After the update the free version is ruined. Only one picture per record. I thought I might purchase the app to support the developer but you have to subscribe and pay monthly to keep the features. But the worst part is that I can’t even export my data I have entered in the app. For […]

Maybe for small gardens… Recording activities after the event seems unduly difficult. Meanwhile, the precise determination of areas is over-fussy. All in all, a written log with pertinent details seems more effective for providing insights, particularly combined with meteorological records gathered in situ. I cannot recommend this for structured planning to extend cultivated areas nor, […]

So helpful to assure good success! I use it to record all the plants that I have tried in my completely new front and back yard as well as outdoor pots and those I bring in for the winter as well as my indoor plants. I include the care for each one for quick reference. […]

Love it, so handy and is great when out and about to double check I dont already own a plant (main reason was recommended). The “events” are really useful for keeping track of last water/fertilise certain areas- I tend to forget, too many plants!!. I enjoy reading the inspo articles, even being southern hemisphere they […]

Just what I needed, nice simple to use app that helps makes things easier keeping track of my gardening! If I could add one thing it would be a sort of ‘plant wishlist’ for planning purposes, where I can save a plant type and any researched info i have on it, and maybe compare saved […]

It was a blessing until the update. The feature for multiple photos has been removed. Being able to add multiple pictures for events keeps your journal less congested and also less tedious when documenting old plants. It was very beneficial for myself for I am simultaneously keeping track of plants I currently have while documenting […]

UPDATE: jumped through hoops to log in via web site and pay for a yearly subscription for a lower price $5 AUD / month. Much better but still seems high for an app that is all user content. Anyway now when ever I log via my laptop it logs me out on my phone. Or […]

So much potential. This is a great app on the face of it. There are a couple of problems that need fixing. I use it just to catalog my own plants (to remember the names and cultivars). I have a couple of hundred plants, and there is an issue with some of the photos loading. […]

First I liked this app, put all info for my garden/plants/activity. But after 2 months use, app doesn’t show photos properly, only cropped thumbnails. I guessed, I have used up free storage, and tried to find out premium prices. On their website, monthly price is shown, but no monthly option on app’s “go premium”, just […]

This is easily the best gardening app that I have found. Lots of reviews I’ve read here concentrate on what it doesn’t do! But what it does, it does very well! I was looking for a way to record what was in my garden and beyond a simple spreadsheet, I thought I might find an […]

Was a great place to store plant / growing information. I really enjoyed keeping track of my garden, adding photos, getting inspiration. I didn’t even mind adding all the information on each new plant myself. However, sadly after latest update, I can now only add 1 picture, can’t draw and add information to that 1 […]

Let’s you do all the work. Adds little value. Must add each of your plants and their needs to a garden. Does it have a library of varieties to choose from? No. Does it build you a garden schedule once you’ve done all that work? No. It’s basically a diary for each of your plants. […]

I used this app back when it was completely free. Im glad to pay the fee because this app is awesome. Hoping that the ability to share new entrys with my follower list and see their latest entries on my feed. The chat is a cool feature but being able to post and have conversation […]

Tough to have to leave a 1star review but feels like it’s the only way to get developers attention. I had great hopes for this app to be able to tell me the needs of my plants (for some reason all apps give you only complicated reminders but you have to research plant by plant […]

I have documented my gardens on and off the old fashioned way for years with handwritten notes and sketches. I actually enjoyed writing about my gardens but I wanted an easy way to keep track of the various plants and spaces, and mostly ONE place to keep the notes and lots of pictures. I played […]

Here’s what it’s missing; there needs to be a section for planning your annual garden, preferably with lists of companion plants. Maybe even a place to set alerts such as a change in your watering schedule or when to to pick up supplies before your seed order arrives. As it stands the app is just […]

Really disappointed. This app used to be completely free. Hadn’t used it in quite some time. I decided to download it anyway just to use the calendar feature, so that I’m not filling up my phones calendar with my gardening schedule. You have to pay just to use their calendar. Super disappointed with all these […]

Reliable, easy and free. I attached multiple pictures to my records. Today, I went to make an entry, and my old version was no longer supported and I had to update. The new free level allows one picture per record. I’ve never had a problem with the freemium model. Give more, better features to paying […]

I love this app. Instead of using a notebook to document my plants, areas and activities (which I always seem to misplace) I have immediate access…to share with family and friends, and to refer to as needed. Even the other day before I bought a duplicate plant at a nursery, I was able to log […]

Edit from 3* to 1* — After the update that I was forced to install today, the app is completely unusable without paying a monthly subscription fee. No additional benefit, just locking existing functionality behind a monthly subscription. And no, I don’t care to hear about your yearly subscription, either. If you wanted me to […]
