Ratings and reviews

It's so bad. It's so hilariously bad. Ignoring the fact Picture This does everything this app does but with accuracy and far more speed I'll go through my experience. I gave it a photo of moth vine, it thought it was an apple tree, it asked me to to download two extra things on start up that Picture This doesn't require you to do, and when I tried giving it a location it wouldn't let me due to a bug. Congratulations, I'm actually pro privatization on this one. Gave it another go and it crashed.

Love the idea, but this app is REALLY BAD at identifying weeds. With the CSIRO's involvement and apparently extensive field testing, I'm very surprised. I hope it gets improved to the point that it actually becomes useful.

The photo it takes is glitched and so won't do an ID. It's basically a multicoloured bar code. My mates phone it works well but not mine (Samsung s22)
