Try iNaturalist, it works pretty well. Also, learn plant morphology, makes it easier to narrow things down when you get a couple suggestions within the same genus or family.

As someone who uses iNaturalist and has a plant friend, I can confirm.

Indeed, basic plant morphology knowledge plus some local Floras and iNaturalist worked out quite well for me in the tropics. There are also so many people that know plants on iNat. You only get into trouble if you try to ID rare species, but that's also the case in the temperate zones.

using inaturalist and uploading your observations also contributes to science :)
