These upgrades have been validated through extensive user acceptance testing (UAT), and we\u2019re incredibly grateful to everyone who took part\u2014your contributions have been essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Importantly, version 2.0 has not yet launched \u2014 so users won\u2019t see these improvements just yet. While we\u2019re keen to roll them out, we\u2019re taking the time to address some remaining hurdles. UAT highlighted that consistent identification accuracy is still a challenge. In response, we\u2019ve launched a deep technical audit to better understand the underlying limitations and map out the way forward. This work is already revealing valuable insights and helping shape the next phase of development. None of this is unexpected\u2014WeedScan is pioneering technology, and breaking new ground always comes with complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P1031415-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"WeedScan 2.0 app interface.\" class=\"wp-image-7391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P1031415-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P1031415-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P1031415-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P1031415-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P1031415.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">WeedScan 2.0 will bring more functionality to the app.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, the current version of WeedScan 1.0 remains a vital tool. Ongoing use of the app is helping us train the AI model further, and every scan and image submission contributes to building a stronger, more reliable tool for the future. We encourage all users to continue using WeedScan 1.0\u2014it\u2019s playing a critical role in shaping what comes next.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check in for the latest updates, user tips and top weed observations on the WeedScan app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":669,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/gutenberg-page.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7264","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7264"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7264\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7395,"href":"https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7264\/revisions\/7395"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeds.org.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
