The great natural outdoors represent a truly fantastic place. In the nature, people have a chance to reconnect with their original habitat and feel its immense power to impress and inspire them. This opportunity is, sadly, becoming rarer as many forms of urban jungle continue to conquer the natural environment. In this process, many technologies might seem like they are working against nature. But, this does not have to be the case. There are many shining examples of technology that is used to promote the process of experiencing nature. FlowerChecker is a mobile device app that is a perfect example of this notion. With this app on an iPhone, users can become immersed in the world of nature like never before.

The basic concept of this app is the idea of using modern technology to help users identify any plant they come across in their everyday life. With this simple, but very useful notion, the app’s creators offered something unique to the world. People no longer need to rely on plant and flower textbooks or the unproven knowledge of individuals who claim to know how to identify plants. Instead, with an iPhone in their pocket, users from any place in the world can get fast and accurate information about a plant that is of interest to them. For this, all that is needed is a mobile device made by the Apple Company. The same device needs an iOS 7.1 or a later version and is compatible with the iPhone, the iPad, and the iPod touch. 

FlowerChecker provides many useful features. Its core feature represents its ability to detect and identify plants from photos that users make with their iPhone or some other device and then send via the same app. By using a team of international experts, the same photos will be precisely named and the users will receive this and other valuable information about it. Additional app’s features include the ability to recognize not only flowers and plants, but also moss, fungi and lichen. These features also mean that the identification process is not computer-based but is produced by real experts. A useful in-app purchase system means that the users can be assured that the same effective expert team for a very affordable price inspects their plant photos. In the case identification cannot be made, the users do not pay anything. Currently, the FlowerChecker boasts a success rate of more than 90%.

The thing that really separates this app from its competitors, aside from the fact that it provides a few completely free trial identifications, is its simple and effective visual environment. Using a black background and green letters, the same app is ideal for reading even in strong light or other challenging settings that nature lovers might often find themselves in. This shows that the development team really thought about everything.

There is no doubt that people who love nature will also love the FlowerChecker app, first and foremost because it will allow them to transform their iPhone into a superior plant and flower database.
