PictureThis has been featured in the App Store from different countries. While not perfect, it can distinguish with high accuracy between different species in our collection of rare plants. It can even recognise down to cultivar sometimes - amazing. Amazed how it can work with any photo and it will give recognition a go - with impressive accuracy. I used 3 others before breaking down to use the PictureThis app and I have to say it is a lot more convenient and accommodating than the others.
I downloaded this app to help try and identify some weeds and vines that were growing in the yard with all intentions of deleting it before the end of the free trial, but honestly, this app rules! Not only did it give a almost constantly accurate identification for most of the plants on my yard, but also has tons of information on said plants and how to deal with them. Only unfortunate downside to this app is that some times it will miss identify plants or give different identification to the same plant if different photos are provided.
There is, however, the option to ask a botanist to help identify or diagnose your plant. Overall I am very impressed with this app and will be keeping it around. The interface is beautiful, you can connect with people on the map in your area and see what others are snapping and the database is pretty solid.
I wish there was a place to add a wishlist!! No plant app seems to have this feature yet! I hope to see these improvements and to see this gain better ratings, as it definitely deserves it over its terrible competitor! Good informations but never get the right plants, try 22 plants which I known all their name, corrected only 4 try 13 roses, non of them correctly. But if you get the right plants, you will get the useful details and easy to share on social.
