Identification accuracy heavily depends on the quality of the photos taken; blurry or poorly lit images may lead to inconclusive results and frustration for users.

While comprehensive, the species database may not cover all regional plants, particularly in less common ecological areas, which can limit identification options.

Some advanced features and full database access require in-app purchases, which may deter users looking for completely free resources.

New users, especially those with limited experience in botany, may find it initially challenging to navigate all features and make the most of the app's offerings.

The app can consume considerable battery life when using the camera function repeatedly in outdoor settings, which may be an issue during long trips.

LeafSnap offers a free version that includes basic identification features and access to a selection of the plant database, making it suitable for casual users.

A premium subscription unlocks the full database, advanced features, and ad-free experience. This offers serious plant enthusiasts an enhanced and more comprehensive identification experience.
