This is one of those "gateway apps" that you can show a non techie person and actually get them excited about using a device #Digitober
Today’s featured free #digitober app is PlantNet Snap a picture of any plant, and PlantNet will help identify it instantly. Perfect for gardeners, walkers, foragers, or anyone curious about the world around them. https://t.co/qenUj3ty7N
