Not to poopoo this, but there are multiple apps for this, some with master Gardeners behind them. Some that are straight up suggested by states for use, based on the input from their master Gardeners.

What makes yours different?

I have no idea what a master gardener is (a US thing I guess?) or why I would care if they endorse an app. But I have tried a couple of the top rated apps for this on Android and found them utterly terrible. I remember one result, I took a very clear photo of a bunch of bananas growing on a tree and got some kind of ferns as the answer. If this app can do better I expect there's a place in the world for it.
Try Flora Incognita.

I assume they mean "a famous gardener". Here in the UK, there are at least two household names that present gardening shows, whose endorsement on such a product would be a huge pull.
Ok, so it is a US (well, North American) thing? I stand corrected.
Thanks for your input! Yes, there are many apps out there. Originally, I made it for a friend who was paying $20/month for GPT. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
You might check out Picture This for what the master gardeners recommend. It's the one I see most people use and happily pay for.
Such as?
PictureThis is the standard and it’s pretty damn good.
Picture this. It was recommended by my state university extension. It's fantastic.
