I mean this is the closest application we’ve got to a real life pokédex and I really enjoy to build a collection of organisms I’ve seen in the wild. Also the idea behind it is fantastic, as it can contribute to science and it’s also free of charge to use the app. Even though it is far from perfect, this is arguably the most accurate application for identifying organisms on the market. But as others have mentioned there are still a lot to be desired. Cloud saves and cross sync between devices are missing. Hence, if you delete local app data your collection is gone. I have hundreds of discoveries, which could easily be lost. Also the app itself is super buggy, as it can crash and is slow. Sometimes it can freeze when taking a picture. I got the IPhone 15 Pro so it should not be hardware related. Also the camera in the app struggles to focus, and I feel like you need to be really close for it to actually recognize anything. Hope this can be fixed in the future, and to update the database with more species. But also a social feature to add friends and view their collections would be nice.

Appen gör vad den ska och är ganska bra på att identifiera växter, men kameran i appen är tyvärr inte lika kapabel som telefonens egen kamera-app. Inte heller fungerar det att ladda upp bilder i appen (funktionen finns, men det verkar som den inte klarar att läsa in mitt bildbibliotek). Även Wikipedia-länkningen har brister: Det finns ingen bakåtknapp så det går inte att navigera på Wikipedia. Man kan heller inte välja att öppna länkar i extern webbläsare. Allt som allt är det en bra app, och jag använder den så gott som dagligen, men bristerna jag nämnt blir ett hinder.

Wonderful app. Please solve focus issues of the camera (in my case XR). Otherwise 4 or 5 stars.

Amazing app although I have one issue. When I use my camera it only recognizes things from a bit away. Getting more close up creates depth of field that the app does not work with. So often a plant is only recognized when the picture is out of focus. When I try to adjust the focus the app all of a sudden doesn’t recognize it anymore. So I get stuck with a library of bad photos. I would like to replace them with better ones but the app won’t let me cause it doesn’t recognize the plant. But I need these better ones so I can recognize it. So would be great if you could be allowed to choose a photo of your own ones you know a plant.

Thank you for a wonderful app to learn and explore more about nature. Very useful, accurate and fun. Reason for not giving five stars is the constant camera issues on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The camera cannot utilize auto focus at all. Also sometimes switches to wrong camera orientation..needs a restart to switch back.

Mycket nöjd med den här appen; enkel och tydlig och har hittills kunnat konfirmera att den är tillförlitlig!

Bästa appen om man vill lära sig mer om djur och natur! Även kul att tävla om vem som hittar flest arter.

Identifierar de flesta växter imponerande snabbt. Gäller även fåglar. Verkar göra det korrekt såvitt jag kan bedöma. Klart bästa appen av de jag prövat inom detta område.

Känns ganska säker, men ibland kommer bara det latinska namnet upp så att man får söka vidare.

Most of the time the app find what plant it is But not all the time and that can be a bit annoying. Would be fun if you can add friends that also have the app and see what plants They found.
