## NSW WeedWise Description
The NSW WeedWise app helps people protect our health, environment, animals, farms and waterways from the impacts of weeds in New South Wales. 

The app has information about over 335 weeds. It is used by farmers, land managers, gardeners and weeds professionals. You can search or browse weed names alphabetically by common or scientific name. 

The app is divided into 3 sections: profile, biosecurity section and control section. The profile section includes weed photos, descriptions, and information about where they grows, how they spreads and how the weeds could affect you. 

The biosecurity section includes details about which weeds must be reported, restrictions on sales, and management requirements at the state and regional levels. This information is from the NSW Biosecurity Act 2015, its subordinate legislation, and the Regional Strategic Weed Management Plans (published by each Local Land Services region in NSW). 

The control section includes both herbicide and herbicide free options. The herbicide section details rates, methods and conditions of use for herbicides registered by the Australian Pesticide and Veterinary Medicines Authority. It also includes details of minor use permits. 

You can easily share the weed profiles with friends and colleagues and save weeds to a favourites list.

## NSW WeedWise Reviews in Australia

### **--- "Needs a description based search"
This is great if you know what you are looking for by name. It is disappointing that there is no option to search by description or type (shrub, vine, etc). The thumbnails are too small to find the weeds easily by how they look. I’d love to see these improvements to the app.
-- Mulberry345, 2024-08-05

### **--- "Not so good"
You have to know what the weed is before looking it up. There are no filters options to narrow a search e.g. ground cover, blue flower etc.
Also the picture library of the weeds featured is quite limited.
Good info on each species is included but don’t expect the app to make it easy to search for and identify a weed
-- Chezzdog1, 2023-08-23

### ***-- "It’s ok"
Interface is good, search tool is good, but the pictures are to low in resolution to see anything more that green blobs, we need multiple pictures for each weed, I.e. the whole plant, the actual leaves in same scale as if you were looking in person. It’s also missing Capeweed, this weed basically covers all public places and most yards in the Newcastle area.
-- Džeff, 2021-07-17

### ***** "Such a handy App!"
This App is so handy. I use it all the time to find out the most up to date information about weeds and their control. If anyone asks me about weeds, I tell them they should get this App.
-- Kyliepv, 2021-06-11

### ***** "Love the update"
New version is great. Less bugs and a much better look
-- mulehodge, 2021-03-04

### *---- "needs update for ios14"
will not run in ios 14
-- Wtf96, 2020-11-26

### *---- "I’d give it 0 stars if possible"
Not a single weed in my yard (and I’ve got a lot) or in the spare block next to me are in these lists, I tried searching their scientific name, common name, scrolled through the lists and nothing.
Here are some that I’ve identified that aren’t in the app:

Purslane/Portuluca - not there.
Summer grass (digitaria Sanguinalis) - not there.
Mallow (Malva Parviflora) not there.
Lamb’s tongue/plantain (plantago ianceolata) not there.
Cape weed (arctotheca calendula) not there.

I don’t recognise a single weed from the pictures on the app and I set my location to my exact city. Waste of time downloading

### ***** "Great resource for farmers and gardeners alike"
Very informative resource. Ability to search by region. Fantastic and extensive control methods. 100% recommend this ap.
-- Murcielago29, 2018-05-06

### ****- "Very useful"
I use this tool often to search plant names and photos. Very useful.
-- Earth baby, 2015-10-30

### ***** "Brilliant."
Very very helpful.
-- loonniiee, 2015-03-13
