There are many apps that use mobile phone cameras and other devices that might surprise you.

Seek by iNaturalist

To use it, simply take a picture or point your camera at a plant, insect, or animal, and you'll get important information about it. It includes the target's scientific name, common name, seasonal nature, and a description of its appearance, among other information.

From Seed to Spoon

You can add fruits and vegetables you'd like to grow on a virtual “Grow Box” from a list of images. It will then give seed-starting, removing and replanting, and harvesting dates for those plants based on your location using satellite data. The free version of the app also provides information on each crop's requirements for temperature, sunlight, water, and fertilizer.

PictureThis

Picture This will identify your plant and provide information about it from a picture on your phone's camera. It will show health information, its scientific name, where it can be found, common uses, harvesting time, and how to produce new plants from your existing plant. It also will show sunlight, soil, water, and fertilizer requirements. You can pay $29.99 a year for the paid version, which provides treatment information for sick plants. The free version will, however, identify a disease from a picture of a sick plant.

Apple Visual Look Up

Apple Visual Look Up is an AI feature for iPhone and iPad. It will identify plants, flowers, insects, birds, and other animals shown in any photo. Using an Apple product running iOS16 or iPadOS16, you can use the feature by choosing a photo in your phone, then touching the “info”  image below it. It is the letter “I” in a circle with stars above it.
