Best Flower & Plant Identifier Apps for Your Smartphone

 

PlantNet

Developed by scientists, PlantNet uses visual recognition computer software to identify plants in photos. Just snap a picture of any plant or flower and you will get it identified immediately. PlantNet also calls itself a citizen science project due to the fact that all the plants and flower pictures are collected and studied by scientists around the world in order to better understand plant biodiversity and preservation. Besides plants, this free app also identifies trees, flowers, grasses, ferns, vines, and cacti.

 

PictureThis

Snap a picture of a flower, plant, leaf, stem, or berry and PictureThis will give you identification. Simple to use, this app uses artificial intelligence to scan your picture and provide an ID. Results also include detailed information on each flower and plant species. Additionally, PictureThis identifies plant diseases and gives tips on growing, pest control, and more. After a 7-day free trial, there is a charge for this subscription-based app.

 

What’s That Flower?

A popular app that identifies flowers and plants, What’s That Flower doesn’t take photo submissions, rather it provides results based on questions you answer on the flower you want to be identified. You start by picking the flower’s color, then its habitat, and the number of petals. Then, the app will show you several images matching your description along with detailed information about each one. This is a good app for finding out the name of a flower you only know by memory. What’s That Flower is a free app with ads or, for a small price, an ad-free premium version is available.
