Often times the plant results are completely bizarre, no where related to plant in the picture! I have been using this app for years now but my experience is that the quality of the most basic things has been degrading with time. Perhaps they want to encourage users to take a premium subscription but unfortunately, I don't trust it as much anymore. You used to be so helpful Plantsnap, what happened? :(

Such a handy app. And where ever I am, eve. when on my travels abroad. I can snap a photo of a bloom or leaf and within seconds a photo list incl. botanical name pops up. When I cannot identify a plant then, the choice is there to throw yr photo in the app to have it identified. On addition I like the ability to be able to share photos and chat with other plant lovers via this app. Thank U.

Almost useless, barely identifies anything and only 5 free snaps per day. If it was more accurate, would have considered buying the premium, but have since found a much more accurate and totally free app
