Leafsnap App Reviews

Tried with just common houseplants, it presents about 10 incorrect guesses. Great. Thanks, try again.

After updating the app I get upload errors after I take a picture.

The snap it part is taking a really long time, I waited 20 mins for one leaf and it still continued to load either than that its a good app

A clever idea, but I tried it on several common leaves and it couldnt figure them out. Couldnt get it to successfully identify on all my attempts. Even with a white sheet of paper behind the leaf, it says it needs white paper sometimes. Has potential, but is just in experimental phase for now.

Awesome idea.....but it does not work.....snapped a picture, and it says its uploading the image.....waited 1/2 hour and it was still uploading it.......deleted the app!

Extremely well built app & concept. Download to support them in building more capacity. Their back-end servers are flooded though so dont expect it to work.

Cant upload picture. Says cant poll server?!?

Never works. Always says too busy.

Allowed upload to run on LTE for 10 minutes and then gave up.

We live in the Canadian prairies and this app seems accurate for our location. Interesting information about our trees. Havent had trouble with the app.

Cannot even upload a pic in reasonable time on iPhone 5s. Go back to work.

This App has several problems: 1) you have to pay to get it, but its clearly an omitted information when you find it on the App Store and click on it to get it; 2) its pretty slow and the recognition doesnt work if you dont put the leaf over a white surface; 3) the recognition database is too small! Not worth buying!

Never get results, just spins and spins and spins. No error message, and no results.

Very difficult to use in the field because the leaf must be on a white background

I want to identify while Im hiking I dont carry a black background with me nor do I want to pluck the plant and take it home.

Downloaded the app today. I was very excited about as I am a beginner herbalist and enjoy wild crafting. I took multiple pictures to identify with a white background as the app suggests. Needless to say I just deleted the app. Great idea but quirky I suppose.

Tried several times to upload photo and got server error. Useless.

Pick a leaf off a tree. Put it flat in perfect lighting (artificial lights) on a white background. Now upload the image to servers and...90 pct of the time the app still cant ID. This app is completely useless other than as a novelty.

In terms of what this app does, its a great tool to determine the species of a plant and use that information further; HOWEVER, youd better hope you ate your lucky charms today or else this app will let you down, whether it be constant crashes or server errors.

Has never worked for me. Always a submission error.
