Features of PictureThis:

Better than experts: This application is so powerful that we cannot compare it with any expert because the application’s recognition is sometimes better than an expert on plants.

Personalized care: This application not only has the function of giving users the basic information they need to know about the type of plant they are curious about, but it also gives them knowledge in taking care of that plant.

Helpful reminders: In addition, the application can also give users notifications about watering plants or necessary activities to help plants grow well. This will be done if the user sets up the schedule that the application sent them previously.

Sunlight tracking: There is a feature of this application that even I find very surprising when it can measure the change in sunlight and evaluate whether it is good for your plants or not.

Instant identification: The power of this application is demonstrated by the way it can distinguish more than 1 million different types of plants and its accuracy is also extremely high up to 98%.

Arguably the best plant app on the App Store and I have downloaded them all!! So I canconfidently say don't bother with any other app because this by far exceeds all theothers !!! :) Buuuuuut.. with the exception and the only reason i couldn't give 5 stars, isthe fact your premium subscription can only be paid in a yearly amount (instead ofhaving an option of paying it in equal monthly smaller amounts). Also the fact that youhave made some of the features that were previously available on the free membershipnow only accessible on the premium version which I am hugely disappointed by :(I lovethe app and use it most days every week! I bought the yearly membership when I firstdownloaded and I wish I could renew it but financially as a broke student unfortunatelydon't have the money to pay for another full year subscription atm. I have recommendedthis app to my friends and family, who have downloaded it and use it now too! Very happyand love the app as well!

I wasn't lucky to inherit the natural green thumb of my grandmother and mother.... I relyon plants to boost my mood daily and enrich my sanctuary... But I have lost countlessplants that came to me healthy and flourishing.My abilities include drying, drowning andneglecting to the point of no return. I have countless black pots scattered around myhome, with no green in sight just hoping that one day I'll see new growth.... It takes memonths to accept I successfully killed another plant before I recycle the soil andpot.Three weeks on to having this app, I've rescued several plants who are alreadythriving by providing the basic of care that takes no time out of my intense schedule atall just the correct amount of sunlight, watering times and home made anti fungal care.It couldn't have been easier thanks to this app.And although I'lI never absorb all of theirnames, I know I can rely on this app to identify and provide the right care advice for the100's of different plants around me.This app is genius, reliable and worth farmore thanthe small investment I made. My favourite app I have ever had.Thank you!!

FAQs of PictureThis:

One of the identifications is not accurate, what should I do?

Since the app relies on a single picture to identify, sometimes changing the angle or distance a bit can help and please make sure the camera is focused on the species you want to identify. If you do know the correct name, you could correct the identification on the result page. After taking or uploading a picture, please scroll to the end, then tap “Change the result” (in our latest version) to input the name manually. If you don’t know the name, please feel free to contact our human experts to identify.

How do I delete unwanted pictures from the app?

You can tap the 3-dots button on the top right of the picture and select “Delete” to remove the picture you do not want.

Does PictureThis only accept newly-taken pictures or can I select pictures from my album?

Both ways work on PictureThis. You can either take a new picture of the plant you just met or choose one that you saved in your mobile device gallery. On the shooting page, tap the Camera icon to take a new picture with your camera or tap ''AIbum'' at the bottom left of the screen to select a picture from your album gallery.

Can I get related information of the plant (e.g. edibility, toxicity)?

You will see this information on the identification result page. Since edibility/toxicity of plants is directly related to people’s health, we don’t suggest you taste any unfamiliar plants without professional help around. Safety is a matter of prime importance. Such info will gradually be added after strict audit.

How do I share my identification with friends?

I’m glad to hear that you’d like to share the information with your friends. To do so, here are instructions: 1. Launch the app>Go to Me section 2. Tap the plant picture you’d like to share 3. Tap “Share” button at the bottom 4. Select a channel to export the information out

Can I use PictureThis offline?

Since PictureThis runs on a big plant database, the identification process requires a network connection. When offline, the photos taken with PictureThis will be saved automatically to the Me section and will be identified once you are back online. An alternative is to take photos offline with your phone's camera roll and upload the photos to identify when the connection is back.
