I tested Plant Identification Apps so you don't have to!

I tested the top 7 Plant ID apps by running 234 different images through them and recording the results. I will share my findings with you here.

As I stated in the video - as impressive as these plant ID apps are, they should not be used to determine whether a plant is safe to eat, or something similar. Do your own research, and don't forage plants in the wild unless you are competent and have been trained.

    Thank you for getting straight to the point, and not dragging the video out like most YouTubers!!!
  • Wow I could only imagine that uploading each 234 pictures into each app and recording the results took... actual days worth of time and attention. Great stuff! I'm somewhat surprised how well Lens did, because I have a Google phone and use Lens for a lot, but I have found it to be somewhat poor at plant ID, or at least the stuff I normally try to ID here in North Georgia. Maybe I'm just not taking great photos, or of the most identifiable parts.

    Wow! I can’t imagine how long this took to do this! Thank you so much!!
  • This is fantastic research for the community. Also, "you are responsible for your own actions" is something I think the world needs to hear more of.
  • Thanks for getting right to the results first and then going into more details. I have the one and just got the other. I subbed and belled because you gave us the results right away and that is appreciated.
  • @jon.554
    Thanks! Appreciate getting the results first. So impressed, I actually stayed for the whole thing!
  • This is wonderful. Im sharing it with our volunteers who rely on these apps for plant I D in the field!!
  • The "ProjectFarm" of plant-id-apps.. love you diving into the per-category information. Thank you!
  • @lar113
    Thank you for this info. It confirms what I thought about the app on my phone, in a negative way. I will give the two Apps you suggest a try.
  • Picture this was recommended to me by Joey Santore, I knew it would be #1
  • Thank you for getting to the point. 🎉 I use Picture This. Very pleased with it overall. And you’re right…do your own research to confirm. It’s not always correct but is a great starting point. 🍃 🌿
  • I’ve used Picture this for a few years now. Frequently use the plant diagnostics. Thank you for the wonderful video great work😊🌿☮️

    You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you. 🌼🌱🌿🎋🌸🌾
  • Thanks for a great video! I have several ID Apps on my phone and always use 2 or 3 to check against each other and then, if I plan to eat it, us this info to find the plant in 2 or 3 of my foraging books, just to be on the safe side.
  • The best is a lot less than I would like. Thank you for doing this.
  • Thank you for all of the time you took to test and put this together. I can't imagine the amount of coffee it would take. Thanks Joe.
