Has anyone tried using the flowerchecker.com app to identify plants? My husband came across it on a computing website and thought it might be of use. Apparently a team of real people look at your photos to identify your plants.

Personally I avoid, like the veritable plague, anything described as an 'app' whatever it might be ::)

The SRGC Forum works quite well, and there can hardly be anywhere on the web with connections to so many knowledgeable plants-people and botanists!  :)

Just had a look at the flowerchecker website & they charge $1 for each plant I/D.
I bet SRGC forum members can do a better job.
