I didn't really get to use the app at all, so I can't speak to how it works. I installed it, created an account, and then realized it was subscription based. There is a free version, but all you can do is manually add plants and then get a watering schedule. Sure, I can use Google lens to identify the plant for free, but that seems unnecessary. This app is too expensive for any of the time frames you can choose, in my opinion.
