FloraQuest: Carolinas, Georgia

This app is a work of genius! It has great photos, easy to decipher range maps and up to date information on Carolina botany. Bravo!!!

Makes me feel like I’m a decent botanist! Completely changed my ID procedure for the better

Best app purchase I’ve made in a long time: Useful, trustworthy information with full citations and reputable sourcing (without being overwhelming to a newbie like me) Straightforward interface that informs, not distracts Full capability and access with or without internet connection (!!) No ads, no data mining, and NO SUBSCRIPTION (!!!) This has already been useful as we transition our yard to native plants. Seeing a new native plant for sale? Before, I had to spend 5-10 minutes of screen time Googling and comparing info from various websites to verify a plant’s native bona fides, figure out its ideal growing conditions, and picture its mature form. All that information is right here, immediately, powered by scholarly sources rather than crowdsourcing and/or ad revenue. 30 seconds to a confident decision: less screen time, less distraction, less decision fatigue. I can go on hikes and make new discoveries without connecting to the internet and navigating through ads, distracting rabbit holes, and dubious information. And in an environment where every little thing is a subscription, I pay just once for all this utility! Big fan.
