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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

This app is pretty amazing. It’s helped me a lot as a new plant mom. I am only giving 3 stars because of a bug where some of my plants just don’t show up for their watering reminders. They will show up eventually, but as an ‘overdue for watering’ notification. I had 9 show up […]

Be careful, app provided watering schedule may be VERY wrong. Yes, some degree of customization is needed based on your plants, but this app just seems to generically recommend watering once a week. Your plants may survive, but many definitely won’t thrive. How might the app be better? Gather more useful data about the environment. […]

this app is great for identifying plants, not so great on the diagnosis of my plants and how to make them grow better. I’ve sent in photos a couple of times of my plants and gotten back trite responses telling me to increase the light on a plant that they told me would be okay […]

I downloaded this today, and I’m honestly not too happy with it. There seems to be a lot of misinformation on plants, plants not in their database (string of turtles), and they’re “sickness detection” feature os completely bugged. Anytime I would scam a plant, it would say my healthy ones are sick and the unhealthy […]

I’ve been using the free version (not the free trial) for a year. it’s a bit cumbersome that the landing page/splash screen is the paid premium options, but there’s an x at the top right corner that allows you to exit, taking you to the rest of the free app. the app has a lot […]

I ended up canceling at the end of my free trial (today), but have been charged $29.99 USD anyway for 1 month of membership. Immediately after canceling, I received an offer to get a whole year for $29.99 USD. Just letting y’all know I just paid for 1 month on what I could’ve got for […]

Very light on information, PictureThis is significantly better or you could simply use Google Lens for free and know everything. I had no intention of purchasing this app but it must have charged me after a free trial without notification, bummer. As an example, in the very basic list of information after having it analyze […]

love this app so far! even without purchasing the subscription its still a great app. only one small thing I wish it had was an option to select a grow light since my Pothos is in my bedroom and it says its not a good place due to low light. would also be cool to […]

I like the app but missing a few things. Photo identification feature is fairly accurate. Easy to use and straight forward user interface. A soil feature would be awesome, being able to pick what kind of media the plant is in or if it’s growing in water. I have a few pothos in water and […]

I absolutely loved this app from the moment I downloaded it. But anytime I have tried to mark all my plants have been watered or fertilized no matter how long I have waited after hitting confirm it does not update or anything but the second I hit cancel it takes away the message. I want […]
