Most plant identifiers tell you a name and stop there. Snappit turns identification into a collecting game the whole family plays together.

Each identified plant becomes a Pokémon-style card with rarity tiers from common to legendary. Kids actually want to find one more.
One app for all of nature
No need for a separate app for birds or bugs. Snappit identifies plants, animals, insects, fungi, and more in a single field guide.

A note on safety
Snappit is built for learning and play, not foraging. Never eat or touch a plant, berry, or mushroom based on an app identification — always check with a local expert first.
