An interesting toy. Limited uses without $, and I really can't see paying for something I'll use 2-3 times a year, max. A curiosity. I've had it for a long, long time, and I've used it twice, and one of those times took multiple attempts and didn't get great matching. I can do without it, the storage space is too valuable.

Hi, Ramix! Thank you for your review! 😊 You can ID five plants a day for free (make sure to install the free version, ok?). To get a better match, make sure to submit a well framed picture with good lightning. Let us know if it worked! Hope to see you again with us! 🌻💚 PlantSnap - Identify plants, trees & flowers

It's a great idea for an app. I'm not convinced that it identifies things correctly, though. Also there is some kind of bug in the app that prevents my phone from sleeping and keeps the app open and running. Pulled my phone out of my pocket a couple hours after snapping a photo of a plant, and the app was still running, my battery almost dead, and my phone extremely hot.

After a year, it has yet to ever correctly identify a plant for me. So I updated the software and gave it one more try. This time it kept crashing while trying to start a force product survey. Good intentions but very poor execution of that was a product satisfaction pole. When I figured out how to bypass the crashing survey, it failed to identify a plant once again. Uninstalled. Too bad, I was hoping for a plant version of the Merlin app for birders.
