Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

wow

★★ · v3.6.12 · Oct 13, 2026

so the app might be ok But i asked to get info of what possibly is happening with my tree and all i got was standard info about my tree. even when asking about diseases. But besides this i think its obscene they want to charge $60 a month. SERIOUSLY!?

Jo

★ · v3.6.10 · Sep 27, 2026

Not useful, please cancel this app it did not work for me

Cancel subscription and still charging

★ · v3.6.9 · Sep 12, 2026

I canceled way before and it charged me the subscription

Racket

★ · v3.6.9 · Sep 3, 2026

I have three varieties of apples that came with the property and the ap says they’re all the same variety what a crock of hooey

Totally wrong

★ · v3.6.9 · Aug 30, 2026

This app told me the leaves of a calla Lilly plant I propagated were a lucky bamboo plant.. sooo wrong.. so lucky I discontinued the subscription..

Be very careful with this app!!!!

★ · v3.6.9 · Aug 27, 2026

I thought I was paying $24.99 for the year. I have been charged for 3 months straight and I still have never been able to access the app.

Disappointed this plant identified some sick habaneros as a Virginia creeper.

★ · v3.6.9 · Aug 27, 2026

I was looking for an app that would identify unhealthy plants diagnosis, and treatment by taking a photo. I thought that that’s what I saw with this particular app, but it does not perform that function.

Doesn’t Work

★ · v3.6.9 · Aug 27, 2026

Not sure if they are just trying to make you pay, but I’ve tried to scan 4 different things and it comes up something that doesn’t even look close to what I scanned. And everything is poisonous apparently

Horrible

★ · v3.6.9 · Aug 22, 2026

Couldn’t identify anything accurately- network issues and still charged me

Expensive

★★ · v3.6.9 · Aug 21, 2026

Why is it so expensive? You’re asking $120.00 year??

No account found and charging me

★ · v3.6.9 · Aug 17, 2026

No account and they have been charging me since May I have proof on both my emails no account found.

Cannot identify my broccoli or cauliflower

★★ · v3.6.8 · Aug 14, 2026

Not happy

Be careful

★ · v3.6.7 · Jul 30, 2026

I ended up paying $9.99 weekly for over a month because I didn’t realize that I had signed up for a subscription. I know that’s somewhat on me but also, it was very easy to miss for this app specifically.

Just use copilot

★ · v3.6.5 · Jul 13, 2026

Most of my attempted plant identifications come back with nothing. Not to mention I have an issue recovering my account every time there’s a big update. I’ve lost all my saved plants multiple times.

Plant identifier does not work.

★ · v3.6.5 · Jul 9, 2026

I purchased this app to help with my plants in their needs and it can’t even identify my plant let alone tell me what’s wrong with it. 🫩

Doesnt work

★ · v3.6.4 · Jul 8, 2026

The trial was confusing and it signed me up for something I did not want. When I tried to open the app it said it was down for maintenance. I do not want to be subscribed to anything that does not work when I downloaded. Please remove me and do not charge me for an app that did not work

Definitely NOT FREE

★★ · v3.6.4 · Jul 3, 2026

May be a fine app but it’s advertised as free. Yes, for 3 days then there is a weekly fee. False marketing!

Horrible App

★ · v3.6.4 · Jul 2, 2026

Cannot identify plants nor can identify diseases

Garbage app

★ · v3.6.2 · Jun 23, 2026

I took three pictures of the same tree and it gave me three different names. This app is garbage.

I’m dissatisfied

★★ · v3.6.2 · Jun 20, 2026

Your website is very difficult to navigate… One of the things that works for me is taking a photo of my plant… Even that has not been working… Says they’re having difficulty… I didn’t Pay to sign up and then have such a difficulty… It’s just not clear enough.

Unavailable??

★★ · v3.6.2 · Jun 19, 2026

This sucks!! Can’t even use the app because of “high volume” or some excuse for not being diligent of the product.

Scam

★ · v3.6.2 · Jun 19, 2026

It’s not free

Scummy subscription UX

★ · v3.6.2 · Jun 16, 2026

Be careful. Check your subs via app store.

Provides inaccurate data

★ · v3.6.1 · Jun 15, 2026

This doesn’t work and provides poor data

Nah

★ · v3.6.1 · Jun 14, 2026

Identified a tiny mushroom as a friggin’ palm tree. You expect people to pay for this??

The opportunity

What would it take to build a viable competitor, what would it cost to run every month, and a prompt to get started. Generated from the reviews on file; one LLM call per brief. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for a real brief; the stub only fills in a template.
