Garden Answers Plant Id

Very helpful in identifying plants

i suggest it for people who love the outdoors

Very good advice given. Particularly useful where a potentially harmful weed/invasive species is identified.

So handy when you can’t identify a plant or flower

A great app which rarely misses the mark! Does depend on the quality of the pic but a really handy “go to”.

This is a fantastic plant identifying app, and can only become more accurate if users bother to input their own photos to the data base when the app accurately ID’s their mystery plant. The more photos of a particular plant which are added to the app, the easier it will be for users to successfully ID any plant. Detailed and fairly decent photos of the plant are obviously more helpful than poorly lit, fuzzy ones. If you have even a basic ability to take a photo on your phone, and use apps, you’ll be able to use Plant ID. There are two ways to use photos to ID plants on the app - by opening the app and THEN taking a photo of a plant, or using a older photo from your own photo library to upload to the app. If you worry about cyber safety, just don’t allow the app to access your photo library. The next step is that the app brings up numerous photos of similar (in theory) plants won your screen. You can scroll through all the app’s data base of plant photos, with names and helpful info, until hopefully you hit a bullseye. You can even dig deeper by tapping on a plant in the app’s data base which takes you to other sites to continue researching. I mainly use this app when I’m out and about and spot a plant I can’t ID and may want to buy. As I mentioned though, the photos of plants in the app’s data base will improve if users add their own photos once their plants are successfully identified. If I don’t find a match, I ask the “experts” via the app to look at my photo and get back to me with the name. Again, success depends on users adding decent photos which show their mystery plants when the app has successfully identified the plant. You don’t need to be a great photographer, but the more your photo shows the true colours and plant details the more helpful this app will be.

Just love this app. Have used it so many times. Have found though some Australian plants don’t come up but the more people use it and contribute the better it will become. Recommend this app to all.

I’ve tested out a few plant/flower identifier apps and this one was the best by far! Highly recommend! Not always accurate but accurate majority of the time, offering multiple suggestions if the first one isn’t a match! Well designed and easy to use app, great!

Love this

Fast and reliable. Great taking own photos and getting matched back.
