Best app ever!

Suzette.E on

Oh my I love this app I mean, maybe it doesn’t really have a lot of plant’s because I was inside at night time with fake plants, but this was the best app definitely download!

Painful and Frustrating

Street Map on

United States

2-19-2024: Is there a reason why ‘open’ Challenges dating back to 2019 cannot be deleted? 1-29-2024; Who designed this mess? # Home page: when selecting an option from the drop down none of the species displayed are in alphabetical order. # Achievements: shows Species and Challenges badges. No descriptions - You just have to know what icons mean. # Challenges: I have 6 challenges in progress with a percentage of completion. Further down (way down) the page, it shows 3 completed but no dates of completion. # My Observations: I count 159 but I doubt the accuracy of a few as one was tagged as a Mexican free-tailed bat but was actually a leaf. # Notifications: this page just doesn’t make sense. It shows a whopping 207 notifications that I ‘almost finished a Challenge’ or ‘Completed’ one. NONE have dates or names the challenge. Are they duplicates? Time to delete.

Amazing potential but needs tweaks

Pojash on

United States

What a fun app with incredible potential. The photo capture piece needs some work. One helpful change would be to allow me to add a photo to “my observations” section even if your app can’t identify it fully. There are some cases where I know the plant and want to capture it in my collection but I am unable to because the app can’t fully capture it down to the species level.

Doesn’t really work

Ronlow00 on

United States

Tried with ducks, fish, plants and it just doesn’t work. Get a lot of error messages saying it doesn’t know that particular item and it throws out a guess to what family it belongs in. I live in upper Midwest USA and I just don’t think it has a library for our area.

Best App Ever!

Lassie 21 on

United States

This App is so much fun and so informative. My friends and I look up plants, land animals, and ocean life with great success. Thanks so much for hours of enjoyment using this app. It’s great that it is a free app with NO ads and NO tracking.

AMAZING PLANT APP!!

United States

I highly recommend this app if your interested in learning more about plants and animals, or just for fun! You can identify living things and find out what they are and facts about them. Also, you can earn badges by taking photos I highly recommend!!! 😁

Great app!

ncbhfrchknchjrenmcjne on

United States

This app is great when you find a plant or animal and want to find out what species it is. Whenever I come across a plant or animal that I don’t recognize, I use this app. When you observe an animal or plant, it rewards you with a badge! !

Awesome
