I was happy to find this app to keep track of my plants. However, I'm not able to add my own pictures of the plants, it keeps saying, "no connection" while I'm in a WiFi zone. What's the fix? The watering and fertilizing reminder will not sync the custom settings. I have to keep digging in the soil to check for dryness.
I like that the app makes it easy to gauge light in your plant's location, identify the health of a plant and that it has so much information and reminders. Sadly, this app doesn't allow me to input when MY plant was last watered, making the reminders not as useful for me because they don't match when my plants need water, which is the primary reason I downloaded it.
The app could be improved by simply making the temperature show proper farenheit in the US. Also it mentions that I shouldn't water plants outside. It's 27F degrees out side. I don't think anyone is growing anything outside this time of year! Those are just 2 of my issues. I have a few more but I won't bother to list those here. The app would be probably one of the best plant apps out there, if the developers took the time to fix some of the small issues. Id probably use it.
I only did the free week trial, so maybe I need more time with it. I love being able to quickly capture and track all of my plants. However, I can't mark when I actually watered or fertilized them, so the schedule is off. I had some sick plants diagnosed, but after leaving the app and coming back, I can't click back into the diagnosis information. I have to retake the photos. Also, it keeps telling me that one of my plants is just old and dying naturally... but it's a new plant from a clipping!
Listed as free, but only for the first 7 day trial period. You still have to give all your payment info just to try it out. EDITED FROM 1 * TO 3*: Apparently you do NOT have to enter payment info b4 the 7 day trial. Still don't like that it's advertised in such a way that I thought it was a few app when it's not. Can't use long term. Not impt enough to me to pay. Can't really comment on the effectiveness of the app.
All in all, I like the idea of this app. Much of the content is quite informative, but I do not trust the watering schedules any longer. So, pre-app, I had this gorgeous African violet that was growing more vigorously than any I'd ever had before, and it bloomed like mad. Fabulous. But the app had me watering it every few days instead of only when it was dry, and now it is an anemic little plant with rotting leaves that never blooms at all. I am worried that I'm going to lose it soon.
Downloaded to see if it could help with a epiphyllum hookeri/hooker's orchid cactus. After backing away from the paywall, I was almost able to use it anyway. But I guess my plant isn't in the database. it didn't recognize it when I scanned it, and there was no selection when I entered the name, so I couldn't add my plant. Disappointed. Uninstalled.
So far, this has helped me a great deal in being able to find out exactly what was wrong with my rosemary plant in my garden before it infected my Lace Leaf Maple tree! I have found out many useful things with it. The reason for only 4 🌟 is that I was unable to proceed in Google when I was checking on my subscription until I agreed to pay for another year a full 5 months before I needed to for 30 free days. I would have liked to make that decision myself. I had to add a backup card, too!
it was fantastic for a while, but within the past few months, I've stopped getting notifications and my watering schedule has been all messed up- for example, I'll water one plant one day, check it off, then ill have to water the same plant two days in a row! or all of a sudden, all of my plants will be scheduled to be watered the same day, even if they have different amounts of days they need to be watered!! this app is wonderful and super helpful! up until recently💔
I've just got this app so still in the free trial but I absolutely love it. I've come to this app from a free one as like everyone, I was hoping to find a good free version of all these cool plant apps. At first it was fine but it was full bugs that need to be sorted out so I caved and got this one and it is so much easier and simple. It auto adds all the info for you which can be edited if needed and has lots of tips and help for each plant. its a good price too, 29 quid a year. Not bad at all.
