Frequently Asked Questions

💳 How do scans / credits work?

Each scan uses 1 credit. You start with a few free credits, and can buy more packs (3 / 10 / 25 / 50 scans) anytime from the Paywall. We never charge an automatic subscription.

⏳ Do credits expire?

No. Credits never expire — buy them once and use them whenever you need a diagnosis.

💸 Can I get a refund?

Credits are consumable in-app purchases processed by Apple, so under App Store policy they are non-refundable. Since they never expire, there's no urgency to use them.

🔁 I bought credits but they didn't appear / I changed devices.

Open the App → Settings → "Restore Purchases", and make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID. Your credit balance is synced to your anonymous account.

🤔 Why no subscription?

Most plant apps auto-charge $60/year even if you only use them a couple of times. We let you pay only for what you use — $0.99 per scan, credits never expire.

📷 Why did my diagnosis fail?

Make sure the photo is well-lit and the leaf fills most of the frame. If a disease can't be confirmed with high confidence, we'll ask a quick follow-up or suggest the most likely cause. Credits are only used once a scan is actually submitted.

🔔 I'm getting too many (or too few) notifications.

PlantDoctor sends at most 2 notifications per day. You can adjust or disable them in iOS Settings → Notifications → PlantDoctor.

📍 Why do you need my location?

Only to fetch your local weather for accurate watering reminders. We never store your exact location — you can always deny access and set a city manually instead.

🗑 How do I delete my data?

Settings → "Delete my cloud data". This removes all cloud backups immediately. Local data is removed when you delete the app.

📦 How do I export my data?

Settings → "Export all data (JSON)". This gives you a downloadable copy of everything we store.

🌱 Is PlantDoctor a substitute for a professional?

No. We provide informational guidance and product suggestions. Always follow product labels, and for severe cases consider a local nursery or extension service.
