have nothing to show for their hundreds of dollars in fees. This is only suitable for a beginner or a lazy nursery owner. PS after reading the ten Most recent reviews of this app I DELETED it without hesitation. I’m ashamed of Apple for allowing this but what can one expect from a man who presents a trophy to the White House for preferential business treatment.

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Why make me waste my time if it’s not free. I hate wasting my time filling out a dumb quiz for it to slap a price in my face. Nice touch to try to get a review before it shows me the price tag too. Just slimy business tactics and I hate it

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No sirve. Lo descargué para que identificara una planta y no sirvió para nada, trate con varias y nisiquiera reconoció un pino… y 10 dólares a la semana????? Es una estafa nos sirve nisiquiera reconoció de gratis… porque no puedo darle 0 estrellas no porque nisiquiera el cero se merece

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No. Wanted the free one week and they ended up charging for a week.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Cancelling is difficult. There seems to be no way to cancel. Avoid this app
