PlantNet for iOS

PlantNet is an educational software application designed for plant identification through mobile photography. Users can take a simple snapshot of any plant to receive information about its species, characteristics, and habitat. The app boasts a user-friendly interface that allows for quick identification and access to a wealth of botanical knowledge. Users can filter recognized species by genus or family, making it easier to navigate through various plants. Furthermore, the application supports multi-flora identification, which enhances the search capabilities beyond selected categories, allowing users to explore a broader range of flora.

Since its launch, PlantNet has seen several updates that have introduced new features to improve user experience. The app encourages users to contribute to a citizen science project, where photographs of plants are collected and analyzed by scientists worldwide, aiding in the study of plant biodiversity. Although PlantNet can identify around 20,000 species, which is fewer than some competitors, it remains entirely free to use, making it an accessible tool for anyone interested in botany.
