PlantNet

"PlantNet"
"Works really well."
"It's unnervingly accurate."
"PlantNet"
"PlantNet is my favourite. It doesn't just say 'It's this one!', but gives a few options and shows the confidence level."
"I use plantnet but I will say a lot of plants are toxic so its probably easier to learn which aren't"
"PlantNet can be a good option for identifying plants with images."
"It identifies about 80% of the plants I snap pictures of."
"Pl@ntnet isn't very good."

PictureThis

"It's free and has been accurate every time so far."
"It’s the most accurate one I’ve found, plus gives lots of other information too."
"PictureThis is the most accurate one for identifications and worth paying for."
"Picture This stores what you have searched for so long and gives a decent amount of information of each plant."
"Easy to use, just press back to exit the payment screen."
"Keeps encouraging me to pay otherwise I’ll lose my previous searches but I don’t really mind that."
"It does a pretty good job at identifying plants, although not 100% accurate."
"It's not free at all, some features are paid, but it allows you to identify plants for free."

iNaturalist

"INaturalist works seamlessly on both Android and iPhone, making it easy to identify plants, animals, and fungi."
"Good for identification but you are also contributing to global logging of species."
"Best by far!"
"INaturalist is the best in my opinion, it does so much more than just ID plants."
"Seek by iNaturalist is good IMO. It's not only UK plants, but has worked well enough for me."
"Both iNaturalist and PlantNet are consistently pretty good."
"It’s not perfect, but it is pretty good."

Flora Incognita

"The app correctly identified 95+% of plants tried, but had issues with one tree."
"Seems accurate, sometimes asks for photos of leaves, bark, stems etc to narrow down possibilities. It's user friendly."
