No, but sounds interesting. I wonder if it's any good at plant and insect identification because I've used apps for identifying plants at least, and sometimes nothing comes up still... but Google might have a lot more to search through!

A friend of mine has an iPhone and she has the app and she's actually the one who suggested it.

It is one of the scourges of modern life.

But I know the anti-florist brigade are working on a long term solution, they just need more funds....

You might be able to find some tutorials online or on YouTube! That can be the best way to learn something you can't figure out on your own.

Evening .

Hi Heatherly .

Thanks for comment , I struggle with computer,s and thats it really i do lots of Photography and have well over 46,000 photo,s was able to load them on the computer,s 7 of and do backup.s i use 3 computers each night for different detail ,just when new things come up i,m not up to date with thier thinking and then because we do have issues and just as i say rats in the back playing with wires so thinghs go wrong or i have to change server,s so i dont bother too much and then i,ll just stay with what i know and i get by ,

Like the phones for me is a no way not going to happen and i wont use one , so i think a lot of what goes on is related to the new phones I do have other interests that i,m good at so is just where i put time into just computers were never going to be some thing i.ll be good at.i have given it a go.
