What’s New

Version 1.1

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Being a trusted tool for many years, and helping thousands of users, it is time to give our app a well-deserved update. Nothing too drastic, a fresh lick of paint and replaced some parts under-the-hood. Send your feedback to alex.huntley@basf.com

not for the US

Guess i missed the part about it being for the UK. Some weeds listed are in US but many many many are not. Wish I had paid more attention. Spent $4.99 on a app I can't use , but thats my fault. Looks like a good start to a fine app. Keep working on it BASF. Looking forward to the US version.

WEED ID

Although there are many weeds in the database, you can only access that information if you know the common or scientific name. I thought that a "weed id" app would let me find the weed by its physical characteristics ... not true. Once you guess the leaf style and flower color and style, an ID is given. That's just not enough degrees of separation.

Enter lobed leaves, erect daisy type flower with yellow color and you don't get dandelion. Nice start; but would still be disappointing as a FREE app. For the price, I really expected something useful.

App doesn’t work

The app opens the Home Screen and then just closes down. Obviously has a bug but no updates are available at this point.
