iPlant with Brigitte Mars

When I bought this app it was wonderful — it had a lot of extras with it, extremely useful. Like many developers, this one has chosen to go for the gusto — she wants more of my money, so she takes away certain features, then offers to sell them back to me for more money. I gave in and did it, only to find out she did not restore the extras – there were little parts where information was cut off, those parts were fixed, but now I’m still supposed to spend to “upgrade.“ I still miss the extras, especially the dictionary of the technical terms she uses, but in order to get those you’ll have to go join her on her Facebook page. Pretty cheap trick for getting more Facebook followers. And you don’t have access to them if youre not online. So note to greedy developers: give your customer something, then take it away and charge them again. The information in this app is excellent, but the sleazy tactics give this “medicine“ a bad taste.

Are used to love this app. Now it limits the information without an upgrade. I don’t know how to upgrade. And it is unstable and not working on my iPhone X. Will rate five stars once it is fixed. Thanks

Such a cool app! I’m a conservation biology major and I’ve always really liked plants but aside from their appearance never really knew anything else about them. This app has cool little descriptions of the plants, their characteristics, their range, and even their effect on the surrounding soil(COOL)! Some entries are more detailed than others, but I’ve learned a lot from it and there’s even a little section that lists what part of the plants have historically been used as medicine, so now I can follow along when my horticulture friends start talking about all the properties of mint and crud.

I know many of the plants, but don't remember medicinal properties or what parts to use. This app is great on a plant walk to not just find the plants but to read a concise description about the plant.

I love the high quality photos of each plant. Thank you!

I love this app have had it since the 2nd gen touch was new or about then --I have seen many changes in it in that time and while it doesn't update a ton it's a very stable platform and has a ton of good info as well it's my first reference app if this dosent have the plant then I go to another app As always room for improvement and I know some of what I've commented to the developers they had in mind --in the past (I haven't opened lately) there were some that didn't have pictures but they weren't common to me so I wasn't overly concerned by it

I was so excited to see this app. It's a great little reference app. However I didn't give it 5 stars because it wish it could be more expansive (I.e. How can it not have rhodiola? ) Also many of the entries are cut off in mid sentence so that's disappointing. However it does have lots of information such as contraindication, etymology, plant part use and medicinal uses. It's very general but it's a good snapshot and there's a bonus section on how to make tinctures and some others. Wish I could also search by scientific name. There are some herbal books I own that only list the scientific names so this would be a helpful tool. However I'm glad I have it.

I use this reference often as I am a great believer in herb teas as health enhancers and this guide, for the herbs it includes, is quite good. Even better, I only recently realized I can search for the herb I need by the condition I'm hoping to improve, e.g. Sinusitis, headache, arthritis,etc. and the guide yields a list of the most useful herbs associated with that condition. Well Done. I've been drinking herb teas for 40+ years and now am a tad more efficient at it thanks to this resource.

Brigitte is tremendously inspiring and this app reflects the care and knowledge she has about these plants. Please start with a few cities and pull out lists of plants we can find during the summer and then expand on that. Thanks!

Great for when you're on the go and curious.
