Does anyone use a specific phone app to identify certain plants or trees and if so what do you recommend?

If you have an iPhone it does it natively.

Could you explain how that feature works, please?

Take a picture on iPhone. Open picture and click the icon in the middle that looks like an i with two stars.

Interesting. I have an iPhone 12 max. I don’t have that capability in photos. Just tried and there’s nothing that indicates the species of tree/foliage I’ve photographed.

Edit: actually, it works, but only on certain plant photos I have.

Thanks for the info.

PlantNet has worked really well for me.

“Picture This” is a free app I downloaded to an iPhone. When opened just remember to cancel the recommendation for a paid upgrade to the app, then take a photo of your plant by pressing on the camera icon as you would on an iPhone. It scans the plant and returns its findings with photos and descriptions and related plants to the subject.

Unless Picture This has gotten better over the last year, it’s a lot more miss than hit for me. I have the free version and I always assumed that they wanted me to upgrade and that’s why it kinda sucked.

I use iNaturalist. Works well for plants and critters.

I'm a landscape architect and tried out several of the apps a year ago. I tested on 5 easy plants to ID and 5 that are obscure and difficult to ID. Most apps are 50% at best. Plantnet was the best at about 75% so that's what I recommend with the understanding it may be wrong.
