Disappointing

Pics are missing of some plants, some very basic plants are left out. Has a sync option that to this day never syncs or updates anything. Disappointing, would love a refund.

Field ID

Excellent source of information and useful tips. If it had pictures for field ID it would be perfect.

Photos dont work

The photos used to work but after the last update they dont work now. It tells me to sync to see photos and I did. But still dont see photos. If your looking to buy this u would wait till the photos are working again.

Disappointing!!!! Pictures of some plants not available!! Like poison ivy?!? Whats with that?! Wished Id read reviews before I purchased!! Would like refund!

Broken App

Apparently the person is to busy to take care of the problems I am having with the app icon showing a "5" with no reason and no back arrow. Ive re installed this twice from the app store with no luck. There are to many good apps with good support to not mess with something that doesnt work or is poorly supported.

Useful

Good database with lots of information.

Very informational

I have to say this is one of the best apps Ive spent money on. Good price and just about everything you need to know about herbs. I love the shortcut to the Wikipedia page too. The only thing that needs improved is the lack of photos, something very easy to do so I hope it gets updated soon.

well...

this app has real potential, but the recent lack of updates has left me feeling disappointed.

Good stuff.

There should be a section that tells you where to find the plan to.

Too much picture in the reading space

I really liked the app before this new update. My problem with it is the picture takes up the reading space in the herb description. The way it was before, was perfect, where you could show the picture of the herb when you wanted to. I re-loaded the older version.

Problem with app

I cant update because I keep getting application not compatible software update description. What the heck is that???

love the photos...

great photos. im a novice at knowing plants and this will do just the trick at helping me identify plants while on backpacking trips. strongly suggest this for fellow scout leaders or anyone that goes into the outdoors regularly.

Fantastic Update

Love the updates. And the new content really makes things easier. We use it with our scouts to identify local plants and the browse by picture view is a great way to look for your plant.

Great App

Been looking for a app to help identify plants and give feed back on them. Greay way to purchase plants that are native to the area.

LOVE THIS APP!!! Its easy to navigate, the pictures are awesome and the information is great! So very cool!

Used to love it

Still like it but the info on using an herb as a tea, tincture, etc., is gone. That was the best part!! Grrr

Info is good but...

There is no way to search when I find a plant in the wild and want to identify it. There is no range map to show where plant grows. There needs to be a search engine that includes: range, plant height, leaf arrangement, flower shape and number of petals, family of plants, ecosystem in which we find the plant (riparian, plains, forest, etc), elevation where it grows, etc. also, some of the photos are nearly impossible to identify the plant from. If you can positively identify the plant using another guide, then this app will be useful to decide how to use the plant. Theres potential here but the app still needs some development.

Not very useful

I was hoping that I would be able to look up native plants for my area so I could identify them. Considering the price I expected more than a simple list with photos of the plants. Disappointed.

Useful and portable

Im finding this app plenty useful when Im out and around - for hiking, casual look-ups, any time I want a plant ID and use reference and dont have a stack of books along. Mars is an expert and well-respected teacher of herbal lore and her information on medicinal use is excellent. I wish all the apps Ive grabbed were this good.

Almost worthless

Horrible app. The pictures used to identify the plants are fuzzy and often taken from such a distance that you cant make out the detail of the plants or so close-up that you only see a leaf or two or a flower. Neither is helpful for identification. The only way to identify the plants is through the pictures, so unless you already know the name of the plant, you end up looking through hundreds of poor quality photos hoping to find the plant in question.
