Bug fixes, sign in, and a redesigned experience.

A foundational polish release. Two new sign-in methods, a freshly drawn floating tab bar with a raised AI Check button, a step-by-step onboarding flow, smarter image validation, and a long list of fixes from the first month of real use.

Bug fixes.

Sharp edges from the v1.0 launch, rounded off. Each of these came from real user reports in the first weeks.

Email confirmation flow

The Supabase redirect now lands cleanly on the support site with a green "Email confirmed" banner, so you know you can return to the app and sign in.

AI plant validation

Before analysis, GPT-4o now checks whether your photo actually shows a real plant. Artificial plants, blurry frames, and other objects are caught up front instead of producing a confident-sounding wrong answer.

Progress bar accuracy

The analysis progress bar and the percentage counter now share a single animated source, so they stay locked in step from 0 to 100 percent.

Redesigned "no plant detected" popup

When the AI doesn't see a plant, the message now appears as a solid bottom-sheet popup instead of an overlay floating on the camera viewfinder. Clearer, less startling, easier to act on.

Sign in & onboarding.

Three ways in, a step-by-step welcome flow, and full account deletion for compliance with Apple's privacy rules.

CalAI-style onboarding

A multi-step welcome flow with benefit screens and personalisation questions, ending with account creation. You see the value before you're asked to sign up.

Sign in with Google

Google OAuth via Supabase. One tap to create or sign in to your PlantAI account.

Sign in with Apple

Native Apple authentication via expo-apple-authentication. Use your Apple ID with Hide My Email if you'd rather not share your real address.

Account deletion

Full account and data deletion from inside Settings. Hits Apple's compliance requirement and gives you a real "off switch" any time you want it.

UI overhaul.

A redrawn tab bar, a fresh AI Check screen, and motion that finally feels native.

Redesigned floating tab bar

A dark pill that floats above the content with a raised green AI Check button at the centre. A sliding indicator follows the active tab so you always know where you are.

AI Check screen redesign

A full-screen camera with a fixed dark bottom panel, an amber tip bar that surfaces capture advice, and a cleaner plant selector for choosing which plant you're checking.

Spring animations

Apple-style press animations on every touchable element across the app. Small, fast, satisfying.

Haptic feedback

Light, medium, and success haptics on the interactions that matter most: capture, log watering, complete an alert.

App Store & settings.

A polish pass aimed at the App Store listing and the small but important corners of Settings.

New App Store screenshots

Retaken with the redesigned UI and caption text overlays so the listing actually represents the current app.

Updated support URL

The App Store support link now points to officialplantai-app.github.io, not a placeholder.

Contact support email

The Settings screen now has a tappable mailto link in the Support section. One tap, your message composer opens addressed to official.plantai@gmail.com.

In-app review prompt

SKStoreReviewAPI now triggers after your third completed health check, so the request only appears once you've actually used the AI.

Camera permission description

The permission string now clearly explains that the camera is used for AI plant identification, in line with Apple's privacy guidance.
