Reviews for Blossom - Plant Identifier

This app seems like a wonderful little plant app, especially if you have 5 plants or less that you would like to keep track of or have reminders for. However, if you have more than 5 plants, like I do, there is a paywall to unlock the feature to keep track of more than 5 […]

Update 7/24: still love this app, but it’s been freezing SO often. Nearly every time I edit a plant and sometimes just on loading it up I have to force-kill it. Also I find that the amount of water suggested for larger containers is often absurd, like a gallon for a 12″ pot. Original review: […]

So far I like the app. I don’t really have a use for the reminders just yet (most of my flowers have just sprouted). The notes section has been useful for jotting down when they sprouted and when they’ve been fertilized. Unfortunately, it seems I mostly picked flowers that are not in the database. Of […]

The whole point of me purchasing the premium version, was so I could be reminded when to care/water my different plants. Why am I paying for something that is not working?! I don’t get notifications anymore. When I go into the app it says I need to water everything again even tho I marked that […]

It’s a lovely app I just need for my new planting adventure. The plant identifying option doesn’t really work, in my honest opinion. I tried to identify an artichoke, and something else popped up. So I wouldn’t really put my faith in that function. In addition, I wish new species can be added to the […]

This app is so buggy, I’m growing to hate it. Randomly, some of my plants doubled. When I delete the extras, they show up again. Also, there should be more ability to customize when they’re watered/fertilized and manipulating the slide to make the pot is absolutely RIDICULOUS. It’s horrible, I can never get it just […]

I used to recommend this app to everyone but within the last few months I’ve been having so many problems with it crashing constantly it’s becoming time consuming to use it. I’ve also been having to manually search for plants since the identifier is not recognizing them. I saw that the price was increasing significantly […]

Eta: 4/2/2024- I really loved this app, and found it super helpful for keeping all of my plants watered. Unfortunately, there was some update that caused all of the plants to refuse to sync from one phone to another. I had more than 40 plants listed, and now that I’ve upgraded my phone, apparently I […]

Very nice care plans & tons of info, but needs enhancements. I prefer my reminders to be set at 10am. The default is 8am and there’s no way to change that, except by editing the time for EACH plant. However, the setting sticks only sometimes. Other times it will not save no matter what I […]

I like it so far! I only started a week or 2 ago, but I found that not only are there easy to read articles covering general beginner stuff like repotting, watering, etc. there’s also care instructions for your specific plants. I don’t think 25 bucks a year is too much if you enjoy your […]

I wanted to give this review a higher rating due to my longevity of using this app for a couple years now, and also for how good the performance used to be. Lately however, there are so many issues where the app is constantly lagging and closing. It also no longer automatically sends care reminders. […]

I love the potential of this app, I just hope some things can improve for the users. It makes it so much easier, especially for new plant people, to water and fertilize correctly. And learn more info about your plants. I wish I could set my location by state instead of by zone, think the […]

Pretty good! I’ve been using this app for a couple of months now. I do like it, it’s nice to look at and the articles are generally helpful. It would be great if you could edit a care plan! I would also like to make a list in the app, I have a wishlist going […]

This app has a lot of potential. However, there’s still a lot of work needed to be done in order for this app to obtain optimal utilization for success. I’ve noticed inaccurate diagnosis, which happens quite frequently when diagnosing the plants via picture followed by the same questions soon after. Which is either overwatering or […]

I love the accuracy of this app; however, it is too geared toward house or container plant maintenance. I wish there was a feature for just cataloging the plants/trees on my large property and gardens. Being forced to step through the care options to add them to my list is tedious and annoying. Plants should […]

I’ve been using Blossom for a few years, and I have to say, the features are amazing. If only the app was functional. It crashes every time I open it, try to edit my plants, try to update watering schedules or new pots or moving plants to new rooms… anything. Canceled my subscription and using […]

This app, when it works, is great. However, even after the most recent update, it freezes or gets really slow to respond, closes on its own, and I often have to exit and restart the app several times before I’m done watering. I could live with that for $25 a year, but tripling the price […]

Update: Despite tech team assist the app continues to crash after uninstall & reinstall. Will not back up & begins crashing again. Been faithfully a user for over a year now & sadly it has began repeatedly crashing several times a morning. It’s very frustrating, so considering a different app or going old school. Otherwise, […]

At $20/year the app is fine. It provides a good reminder for watering and fertilizing and it is OK at plant identification. But the reality is that the schedules are hard to adjust and tend to lead to watering too frequently and with too little water. When the plant has trouble, the answer is ALWAYS […]

I used to have a black thumb. I couldn’t keep any plants alive except for golden pothos. Now I am running out of sunny spots for my plants and they are thriving. My only issue with the app is it crashes easily and sometimes won’t show me my plant tasks despite getting a notification that […]
