Medicinals
First blush of this app is impressive. I’m so happy it’s made with integrity. THANK YOU
Plantain, “white man’s footprint,” dandelion and elderberry are excellent medicinal plants. A few comments indicate people want to know more about plantain. Plantain is in the top 10 list of Chinese herbal medicines. Although it is typically innocuous and can be eaten, its use as a medicine far outweighs the edible aspect. I keep my family supplied with plantain salve year-round. Having rambled enough, this app would be worth its weight in gold if it included foraging/gathering for medicinal plants (and what to do with them and what they are useful for) that are often “pesky weeds.” Please consider adding medicinal plants to this app.
Also, would you consider a “lifetime” subscription for seniors for a one-time charge? I’m 75 years of age and would be grateful for a onetime, lifetime subscription fee.
Keep up the good work!

Hey, great points! I’ve marked this one completed, as all the species you mentioned have been added. We continue to add more species that fall under that “weedy” medicinal use category every week as well!

I agree with all points here!
