A more accurate engine
Our custom model is trained on plant health patterns rather than general imagery. Species identification and health scoring both hold up better across difficult lighting, unusual symptoms, and less common species.
v1.2 is live. A smarter, faster AI engine reads your plants more accurately, AI Care Plans give struggling plants a route back to health, and Sprout grows alongside you every week. The whole app has been redrawn to match.
SproutAI now runs a new generation of our own personalised AI engine. It reads your plants more accurately and answers in seconds.
Our custom model is trained on plant health patterns rather than general imagery. Species identification and health scoring both hold up better across difficult lighting, unusual symptoms, and less common species.
Photos are compressed before analysis, so a health check returns in seconds instead of leaving you on a spinner.
A health check you have already run returns the number you saw last time. Scores are locked in, so your timeline stays trustworthy over months.
Every score arrives with a short, plain-language note about what the AI saw, like “84 · leaves firm, slight tip-browning.” You get the number and the reason behind it.
The headline feature of v1.2. When a plant is struggling, SproutAI builds it a personalised recovery plan instead of leaving you to guess.
When a plant’s health drops below 75 percent, a Get Care Plan button appears on its Plant Profile. Tap it and SproutAI builds a plan tuned to what it sees in your photos.
Every plan opens with a plain-language diagnosis of what is most likely going wrong, so you understand the problem before you treat it.
A short list of things to do today, ordered by what will help most. No horticulture background required.
A week-by-week schedule covering watering, light, and placement, plus what to watch for and how long recovery should take.
Where a plan calls for them, SproutAI recommends specific treatments and supplements, with the reason each one is suggested.
A care plan stays with the plant until it recovers above 75 percent. If health drops again later, a new plan picks up where the last one left off.
When your plant climbs back above 75 percent, SproutAI marks the moment: “Your plant is thriving again.” Proof the work paid off.
A growing companion who keeps you company between check-ins. Sprout grows as your care streak grows.
Sprout lives on your dashboard and advances through growth stages as you keep checking in. Tap Sprout to see your streak, your stage, and the badges you have earned.
Check in on your plants once a week and the streak continues. Miss a week and Sprout drops back one stage, so the streak stays worth keeping without punishing a single busy week.
Milestones unlock badges as you go, for streak length, plants recovered, and health checks logged. They collect in one place inside Sprout.
Onboarding spells out the deal: ongoing tracking takes about five seconds a week. Snap one photo, log it, done.
Getting into your account is steadier on both Apple and Google.
The Apple sign-in flow now completes reliably and returns you straight to your plants, including on a fresh install where the account already exists.
Google sign-in handles cancelled and interrupted attempts cleanly instead of leaving the button stuck, and it restores your existing account rather than starting a new one.
Every screen in the app has been redrawn on one design system. Same app, considerably calmer.
Shared colour, type, spacing, and card styles now run through every screen, so the dashboard, Plant Profile, camera, and settings finally look like one product.
A step-by-step first run that explains what SproutAI does, sets up your first plant, and states the five-second weekly promise before asking for anything.
Clearer health status, a more readable care timeline, and more room for the photos you take. The information you check most is now the information you see first.
The floating tab bar adopts Apple’s iOS 26 Liquid Glass material for a translucent, light-bending finish that matches the rest of the system.
Notifications were rebuilt around a single scheduler, so you get fewer, better-timed nudges.
Care reminders are grouped and delivered in a morning lane and an evening lane rather than firing one by one through the day.
Nothing arrives overnight. Reminders that fall inside your quiet hours are held until the next lane.
After you log a watering on a struggling plant, SproutAI asks for a health photo so the recovery is tracked from that moment forward.
Thriving plants get the weekly check-in and nothing else, so the app stays out of your way when there is nothing to fix.
Plus the usual sweep of small bug fixes, copy tweaks, and stability work across the app.
