Iplant - Plant Identification for Negative User Reviews
✓ Hard to give a true ratingI haven’t had a chance to find out if the app correctly identified the plant so it’s very hard for give a proper rating and review. I was asked to write a review immediately after identifying the plant..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Often misidentifiesSometimes this app appears to be quite accurate, yet other times it doesn’t even place the plant anyways near the correct category. Sadly it’s not a reliable identification tool..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Doesn’t always get it right.I find the app frustrating as it doesn’t always recognise the plant or flower I am trying to identify. I.e I took a picture of a bunch of Alstroemerias, all the same colour and it told me it was a floral display. I had to take a close up of one flower head to get the correct answer. I also took a picture of a Spirea to find out which variety it was. It told me it was a rose! When it does get it right there is a lot of information to be had, which is a plus, hence 3 stars and not 2..Version: 1.0.0
✓ It's just okSometimes it takes a while to get through. depending on the angle of your photo determines the answer you get. doesn’t always give the right answer..Version: 2.2.0
✓ You have to know what you are doingOffers suggestions rather than definitive answers. Annoyingly does not seem to accept corrections or requests to look again when its identification is clearly wrong. Also needs more data as it still tends to reveal its origins by finding oddly large numbers of plants generally found in China growing in the English countryside..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Don’t believe the hypeI loaded the app in order to identify a small flower on a large leafy plant. Because it has so many stars I thought that it would work well. That was not the experience that I had. It identified the small white flower as a garden rose and I know without a doubt that it is not. That, I could forgive if I could tell it no, try again. However, it was more or less like ‘take it or leave it’. Highly disappointed. I didn’t even have it for an hour and it is already deleted..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Struggles to provide anything of useI have up loaded 6 or more plants an so far it returns generic useless info like Shrub or cash crop Other answers have just been wrong or it may provide different answers for different images of the same Plant.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Plant identificationHouseplant not specific enough.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Wrong plants identifiedTried on two different flowers. One it says is a rose and I doubt it is and other an iris when it isn’t! Deleting :(.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Not badPretty good app…wish it was faster.Version: 2.2.0
✓ NinebarkGood.Version: 2.2.0
✓ Identified a purple tomato as eggplantI wanted to figure out what type of tomato I have. It was identified as an eggplant lol.Version: 2.2.0
✓ Too slow, too old, and too stupidThis app takes forever to upload/download so would be pretty useless in the field. Used it once and deleted it immediately..Version: 1.0.0
✓ DisappointingRubbish app . Can’t identify any thing . Save your data and time.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Funniest appThis app has identified a granite counter top, aluminum siding and a flower pot but usually fails to see the plant.Version: 1.0.0
✓ IplantI wanted to test it on a plant that I new the name of and I gave me a whole other plant..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Terrible text formatting. Cant even readTerrible text formatting. Cant even read.Version: 2.2.0
✓ What?I took a picture of my potted succulent. It noticed the table in the background and explained to me what the use of a table was... no joke. So I put a placemat behind the plant to eliminate background distractions and it registered as the pot and explained to me the use of potted plants... I tried again, this time I cut the plant pot out of the photo and just took the placemat behind the plant. It registered the quilted design of the placemat and explained what a quilt was. I’m not even joking. FINALLY I held a notebook behind the plant so it would only have a single colored background. It FINALLY registered that it was a plant but tried to tell me it was an orchid flower?.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Wrong idConfused a flowering Almond with Hall crabapple.Version: 2.2.0
✓ HikerTerrible app. Wrong more times than right!.Version: 2.2.0
✓ Common ragweedIf this app is intended for everyday gardeners ant not master gardeners please speak to us in layman’s language. I don’t need 20 Latin descriptors! I want to know if it’s a weed I should pull out, what the flowers will look like, if it’s going to overrun my garden, if it’s worth keeping etc.if this is only intended for botanical experts, please tell those of us who aren’t not to waste our time..Version: 2.2.0
✓ That was disappointingI snapped a picture of a moss of some kind. Said it was a tree. A conifer common to the western US. Okay I can see that a little bit maybe. Except I’m not in the western US and this is a bit smaller. Second snap was a bit of lichen. Said it was igneous rock. Well, maybe it was on igneous rock. Still disappointing but maybe it just doesn’t do fungi. Fine. So my third pic is a fern. Says it is a bryophyte. Not much detail plus it goes with the first pic. Fourth pic... same fern. This time it identifies... a fern. Okay. Fifth pic is a little round, pink fuzz ball of a flower on a thorny vine. It identifies a thistle native to Mediterranean countries. I’m in Alabama and I’m fairly certain this isn’t a thistle. 0 for 5 guys. Guess I’ll keep looking for the app I need..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Please just don’t bother.I had studied horticulture for four years. I majored in greenhouse management and landscape design. I know my plants. I used this to help with the identification of plants given to me and for those I’d find on hiking trails here in Pennsylvania. It’s absolute trash. Was given what I thought to be a type of orchid by a friend, used this to help with identification since the leaves were dry and browning and it had no blooms. Told me it was a “common houseplant”. Um...what? Turned out to be Nepenthes alata or a type of pitcher plant. After multiple attempts using this with my own plants that I already know the names of it was just as worse. This is just completely unreliable..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Possibly bad luck....I downloaded the iplant app to assist in identifying unknown plants and identifying the names of plants I couldn’t remember. I’ve had the app about two months and both times I’ve used it, it’s been a bust! Most recently, I photographed a neighbor’s plant. I knew what it should be, but couldn’t remember the name. I wanted a quick reference without having to search Google. The answer was a Titi Monkey! There definitely was no monkey in the bush! (My photo had excellent resolution and was by no means blurry!) So, I did my Google search for “fruits with many seeds”. Pomegranate was the plant / fruit I was searching for! Really, a Titi Monkey???!!!! Accuracy should / needs to be better! I’ll give it just one more try! Three strikes and you’re out!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Plant identificationVery inaccurate even after several photos..Version: 2.2.0
✓ SlowSlow and sometimes wrong. Otherwise good with right identified plants.Version: 2.2.0
✓ Not a very good interface faceNot a very good interface face.Version: 2.2.0
✓ Highly unreliable app!!!I wanted to identify a couple of plants that I regularly see in my jogging track. I downloaded this app for the same. However, before I used it for the purpose, I wanted to test it. So, just to check how accurate this was I tried it on the basil plant. To my utter surprise, the app told me it is Arabic jasmine!!! I wanted to give it another chance. Same plant, the best guess the app could make was “house plant” really??? My kids are eager to test it more on the plants in our backyard to see what names the SMART app is going to come up with for the ones even they can name perfectly 😃.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Has this been hacked?I don’t know what’s going on with this app but the times I’ve used it over the past month, the results have been a joke, literally. I pulled up a 8 inch tall plant with roots and leaves and took a photo against a black background hoping to get a ballpark idea of it’s ID. The app said it was a twig. I tried several times. I even changed the image a bit. Still a twig. Today I used a photo of what I’m fairly sure is a sumac sapling. It was a flower according to iplant. The image clearly shows stems with compound leaves. I’ve used the app successfully in the past but not recently..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Not specificI’ve used the app a number of times trying to identify a specific plant but all I get is generic answers for a whole species rather than the individual. Not particularly helpful..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Implant identifier.Have only just downloaded app so not sure yet. Will review again soon..Version: 1.0.0
✓ There are betterLots of ads. It’s also is very hit and miss on identifying houseplants. I would say it gets it right about half the time. I took three photos of the same plant and got three different results..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Not very reliable so far...Just downloaded the app because I’m curious about something that has appeared in my garden. Tried 5 different plants I have around the house, a total 6 pictures, and it only correctly identified 2. Tried the mystery plant in my garden, once with a leaf and once with a bud, and both were incorrectly identified as large trees. Oh well, the app was free - and it’s fun to play around with. But I still have to figure out what the heck landed in my garden!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ PlantIt’s complete crap.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Now I know - no, I don'tWas really happy to find a name for an unidentified tree in my front yard but since I hadn't heard of the name it came up with I searched Google and found my tree has MANY differences from the one this app came up with 1. Mines a tree, not a compact shrub 2. The flowers are white, not gold - clearly shown in my photo 3. I live in Zone 4 and the shrub named grows in Zones 8 to 11 4. It's not found in the US, it's from Australia. This app needs some serious tweaks, but I'll try it on a few plants that I already know to see if it does better on more common plants..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Inaccurate resultsI really was looking forward to using this app since there are a number of plants I’d like to identify in my yard and the adjacent woods. Unfortunately, while using this app first in a different location (Dutchess County, NY), I learned quickly that it was misidentifying both plants and trees. Some results gave me plants found only in Australia and Southern Asia and the southern U.S. not extending north to New York. To confirm my discovery, I took a picture of a sugar maple (actually marked as a sugar maple at my location) and this app said it was an oak. That’s when I knew this app is not at all accurate or reliable..Version: 1.0.0
✓ AmaranthusGot it wrong.Version: 2.2.0
✓ NopeTried once, large fungus it identified as “Bullrush”. Not a large sample, but 100% wrong..Version: 2.2.0
✓ TerribleTerrible app, took multiple pictures of plants and everyone has been incorrect... not even close!!! The app also incorrectly tells you that some are artificial. Would not waste your time. If it were possible I would give this app 0 out of 5 stars..Version: 1.0.0
✓ RidiculousThis app does not accurately identify plants. It told me a desert rose was a garden rose, and a potted kalanchoe was a flowerpot!! Ridiculous! 😤.Version: 1.0.0
✓ MismatchesTried five different photos of the same plant, got five different wrong mismatches..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Not a good appWe took two different photos of a flower which was rather beautiful. App told us both flowers were artificial, we were holding it in our hands and it was very real. Not impressed..Version: 1.0.0
✓ WorkedWorked on one flower, did not get full details when pop up for review came up, so cannot give a full review, hence 3 star could be more but will not know until used more, needs another button on leave review box, I.e. ask later. On checking the identification of 1st use, app got it wrong twice. Could do with a search again bit so that it does not look for same result twice..Version: 1.0.0
✓ I plantsTrees in photos are nothing like that in the app description.Version: 2.2.0
✓ Don’t waste your timeI spent 15mins trying to upload (with very good internet) and it never gave a result just went back to the main screen..Version: 1.0.0
✓ DONT BOTHER DOWNLOADING THISI love gardening but am useless with plant names other than the standard types. So thought this app would be useful. WRONG! It hasn't been able to identify even the most basic of plants. Told me a tomato plant was a cactus, a Rhubarb was 'Sugar' plus lots more basic errors. It will give a name for a plant but it's usually wrong but if you don't know the plant you assume it's given you the correct name. Try it on a few plants you're sure you know and see what it tells you. It got a ROSE correct. But if i didn't know what a rose was already I don't think I'd be any sort of gardener. Deleting the app now..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Not even closeMight work for “easy” trees but took a photo of a leaf and let it guess. The leaf has a rippled edge, so this app assumed it had pointed edges and guessed a holly tree. Nope not a holly. So I tried again, this time it picked a tree/bush that only grows in the mountains. I’m in Florida, no mountains here. It doesn’t even give other possibilities like similar apps. Just says “it’s this” and that’s the end of it. Can’t even tell it no you are wrong, look again. Have to take another picture. Weak app that needs a lot of work..Version: 1.0.0
✓ DisappointingAbsolutely wrong on all plants. I knew the plants and this app said it was something completely different even when I had amazing clear images of the plant. Very disappointing.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Need improvementThis is s nice app even though my rating is low. I would give a higher rating if some improvements where made. The biggest issue I have with it is that it usually does not show me the right plant. I normally have to take several photos before I get what I am looking for and even sometimes I never can get it before I run out of photos for the day. If it was more accurate then I would definitely give it 5 stars..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Not very accurateI have tried to use this to identify a number of plants and when I check with google they do not match. It even identified a fern as a lettuce. This app needs a lot of work.Version: 1.0.0
✓ So terrible...I’ve been looking for a reliable app that can identify plants for hiking or yard work. I tried this one because it was rated so highly. I tried 5 pictures, 4 of tomato plants that I’m growing and 1 of poison ivy. I was told the tomato was holly, fern, a greenhouse, and another plant I cannot recall. The poison ivy was identified as botany, which technically isn’t wrong. The pictures ranged from entire shot of the whole plant to boka close ups of the leaf. I wouldn’t trust this app to identify common invasive species much less as important as using it for a hiking tool..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Not confidentDown loaded the app as I had what I believed was a very flourishing actor oil plant in my garden with very small children visiting on a regular basis. To make sure I wasn’t uprooting unnecessarily I took several pictures. It gave me a different answer on each occasion which resulted in me taking it out to be safe. I’ve just taken another picture of a plant I do know the name of and the result is different. Very confused as I think it could be a really great app.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Low accuracyI was excited to try out this app. I’ve tested it about a dozen times on flowers I was already familiar with, and unfortunately it only correctly identified one (California Poppies). I was careful to get detailed shots with no background foliage. I was hoping I could use the app instead of carrying around the physical guide I have on local flowers. No dice! Hopefully the app improves, because it’s a fantastic idea, even if it doesn’t really work yet..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Not very usefulI appreciate the simplicity of the app, and that to me the ads aren’t too thick, thank you. Personally, I’d been dying to know what kind of plant was on our hands. Although it did seem to know birch trees, and identified, -um, Korean meat, it was a misclassification as my plant was clearly green, and in no way a tree. I think that this app probably does have a good database, but maybe there’s a better way that things have to be displayed that would be good to know about. I just took a pic of the plant in good lighting, but who knows. The first time, it didn’t identify it- just called my plant ‘Agriculture’- one time, it even identified it as a ‘houseplant’- and it could definitely be, but what’s the type.....Version: 1.0.0
✓ IplantOnly works with wifi most places we are visiting in the forests & bush on New Zealand don’t have reception! When it works it’s great.Version: 1.0.0
