The Garden Answers app boasts:

Our advanced image recognition technology can instantly identify over 20,000 plants.

Since its launch in April of 2013, the Garden Answers app has become the #1 downloaded gardening mobile app. This release has major improvements and updates that makes it even easier to use and gives you more accurate answers.

My two cents:

This app is very similar to the GardenTags app, but arguably more credible somehow. The ability to peruse gardening topics and answers from horticulturists made the app incredibly interesting – I found myself lost in the pest identification forums, arguing with my screen.

I think that if I ever have a plant or pest question that I can’t identify through other means, I could try this app and have decent results. I’m not likely to keep this app on my phone, but will save it in case I find myself in a hot spot and need answers.
