The premise
One photo. One name. Done.
No subscription. No login wall. No newsletter pop-up the moment you arrive. Just open the app, point the camera at a plant, and find out what it is. That's the whole loop.

species covered
Flowering plants, trees, shrubs, succulents, herbs, fungi, and ferns. When something is outside the training set, the app says so.
Spot trouble
Brown tips, pale leaves, leggy stems. Pocket Botanist flags likely causes and suggests the smallest correction.
Keep a quiet log
Recent lookups are kept for you automatically. Save the ones you want to a free account and they gain notes, dates, and gentle reminders to water them.
