A smartphone app that will identify plants from a photo

I'm sure it's early days with these apps, but no doubt they'll improve with time

I have 3 different apps like those on my phone, 2 of which I'm going to get rid of as I really don't like them, the 3rd is called "Like that Garden" and I do like this one and it's ease of use but I haven't found it all that great at IDing.
I think it is best suited for things like flowers and obvious stuff, to be fair I have given it some tough ones that I still have no ID for and some simple ones which it could get but if it had a flower I reckon it would do alright.

Still thanks for the link, I will check those ones out as well. Like you say given time they are bound to improve.
