I decided to try this app today and when I opened it all I had to do was to snap a shot and it identified the plant very accurately. I was able to add all plants to My Plants section however, when I went to open it again later, the whole home page had changed and my list was gone and so was the My Plants section at the bottom. I tried taking a pic again and this time it became a four-step process having to pic Family or Genus etc. don’t know why it changed but I wouldn’t pass this app on to anyone based on my experience.

Writing this to help development. I’ve used this app a few years but haven’t used in last 6 months months or so until recently. It used to be extremely accurate in id’ing my pics with a plant - I’m not looking up any unusual plants, I just forget the names of common plants. however the past few times ( in the last month or two), the app does not come close to identifying a match. It seems to be related to a change to this auto flora filter that wasn’t there before but I really don’t know. I’ve noticed when I expanded outside the US flora it found my plant last time. Which is odd considering I’m in the US! But in any case, something has changed that is impacting accuracy that I’ve not experienced in the past. Maybe it’s just dumb luck ( or unluck) but it may be worth the feedback.

I don’t know whether to believe the results I’m getting from this app. I found pictures of my ice plant but they called it a Hottentot Fig! Figs, really? Then I found pictures of a cactus I have which it called Long Spine Cactus...but it has almost no spines, certainly not long ones. And mixed in with those photos was one of a prickly pear...a very different shape! So if the app allows users to misidentify a plant but still upload their photo (into the wrong place), isn’t that just going to cause chaos & confusion?
