Find and identify plants, compete with your friends

Flora Finder is an innovative mobile application that transforms your smartphone into a portable botanist. Using image recognition technology and a database of plant species, the app allows users to quickly identify flowers, trees, and other plants by simply taking a photo.

Upon opening the app, users are greeted with a clean, intuitive interface featuring a camera button. Once a photo is taken or uploaded, Flora Finder analyses the image and provides detailed information about the plant, including its common and scientific names, characteristics etc.

Successfully identifying plants earns points, and users can track their progress on a leaderboard. This gamification aspect not only makes learning about flora more engaging but also encourages outdoor exploration and citizen science.

The app's league table ranks users based on their identification accuracy and the number of unique species they've cataloged. The league table helps in, fostering a sense of community among plant enthusiasts. Additionally, users can create their own virtual collection, saving and categorising their plant discoveries for future reference.

Flora Finder an useful tool for gardeners, hikers, students, and anyone curious about the natural world around them.
