I ve done the image search online Wikipedia and the like but here it is all in one place Now if I understood some of the terminology better had to look up petiole ochrea the search function would probably cut my selection down to just a few as there are 16 different characteristics to identify your weeds by And when you open each file there is more than one picture showing different stages in the weeds life cycle along with more information about the weed than you probably wanted to know unless you are a botanist The only thing it doesn t tell you is how to control or eradicate the weed but the name of the app is ID weeds not exterminate them One of my problems with the app was that some of the IDs involve pulling the weed and I planted a wildflower seed garden and wanted to know whether something I couldn t identify yet no flowers yet was something I planted or a weed The only reason I didn t give it 5 stars is that a the thumbnails for their weed guesses are tiny so you often have to open them all up If they were a little larger or zoomable or enlarged when you hovered over them you could save the time of opening and closing each file And b the first picture in each file I looked at wasn t always a close up of a mature or at least identifiable plant Sometimes you had to go 3 or more pictures in to see what the plant looks like when you re likely to be pulling it I d really like to give 4 5 stars as that s not a deal breaker just gives them something to shoot for on the next version                 Makes it easier to ID those annoying weeds CA-KS-RN

I use this app to help clients identify weeds The back button should go back to the parent link Readability is five star Would like to see management irradication options                 Excellent resource Missouri Pedologist

I really like the app except when I view a weed and hit the back button It takes you back to the beginning of the list and you have to restart your search                 Good reference Chubbyslatte

I ve used a lot of these weed ID apps I m an agronomist I keep my books close by But this is the best app I ve found and it competes with my books Really good                     Best weed ID app NapoleonTheFurry

I have used this app for identifying medicinal herbs most people call weeds here in Texas It worked well for identifying and giving me the common name of the plant so that I could look it up in a reference book Unfortunately last time I updated my iPhone it rendered the app useless Going to try to download it again today Other than that it works very well                 Handy Cwdammit

Fairly comprehensive and great pics but drop down menu for characteristic choices does not work Reinstalled and rebooted but still broken         Fix needed Tsglass201

I can no longer select identification options in the drop down menus since upgrading to iOS9         stopped working under iOS9 grizz lee

The identify a weed function doesn t allow my to select anything in the drop down menu Not sure if it is a bug with iOS 9 of iPhone 6S Could be a good app if that function worked         Needs work Interrobangart

Just downloaded Like it so far but difficult to scroll down the list of weeds without opening something Agree the photos could be bigger                 Scrolling Km206666

It s a handy app but I wish the pictures were bigger I d buy a version with bigger better pictures             Pretty good Clever emi

I think this is a solid if not spectacular app for identifying weeds in the south central region It walks you through a process of questions which limit your choices of possible weeds the more criteria you select Found that some of the more technical questions didn t give any help to the layman except basic sometimes very cryptic photos Some text explanation might be nice Also found that when scrolling through plant selections it would interpret a pause in my scrolling as me choosing that plant and sending me into the detailed plant explanation Would really like it if all photos of plant came up when going into detail screen current version makes me scroll through them Would also like if detail provided control strategies                 Pretty Good KStno9999

is that when you press BACK you should go back to the point from whence you came but you do not Instead it takes you back to the very beginning and you ll have to scroll to get to where you were             Another thing to fix Tim-2001

I don t even really want to say that it s a good first try because really it s not The search functionality is pretty much useless and hardly if ever works So it basically just becomes a long and monotonous list of every possible weed they chose to include Even at that it still fails as scrolling is clumsy going back and forth from the tiny postage stamp sized preview to the actual grainy full photo starts the list at the top all over again If your fingers can actually get the letter selector to work the app will not let you scroll up past that letter which just seems entirely unnecessary I will admit it s one of the few apps that even tries and it might be useful to some but it needs a lot of work to actually be useful as an ipad app As is it s a very very rough app So if you expect this to magically identify the nuisance plants in your yard with simplicity and ease keep looking If however you just basically want a flat list with tiny thumbnails grainy photos and little else in a listing of all possible MO weeds they chose to include then this app might be for you         Wow this app needs a LOT of work Geomz

It s a great start but has room to improve I would like to bookmark certain invasives Better and more photos are needed Not all species have descriptions to go with them And best control methods per season would be extremely helpful including manual mechanical and chemical Thanks for all your hard work There is a huge need for a comprehensive invasive App         Good start with a lot of potential allicat3

This is very good It could be made even better if the identification module worked like a real decision tree where after a selection is made for a major attribute only the relevant choices are possible selections for the next attribute That way you would never get the entire form filled out only to have the app tell you there are no weeds which match                 Good app No mo weeds

I could see this being a very useful app if you re in MO or surrounding states I m in Colorado and while there s some overlap which is why I downloaded it it s certainly not tailored to the western plains but that s not how it s advertised so that s fine It s still got utility here but not as much as it would be if I were in MO Now Colorado State needs to do something like this All in all it s a very functional app I ll keep it                 Pretty handy not great for my location wowsley

Great app Easy to use and very helpful My fianc does crop research and every now and then comes across a weed he hasn t seen or does not immediately recognize and he loves this app It s also helpful for around the house figuring out what weeds are in the garden                 Way to go Mizzou Molly Williams

They need to provide definitions of search terms and better photos The photos are tiny with no way to zoom in         Could be better dr_punditington

Great tool to use while in the field Handy for a field scout to refer to as well Allows you to identify a weed by selecting multiple categories in order to help you find the right weed Fantastic                     Awesome field app Countrycal
