User Reviews
I frequently use this to help with identifications and the numerous great recipes!
Very helpful for wild foraging, helps to identify edible and toxic plants 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I’m confused why poison ivy is color coded in green and not red when it’s poisonous? 🤷🏻♀️
The app says there’s a place to write field notes but that’s not true. There’s also no way to bookmark any plants you’ve found to quickly access them later. I was hoping I could use this for items I forage frequently for a quick double-check but the list is also missing some very common plants. It’s unfortunately not very useful. This app could be really great but it really falls short on a lot of simple things.
Wish it had a widget for my phone
This is one of my favorite apps. I’ve used it countless times and have had no technical issues with it. It has over 250 plants, but I wish it had more.
The app has a section that says there is an offline download available but There is no way to download the app contents for offline use. Other than this the app is good.
I was really looking forward to using this app but it’s nearly unusable. Content seem to be pretty good if I could ever get to it reliably. Hoping I can get my money back at this point or maybe 9/10th of my money. Possibly the most disappointing app purchase ever.
I actually really enjoy the app so far and have been excited to get into foraging, as it’s something I’ve been meaning to do for awhile. I’ve noticed though that sometimes when I open the app it just opens up to a blank page and I can’t do anything with it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it worked for bit but now it’s doing it again.
This is amazing. I’ve always loved this app. I have had it for years but sadly watched it slowly stop working as no new updates were made. Steve Brill and crew are finally back, baby! A working app with the most in depth details about this stuff you will find anywhere.
