LeafSnap-Plant Identification Reviews

by 2hope4

I’ve been using the free version of LeafSnapPlantIdentification to identify flowers and leaves while hiking with my kids and love it. We enjoyed being able to look back at the photo gallery to check the name of the plants we identified on prior hikes. However, with the new update, I can not access my photo gallery. Now I can not access any of the plants I’ve collected photos of unless I pay a monthly fee. Paying a monthly fee is not an option. I am disappointed!

The second time it asked for credit card information which it said was for verification and targeted ad use only and that I would be charged nothing. After entering info, it then said in small print that I was automatically entered into a for pay targeted advertising program that if not canceled would end up costing a lot of money. Instead of figuring out how to cancel their program, I just paid the balance on my card and reported it lost. I don’t mind paying for good apps, but fraud and charging for unrelated and unwanted crap is wrong and criminal.

I bought the less expensive version so I expected the nuisance ads. However, the game ads pop up with a very small x in the upper right top of screen that doesn’t work to close. At least the Facebook stuff lets you close their ad. Please fix or get rid of the game ads. Have to force quit to get rid of the game ads. If this can’t be fixed I will uninstall and don’t recommend anyone use the ad version. The identification works relatively well. I have a degree in wildlife biology an have studied plant taxonomy so I have more knowledge to fall back on than the casual user.

Looks like this is a very well-regarded app and I will probably give it a rating higher than two stars... but how about letting me try it first? I downloaded it and I am attempting to put it through its paces.... but screens keep popping up asking me to rate it, to download google (again? I already have it), to re-enable my mail program (google mail already works fine, thanks for asking) so finally I got tired of all the interruptions and decided you were right, I should just go ahead and rate it now. This is the result: 2 stars. But I will revise if warranted... once I am left alone long enough to actually give it a run-through.

Any time I try to read more about a plant, the ad will show and then LeafSnapPlantIdentification will crash bringing me back to my phone screen. If I click on LeafSnapPlantIdentification that is still open, it brings me back to the home screen to take a photo or upload. I was only able to get it to work a few times after downloading it and the crashing continues. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn’t help either.

LeafSnapPlantIdentification works intermittently. Sometimes it’s relatively quick and sometimes it takes so long to process a person gets tired of waiting. I’m talking waiting 5-10 minutes. As far as accuracy, you have to have a little knowledge of the plants you are looking at. It brings up 3-4 choices and if you have no idea at all what you are looking at, you can get incorrect information.

LeafSnapPlantIdentification is pretty good at identifying the plants you want to learn about and I understand there are advertisers who are supporting the free aspect of this service but lately the 5-second ad has been followed by a quite long video which cannot be skipped (in spite of the “skip video” button, which actually doesn’t work). Good app, too frustrating to use very often

I looked for 2 hours on various websites and tools but could not for the life of me find the name of one of my plants. I want to be able to take care of my plants properly- but you need to know the name in order to do so. LeafSnapPlantIdentification found my plant in about 2 seconds and I was so excited. For fun I just started snapping all my other plants too. A suggestion I would add is to add a section where it has basic care/ needs (like sunlight amounts, water preferences, preferred temperatures, etc) I 100% recommend LeafSnapPlantIdentification!!

I have never been up to date with watering my plants and I like reminders and adding new plants. Speaking of which, I feel LeafSnapPlantIdentification can include a feature of search bar when you want to add a new plant.
I had lemon grass and I knew the botanical name, but I clicked the image of the leaf, the botanical name or regular name did not come up leading to an incorrect identification of the plant.
So if they had a search bar I could just type in, add a picture of the plant and go from there. Also I had requested to add a new plant about a month ago and I didn’t hear from the team.
Hence I said it is good, but it could be better. All things considered it is still free and doesn’t bug you to buy the premium feature.

Absolutely love LeafSnapPlantIdentification and I use it to identify any odd plants that I find and like. It's really useful so I can get more information on my reference plants for my artwork. Definitely recommend getting it and the subscription. Also gives information on how to raise and take care of the plants you identify. Very interesting, but I don't use that function too often since I'm horrible at keeping plants alive (I've killed mint before..).

Since I'm not the most knowledgeable gardener, I use LeafSnapPlantIdentification to tell me if I'm pulling weeds or not. It has also taught me a plethora of care information that I never knew about my house plants. My plants are so healthy now. At first I thought LeafSnapPlantIdentification was very pricey, but it's worth ever penny to me now.

I work as a commercial landscaper, and LeafSnapPlantIdentification is absolutely amazing. I've been using it for almost a year now, and not once has it ever let me down. I would strongly recommend it if you need help identifying any kind of greenery. Flowers, shrubs, trees, weeds, and even grass types. It's incredible.

I don't usually do app reviews. But I have to. LeafSnapPlantIdentification is beyond extraordinary! Everyone needs LeafSnapPlantIdentification. Especially if you enjoy plants, planting, learning about plants. They've obviously worked really hard on LeafSnapPlantIdentification and I have to say it's my favorite app.

Had a mystery plant that a squirrel “planted” for me. I took a few pictures and downloaded LeafSnapPlantIdentification. Once I uploaded one of the photos it returned an answer immediately and now I know I’ve got a walnut tree! Now I’m going to take pictures when I walk my dog so I can figure out what other pants are called. I’m stoked.

I initially gave a one star, because I could not get app to work, and kept getting “Forbidden” error message when trying to analyze tree leaves.

Eventually I found a way to send a message to the developers, who immediately responded, that there was a pending update that would resolve my issue. The next morning, I got another reply, indicating the update was approved, and to update LeafSnapPlantIdentification and try again.

This time, everything sailed thru as expected.

Version 2.6 fixed the issue. Thank you customer service for your quick response!

I recently moved into a house that has not had any landscaping done for about five years.
Through using LeafSnapPlantIdentification I found multiple plants that looked like they were just stuck within a bunch of other weeds and they ended up being great plants and trees.
LeafSnapPlantIdentification helped me tremendously to identify them without having to Google all day long over one plant thank you to the creator! 😊👍👍👍

I enjoy this with every inch and ounce 100% because it shows me what I can and can't do with all the medicinal purposes of these plants. I love and enjoy all the healing properties of the plant and this helps me to learn more about it for I am on the path of mastering horticulture period signing up for school in the spring hopefully if not by the latest summer. Thanks again Godspeed

I work at a greenhouse with hundreds of different plants and this is a HUGE help. I have struggled so much with remembering everything and this has saved me. It is so specific to every plant or flower I have taken a picture of and they have all been identified. It is amazing!!! The only thing I wish was added was care for the plant and type of light each one takes but other then that it’s amazing.

by Treylen Paweleczy

First time iv ever left a review on an app before. I love LeafSnapPlantIdentification I think it's very well set up and organized and is exactly what I was looking for. I always see plants I don't know how to look up but want to know what it is and this is working perfectly!! It works on dried or dead flowers as well and tells you how to help if they are dying. 10/10

by Laverda Truckettym

We just moved & I've been able to identify half of our acrage already & learning of everything thats been planted on the property. Would like it to give us a bit more information but for now I can find what i need one. And I love that it tells you if the plant is healthy or not & what the issue is. I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys gardening

Downloaded it and follows the prompts by taking and uploading a picture. LeafSnapPlantIdentification appeared to be uploading the picture and then an ad popped up and wouldn’t allow me to proceed unless I clicked on the button to visit the ad website. Immediately deleted LeafSnapPlantIdentification and won’t be downloading again.

LeafSnapPlantIdentification allows for easy identification of plants. However, each time I change pages LeafSnapPlantIdentification shuts down. I use Apple products and all have recent updates installed.

by DonInMO

Too often I cannot get past the ads. The ads don’t bother me at all, but too often the count down to close it does not run. Or when it does, you can’t close it. The close button does not work. But it’s awesome when it works. Which is less than 50% of the time.

by Everynameistakenwow

I’ve only been able to identify one plant. All the others take so long that I have to keep reloading the image over and over. Not worth the time

by Eric Dallas

You should have the option to use your location, so it would not offer results that do not grow in your area.

Handy little product! Gets it right most of the time!

by Brazilreutters

Started talking with guard in park and wanted to know identities of some of the trees. She knew all but one and said she had looked in several books and couldn’t find it. I took a picture and tried a few other apps but this one helped us find the identity!!

by Cdb1949

I am always outside finding strange ‘weeds’ or plants or trees not knowing if they are to keep or pull/dig up. Leaf Snap is the best app I have found that tells me what I need to know.
Highly recommend

by Turtle Cole

Absolutely love LeafSnapPlantIdentification. We bought some property and knew little about. This spring we didn’t know what a some of our trees were. LeafSnap is so easy to use. And identified our trees.

by Srod7115

Thank you, I had so many plants that I did not know what they were. App makes it easy to research and find care info via Google or Wikipedia or other sites. AMAZING!!!

by ScubaSandy68

I just downloaded LeafSnapPlantIdentification and played around a little. So far 2 thumbs up. It’s free and identified my plants spot on. Nice work !!

by Ulysses41

I am good at identifying birds, but always found trees and plants so difficult. LeafSnapPlantIdentification has changed all that. Take a photo of the leaf or flower and you have great information, including the common name, quickly. I love LeafSnapPlantIdentification.
