Abstract Soil degradation, unpredictable climate patterns, and limited access to agricultural diagnostics continue to challenge small-scale farmers and home gardeners, particularly in developing regions such as the Philippines. This study presents SoilScope, an AI-powered mobile application designed to provide real-time soil analysis, early disease detection, and sustainability-focused recommendations through accessible smartphone technology. Developed using React Native, Firebase, and lightweight Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models, the system classifies soil types and detects visible soil-related plant diseases using in-app image capture. The application incorporates offline functionality, gamification, and an AI chatbot to enhance usability and agricultural literacy among users with varying technical backgrounds. A mixed-methods evaluation involving end-users and information technology experts was conducted using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the ISO/IEC 25010 quality framework. Results indicated high perceived usability, responsiveness, reliability, and overall effectiveness in supporting precision soil care practices. SoilScope demonstrates strong potential as a cost-efficient digital agriculture tool that empowers farmers to make timely, science-based decisions, contributing to sustainable farming and food security initiatives aligned with national and global development goals.
