Reviews for Garden Planner by Fryd

While still creating an account the app prompted me to rate it. So here's my rating based on my current experience.

New to UK and are working to add translations etc but functionally speaking I'm happy. Great little planning tool & planning calendar to help you see what you need to plant/transplant/harvest. Loss of one star due to two glitches in the search function in the planner, at least on mobile. 1. Glitches when trying to click on it 2. Not all plants show up in this directory even though they exist on the main plant search directory.

really loves this app! feels very community and can share your passion for garden however little....

Absolutely brilliant app. Very impressed. Only downside for me so far is that you seem to only be able to schedule pre, main and post crops with set dates, rather than a rolling monthly plan like on another app use, which makes it appear you have an overlap/look cluttered. overall it's a pretty great tool that's clearly had a lot of thought put into it. I'd definitely recommend.

just getting started with app but seems very good so far ,time will tell

I cant even get the bed shapes to co-operate. Malfunctioning. Taking way too long to try to get them in place orientation, keeps moving 2 beds together, can't make it do what I want. Too frustrating, time consuming. Bye.

I was so excited to try this app but half the time none of the plants I search for show up (things like parsley and thyme, not exotics), everything loads extremely slowly if at all, all my 40 plants in my account got deleted, my crops in my plan got deleted, and the planning tool is pretty much impossible to use or figure out. Not worth paying for tbh

I like the the tutorial to help with the onboarding experience. The aesthetics are cozy/pleasing. I would like to be able to toggle the units between metric and imperial for those who live in the U.S. I would also want to have a grid system so I know how many seeds I can sow and how many plants I can put into a certain amount of space. Not a fan that there's a fee for multiple garden bed plans but I understand money is needed for developers to make updates and fund the app.

I really like this app. Adding plants to your beds is great and shows you how many of each plant you can fit in each area. The little ⚡ and ❤️ really help with laying out too showing which plants are friends and which drain each other. You can even pick out your verity of each of your plants. Excellently designed, and free! Thank you app makers!

Tried paper, drawing programs and competitor garden planning software. Found this one the most intuitive and helpful. Four stars as there are still a bunch of terms in German, and the plant search and placement system is sometimes clunky. Still need to explore a bunch of functionalities, but this looks like it can soon be 5 stars!

I was looking forward to trying the app, but I can't even start/load 1 plan. I've been trying, the whole day. I can't even try the free version, stuck behind a pay wall for the super 7 day trial offer. Seems like a good concept.

This is not a free app or even an app for someone who is just learning. It all sounds hunky-dory until you click to set up your plan. THEN, like all the others, they charge a sizable fee. Well, to some of us, it IS a sizable fee!! Why can't they just tell you right away that they charge a fee? Why waste our time?

Lots of useful information but the UI is confusing and bloated. During the initial setup it asked me to pick plants I have but the list was blocked by UI elements when trying to search so had to go through the whole list manually. Planting times graph was confusing and when turning on adaptive planting times it said frost times are not suitable but I selected the no frost during setup and the planting times given were confusing to read. The app seems more focused on the social side.

I've tried almost all of the top rated similar apps and like this one best. It has nice beds, cute plant pictures, you can organize your beds easily, print a pdf and check tips. It respects your local climatic zone and has harvest rotation. But I rate it 4 because the rotation is not what I'd like it to be (it mixes all your plants and you can get a cabbage here and there, onions in diffrent beds - I'd rather have my plants change beds together) and it's way too expensive unfortunately.

only problem Is when looking at the requirements for the plants to grow there is no mention of required temperature which is needed as plants productivity depends on temperature otherwise good app

I hate to give this 1 star because its such a fantastic app, but I had to due to my plots glitches and getting wiped. I spent ages sorting out my plot then half of it stayed and half of it glitched, moved stuff and removed a lot of stuff. I tried to restore but the glitches were also in the restore so I couldn't get back to what I did. I have now cancelled in the trial period. I had every intention of buying it as it is such a great and helpful app. Its such a shame.

Initial thoughts were positive so subscribed to unlock the full version. I love the way you can design the beds and tips on companion planting, however I'm finding it impossible to select or even find the varieties I've added in order to organise my beds. This is a must for me as I need a way to distinguish between multiple varieties of the same species in the same bed. If this can be rectified I would gladly give a higher review and keep my subscription, however as it is I will be canceling

Super helpful app! I'm on the free version and I've gotten a lot out of it. Im a first time garden-haver, and before I found this app I was feeling in over my head with planning (and finding out you can't plant some plants near other plants, which was news to me!) and now I can easily plan my garden and visualize what it'll look like. I also love that this app gives so much value for free, and doesn't constantly beg you to pay like other annoying apps.

Awkward to make garden plan. Not intuitive enough, difficult to move the beds around (they get locked into one area) and make them the same size, no delete function for beds I didn't want. Once I managed to actually make something, I accidentally tapped something to do with fryd+ and it deleted all my work, leaving the beds empty. Then I was not able to edit the empty beds. The app was asking for permission to my photos and videos...? How about No! I'll go back to pencil and paper thanks.

For me, it made a huge difference to planning,getting numbers right and timings with having your own understanding of your environment ! I highly recommend for naturally unorganised people! 😂
