Maybe the app

Flora Incognita | EN – The Flora Incognita app – Interactive plant species identification

is something for you. It recognizes any plant for you and give you all information about it: edible, medical effect, ... best part it is free because it is a university research project. That way you can collect wild herbs where you are. I was amazed at how many plants you can eat and what positive effects they have.

Wächst gerade direkt an meinem Café: Wilde Malve - essbar und hat auch noch medizinische Vorteile. Die App floraincognita.de eröffnet eine neue Sichtweise auf die Welt.

Yeah, I often use

iNaturalist

for help with identification. If you're planning on consuming something though, its best to not100% rely on these apps but also foraging books/knowledge covering that particular region. Regional knowledge is important because, for example, I'm pretty good at identifying edible mushrooms in the UK but that knowledge doesn't translate to any other region. This is because some of the rules of thumb I use may no longer apply, such as certain deadly lookalikes not being present in the UK, meaning they are not considered in identification heuristics.
