Not sure if this will put your mind at ease or not. But I really like learning plants, I hike a lot and usually the only book I bring is a plant ID book. But I'm not good at knowing where to start looking in the book. I find apps like this (I use Seek) incredibly helpful, I don't just assume the app is correct but it gives me a place to start looking in the book. That said, I also don't assume I'm correct when I find what I think it is in the book. Anyway just wanted to say I find plant I'd apps a helpful learning tool.

I will say though, most of the time I don't have service where I'm IDing plants, so it's not the most convenient tool.
