Is anyone else using this?
I'm kind of testing it out and it did correctly identify sweet chestnuts and horse chestnuts, poison oak, fruiting dogwood, and mahonia.

When I tried one of the plants we often call Queen Anne's Lace it came up with a lot of variations (I wasn't sure myself what it was - wild carrot? Cow parsley? Hemlock?)

It works best for me if I take the photo then wait till I'm home and add it to the app while I have wifi - even with full bars of cell service, the app is slow.

Anyhow, educational and fun! I was able to identify a mountain magnolia today :)

I belong to the "Plant Identification" Facebook group. I can usually get an ID within minutes of uploading a photo.

I have used the image feature of Garden Answers. Sometimes it works well sometimes it doesn’t. I’ve only used it a few times.
