★★★★★ "Too $$$. This is just too expensive. It doesn’t let you diagnose, you have to pay or do the “free 7 days trial”. I went to the library and got the info I needed. Bonus points for walking there." - Mayimbitto

Ripoff
This app claims it is free. It immediately forces you to enroll in paid subscription. The first 7 days are free before payments begin, thus the problematic claim that it is free.
I logged in to check its disease diagnostic capability. It does not evaluate your plant, it offers a checklist to help you guess your plant problem. This app is deceptively presented. I hope I can back out of app before it starts sucking money.

Not enough info
Wouldn't renew it doesn't really help much with diagnosis
Liars…
This app claims to be FREE…. It is NOT free. You get it at no vast for ONE WEEK… then you have to pay for it. It is FRAUDULENT to say it is a free app!!
Would not let me test with free trial
When I clicked get free trial it just said failed for no reason and before that when I tried to get the free trial it just kept loading for a long time so I could not try it.
Rarely accurate
Watering schedule is not accurate, never takes into consideration what type of soil, how fast or slow draining it is. I’ve had plants die from not being watered enough, others from too much. I don’t believe the app’s watering schedule anymore. It’s good for occasional reminders and that’s it.
Compromised
Was compromised right after subscribing to this app, bad timing
Paywall
Paywalls don’t use
Save your Money
Got this app and after 2 months all of my plants are dead. Subscription renewed at annual rate. Save your time and money.
Strawberry plants
Wrong you said they were something else
Gardener
You didn’t identify the plant, and that is what I wanted.
Not sure
Well the app decided to charge my ApplePay after the 7 day freebie bc, my fault, I forgot. Fine I’ll use it for the year. I haven’t seen anything useful on it except the DIY fertilizing. I’m really in tune with my plants so I water them as needed so that’s what the app tells me to do. Water today, tmw, today. When I log in a plant isn’t doing well it doesn’t pop up how to help in any way. It doesn’t suggest which plants hate one another and which plants will thrive being next to each other. Haven’t found which bugs help certain plants or what to spray if you have squirrels or raccoons hovering around. I’ve found Google & YouTube to be more reliable and explanatory than the app. I’ll keep hoping & if it gets better I’ll change my rating but for now this is my 6mth-ish experience. Hope this helps without sounding mean or whiny.
