Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Not much in this app

    By bluetooth fail (Pcmac user)

    I don't know if I had lofty expectations for $1.99, but for a paid app, I think I would get a little more content. Pros- The app is simple and the pictures are nice and would be helpful in identifying plants when out and about. Cons- The map feature appears to be useless. There was absolutely no content on it. I could not add my own markers on the map or anything. Also, a picture browser was missing. Maybe I don't know the name of a plant in my yard, but want to check if it is edible? I have to read every plants description individually. Lame. I would suggest the developers allow users to plot found edibles on the map, and also contribute to the content ala Wikipedia . This could be a cool app, but it let me down a little. This is the first review I have ever felt compelled to write
  • Mushrooms?

    By LocalForager (Pcmac user)

    Beautiful photos. They thought to include both leaf and flower. Only has about 30 plants and missing what I this app for most - mushrooms. There is a search but terms don't seem to match what I'm looking for and not enough plants to be helpful. Needs "not to be confused with" info because many plants look like others that are not edible.
  • This is a neat app with potential.

    By Drawtaru (Pcmac user)

    The only improvements I can think of, besides adding more plants, would be implementing a way to search by region, or by plant features (leaf shape, number of flower petals, etc). I will definitely be sharing this with my foraging friends!
