Ratings and Reviews
Good library, hard to access
It's a good library. However, it's hard to access the library unless user spells the exact correct name only to see that particular genus; sequential swipes take forever to reach to the genus after the A alphabet. Pictures are small. A little lighter color for the Water Use, Aspect, Spread, Height banner at the bottom can help with visual clarity.
Not User Freindly
Not nearly as user friendly as the similarly named app "iBird Pro." The "Common Name" field does not do an adequate search. If you do not already know the botanical name of the plant, you are unlikely to find it in the database. Hopefully, this app will continue to update and improve. Otherwise, I do not recommend it for the common gardener. A Google search is much easier.
