PlantNet App Reviews

Did not ID poison ivy. Not only that, it doesnt even have poison ivy in the library. Great idea, but its a terrible app. Even if it worked, the UI is terrible. You cant vcompare your photo to the search results because you have to scroll down to view the results. Meaning there is no side-by-side view before you submit a contribution. No way to remove contributions, either. Generally, there are no clear instructions; the intro just a list of features. It also requires your location all the time / "always." Why do you need my location every second of the day?

Horrible.. Thought my orchids were maple trees... What?

Does not come close to what the plant is. It will just list every purple flower in its vocabulary.

Basically just lists a bunch of random plants after taking a picture. Couldnt even figure out soybean.

After downloading it, I realized it only works for French flora.

Couldnt identify a simple plant of any kind. None were even close to it.

I read the reviews before downloading and was pleasantly surprised. It has not crashed and has worked quite well for me. I have done several searches now and it has helped me identify several flowers in my yard. I had to do a little digging through the long list of results, but I was successful! Thanks!

It states in the guide that it only is usable for the French metropolitan flora! Im not in France so Im not sure how accurate it is but I wont be trying it here because it specifically states its for the local French flora only.

I was so excited at the potential, so wanted it to work....I kept trying but, 9 different plant tries =9 failures. Sigh....

It couldnt even identify chamomile. Dont waste your time.

Cannot identify any Pics I have. I know what they are and the pics are very clear. Waste of time

Identified basil as a pine. Surely the French grow basil. Super excited to get this...ultimately disappointed. :(

As a trial I took a great photo of a yellow dwarf marigold. I got all kinds of suggestions as to what it might be. None were even close. Took a photo of Bee Balm. Again, none of the suggestions were even close. This app is a waste of time!

Could NOT identify any plants I took clear pictures off .

This doesnt even come close!

Took crystal clear photos of common flowers and the app could not identify a single one. Not only that, it didnt even present any of them on the provided pictorial list. Here are the flowers I tested: Pink Peonies White Peonies Mountain Laurel Tulips Impatiens Hydrangeas Zinnia Nasturtiums Tiger Lily The app has serious potential, but as of now, its useless. :-/

Ive seen some poor reviews of this app and suspect that people may be tarting to ID plants outside of the French territory specified in the app. Im sure that itll continue to expand and cant wait for it to come over to the states :)

Was this app made in France or made in China?

Crashes every time I try to upload a photo.

I had high hopes when I found this app but it is worthless so far. I tested it on 4 of my plants and it was wrong on all of them. I hope this can be fixed because I love the idea behind it.
