Great accurate App! I decided to test each app with plants I already own and know for sure what they are. One app after another ID'd every single plant wrongly, sometimes to a ridiculous level. I was gonna give up and then tried this one. Every single one of my known plants was identified correctly immediately!
For images with a high PlantNet “classification score”, identification accuracy to family and genus were both >85% while species level identification reached ca 70% accuracy. Where a single plant was the focus of the image, rather than being part of a more complex image, identification accuracy was greatly improved.
PictureThis. PictureThis, which was developed by botanists and gardeners, has a 98 percent accuracy in identifying plants, says Langelo. "It identifies 17,000 local species and 400,000 from around the globe," she says.
Although it doesn't offer as seamless a sharing experience as iNaturalist or as much plant background information as some of the other apps we tested, PlantNet provides quick, easy identifications that our testers found to be consistently accurate.
Sixty percent of the time, PlantNet returned the correct species ID as the first result. Twelve percent of the time, the correct species was identified as the second result. Thirteen percent of the time, the correct species was the third hit or lower, and 15% of the time the correct species was not identified at all.
Google Lens. Google Lens is a great app for identifying weeds. The app uses your camera to identify objects, plants, animals and more. It can also help you find information about the object you're looking at.
Although it depends on plant type and it's requirements, for overall plant care, the best plant care app is Planta.
Overall a kickass app. And it's free!
Cons: The site is missing opportunities for teens to use the data they collect to see the importance of biodiversity.

What is Google Lens? Google Lens is a set of vision-based computing capabilities that can understand what you're looking at and use that information to copy or translate text, identify plants and animals, explore locales or menus, discover products, find visually similar images, and take other useful actions.
iNaturalist is free for anyone to use thanks to the generous support of many organizations and individuals.
The true average accuracy of the iNaturalist Research Grade observation dataset is somewhere from 0% to 3% higher than our estimates because of this bias which is on par with the uncertainty interval resulting from sample size.
The iNaturalist app is a must-have for wildlife enthusiasts exploring remote and wild locations with unreliable network connectivity. With its offline functionality, you can capture sightings, take photos, and record observations without needing immediate access to the internet.
After testing each App with 234 images, PictureThis was the best plant identification app with correct identifications 78% of the time, and Plant.net was the second best plant identification app, being correct 68% of the time.
One of the best Apps
Pl@ntnet is a very well run site. The team behind the mobile App are particularly helpful and responsive. There appears to be a considerable cohort of botanists, academics, horticulturists and enthusiasts who provide feedback to those who post.
This project launched in 2009 has been developed by scientists (computer engineers and botanists) from a consortium gathering French research institutes (Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD), Centre de coopération internationale en recherche agronomique pour le développement (CIRAD), Institut national de ...
