FlowerChecker, plant identify App Reviews

I recently moved to a house with a wide assortment of plants unfamiliar to me. Instead of laboring through thick picture books or using ineffective computer-recognition apps, this sends a few photos to a team of botanists for accurate, personalized identification. Brilliant app, great execution! (one minor improvement would be to allow asynchronous uploads of identification requests so I can snap off a bunch at a time without having to wait for each upload to complete)

Fast, and on point with my plants. This is a great app!

Just moved to a new house with lots of weeds, some of which looked like they could be poison ivy. This helped to identify questionable weeds in a very timely manner.

Its a scam! Once you purchase the App, you have to use coins to get each identification and if they cannot identify it the first time, you have to use another coin to upload more information. You only receive 3 coins, upon purchase of the app, so you will have to purchase more coins in the future. I have already used 2 of my 3 coins on one plant, only to receive an identical answer, which was "need more information". I uploaded more photos and detailed information the second time, so I dont know what else they need??!! My guess is they continue this back and forth, so you are forced to purchase more coins.

You have to purchase the app and then you have to pay to use it. I wouldnt mind paying to use the app if I didnt have to purchase it to begin with. Just doesnt seem right to me c

We just moved and had no idea what was in the landscaping, but now we do thanks to this app and botanists. If Im out and see a plant I may want but cant identify I can just snap and send.

This app has been great so far. I confirmed my three plant identification requests with gardener friends later and the app had the names right. For a neophyte plant person like me, I would highly recommend this app.

Deleted app same day I purchased. After paying for the app, had to pay in "coins" that cost $. to get answer to question. There was no mention of the additional costs before purchase of app.

First of all you get three free options "coins" to identify three plants. After your 3 coins are used, you will have to pay to continue using the app identifier. The app has 24 hours to resolve. It never was able to identify my plant of a pic I uploaded. Complete joke.

I am a botanist myself, but we all get stumped now and then, especially by strange cultivars. I had been asked to ID a plant with neither flowers nor fruits (not ideal) from Los Angeles. I submitted a photo to FlowerChecker and had an answer (that I confirmed!) in under 24 hours. The people behind the app are extremely kind and responsive as well as good at their job. The app is simple to use too. Definitely 5 stars. If I had one small complaint, its just that the alert (that a message arrived) sometimes led to...no message displayed. Later, it would be visible. Not sure if thats operator error though).

Love this app! Easy to use with quick and accurate response to your inquiry. Find out about those plants you have always wondered about.

Buy this app. Its the best one of its kind out there. Fast, accurate, its just overall great. I highly recommend it, the other apps excuse my language stink compared to flower checker. Whatre you waiting for? Get it!

I uploaded a picture of a weed from my front yard and got an answer in about 30 minutes. I had spent about 20 minutes before that trying to figure out the weed myself and got nowhere, so was so happy this app worked and it was so fast. And also appreciate that the price is reasonable for this service.

I tested this app by uploading a picture of a plant I already had identified. I had to use (or get?) a coin before I even knew whether they had correctly identified the plant. They did correctly i identify it. But I dont like the pay aspect or the wait to get in and then if Acacian. On the plus side, another app I tried that did picture comparison was unsuccessful

I used this app last spring to identify a pesky weed I had growing at an old house. I got an answer within 30 mins and it was spot on. My family moved to a new house about a month ago and now, with it being Spring, we have many plants growing. I just used this app a little bit ago to identify 3 plants and got answers within 10 mins. Im beyond excited to have this help me figure out all the new plants in my new yard!

Very quick

Ive only used it twice so far! But the answers have been quick!
