Too much for too little The interface of this app is good but it is way too expensive for being incomplete. The reason I purchased this app was to identify plants but pictures are missing for half the database. Should be an easy fix to add the missing pics if the developer would spend the time and they should for a $5 app. If they ever update to have pics of everythingthis app will go from worthy of 1star to 5 stars. As incomplete as it is it should be a free beta version. Then it would be worthy of some love

Has bugs. A lot of the cacti and succulent plants are entered as shade plants. Wish there were more images.

Just sends you to wikipedia!! No search facility, hardly any pics and just sends you to wiki every time. Total waste of money! Very annoyed....

Much false info on light requirements and needs to give height and width of plants in preferences. Sorry I purchased this app. Needs serious update.
