Free plant identifier app

Any recommendations? I have been using Candide for several years, but the app is now apparently "not supported by this device". Searching for the app on Google Play reveals no result.

I'm been pretty satisfied with PlantNet. I often test it on plants I know and it's always been right. It's free, no adverts but occasionally asks for a voluntary donation - which I think is worth it. I've also used LeafSnap, free but does have ads which have to be regularly closed.

Thanks, FF. I've also been recommended it on another forum and will give it a go. Google Lens has also been recommended.

Picture This is excellent. Love it. BUT they are good at getting you to subscribe to the monthly paid for service.
this can be avoided by checking the app carefully.

Don't know about the others, but with PlantNet you can confirm that the identification is correct, and then share your photos and identification, I presume to go into the database.

Often, especially after the Winter Layoff, I am flummoxed by a plant that I know I know but simply can't remember. One of these Apps is exactly what I need, many thanks for the prompts.

Yes - during the Covid lockdowns we did a lot of walking locally and began to notice more of the flora on our walks, wondering what they were. The Candide app was recommended to me by a friend (online - no F2F contact involved!) and was extremely useful.

This gives details - I note (but didn't realise) this was a Bristol-based endeavour.

So Candide is no more. It seems to have been a 'gardener's' app, whereas my interest was in wildflowers (though PlantNet seemed identify garden plants too). I've probably got room for two or three other apps on my phone - though in the end I'll probably gravitate towards the one that seems best to me. It's good to have free apps, but if I use an app or service I feel an obligation to donate voluntarily if asked.
