免费吗?Is PotPal free?
核心照护功能永久免费且无广告:拍照识别、浇水提醒和养护记录都可直接使用。盆友 Pro 提供可选的 iCloud 同步、AI 无上限、年度养护报告与完整护理提醒。Core care is free forever and ad-free: photo ID, watering reminders, and care records are available to everyone. Optional PotPal Pro adds iCloud sync, unlimited AI, yearly reports, and complete care reminders.
拍照识别怎么工作的?How does plant identification work?
拍一张照片,内置免费 AI 识别品种,返回习性、浇水周期和养护要点。不用注册,不用配置。Take a photo. The built-in free AI identifies the species and returns its habits, ideal watering cycle, and care tips — no registration needed.
为什么总让我再等等?Why does it tell me to wait?
浇水过多是室内植物的头号杀手。PotPal 默认偏干——宁可提醒你去看一眼,也不命令你必须浇。Overwatering is the #1 killer of houseplants. PotPal defaults to the dry side — it would rather remind you to check than command you to water.
户外植物能用吗?Does it work for outdoor plants?
PotPal 为室内和阳台植物优化——浇水由你掌控的场景。花园里有自然降雨,提醒意义不大。PotPal is optimized for indoor and balcony plants where you control the watering. For garden beds with natural rainfall, the reminders are less relevant.
数据安全吗?Is my data private?
默认保存在本机。照片只用于这一次识别,用完即弃;盆友 Pro 可将植物档案同步到你自己的 iCloud 私有数据库。全程不需要账号。On-device by default. Photos are used only for that request, then discarded; PotPal Pro can sync plant records to your own private iCloud database. No account required.
和其他植物 App 有什么不同?What makes PotPal different?
三件事:不轰炸的通知(同天合并一条)、尊重你判断的「还没干」推迟、以及透明展示计算过程的浇水推导卡。Three things: notifications that don't spam (same-day plants bundle into one), a "not dry yet" snooze that respects your judgment, and a transparent Watering Reasoning Card showing exactly how each schedule was calculated.
