Plant Identifier & Care App, branded as PlantCare in its listing and privacy policy, combines a plant catalog with AI photo analysis and basic care planning. Users can photograph or choose an image to identify a plant, browse a catalog of 350 plants, record watering and fertilizing, and set reminders around a plant's light, location, pot, humidity, and other growing conditions. A photo diagnosis can suggest possible causes of issues such as yellow leaves or slow growth, and the app keeps care and diagnosis history. The first identification and first diagnosis are free; subscriptions increase AI-analysis allowances and unlock additional garden tools. Saved plant data works offline, but identification and diagnosis require an internet connection. The developer's privacy policy says photos are sent to its server and forwarded to OpenAI for analysis, then processed in memory rather than stored permanently; it also describes anonymous device and usage data. This differs from the App Store privacy label, which says no data is collected, and Apple has not verified the label. The US App Store lists $3.99 weekly, $5.99 monthly, or $34.99 yearly. The listing requires iOS 16.0 or later and currently supports English. Identification and care advice are estimates, not a substitute for an experienced horticulturist or pest specialist.
