Reviews for Planta: Plant & Garden Care

Shaun Heckman

I didn't really get to use the app at all, so I can't speak to how it works. I installed it, created an account, and then realized it was subscription based. There is a free version, but all you can do is manually add plants and then get a watering schedule. Sure, I can use Google lens to identify the plant for free, but that seems unnecessary. This app is too expensive for any of the time frames you can choose, in my opinion.

Good app, not always ready to be watered. I have messed around with the soils to adjust the days. Example: My hoyas I put cactus soil to extend the day to be watered. Recently I have noticed it alerts me to water plants but you go to that plant and I still have 10 days left. It's not registering that I have watered it and keeps it on the task list. Never did this before till the last week or so. I have updated the app to the latest version, too.

easy to use, but says a lot of my tropical full sun plants are not suitable outdoors, like my coconut tree? had premium, but features kept getting errors and couldn't figure it out why it worked and didn't. scanner seems pretty accurate. I wish there was an option to change the date of entry when entering tasks for a site, and not enter individually.

so far, its okay. One feature I would suggest adding is allowing to transfer a plant to another user defined location. **edit** thank you. I found it. The settings gear icon you pointed me to was actually very hard to see. It is a dark green color and it sits over the photo of the plant, which happens to also be dark green. I completely did not see this button. Suggestion, give it a white outline, on some plant photos it is almost invisible currently.

Cancelled after a couple days. Out of the first 20 plants I entered, 5 were not in the database. I did repeated requests to add and thought, I am paying 8 bucks to help them build their app. If you have less common plants or any amount of skill, you don't need this app. Google Lens is free and will ID more accurately. Sticking your finger in the soil is a better than a watering schedule.

I like the app for it's information, but I find that the watering schedule is far too often. It tells me to water my outside plants the day after two days rainfall even though it says it adjusts to weather conditions in my area. 9/10x I need to snooze multiple times because my plants don't need water. If I followed this app's recommendation for watering I would have root rot for sure. My instincts and chopstick method is far more accurate, but it is a good place to keep track of your plants.

This app is really awesome. I love being able to track the proper watering and progress of all my plants. Having all the pictures I take in one place is cool. As a suggestion, I think it would be awesome if they implemented more filters when viewing my list of plants. Like filtering by type of plant, plants that have a heat warning for my area, plants that don't do well below a certain temperature, etc. Just a suggestion, but these guys get 5 stars from me! I use this app every day.

Plants fall in several categories for watering. Top 2 in dry, consistently moist, completely dry out, etc. This information should be on the watering reminder. You have to go to the plant information to figure it out. On some plants, it doesn't explain which of those categories. Also, I have the settings to fertilize when watering. I get a separate reminder for each. Another feature this app should offer is to pick preferred watering day. I have 23 plants and get reminders every day.

Ok. I was able to customize the room names based on the response from the developer. I was able to do all the things I was complaing about. I would just recommend to the developer they try to add a tutorial. Also, more plant types/varieties or the ability to add the exact scientific name (with appropriate recommendations on care etc.) It's easier than ever to find unusual varieties of plants.

So far, I like this app very much. Been using it for about a month, plants are doing well, even better tham they were. It correctly identified all my plants on the first try by picture, seems to be helping me water more judiciously, and is pretty unobtrusive on my phone. Just a single notification in my drop down bar if I have a task that day. It also seems to have correctly identified a sickness in one plant and is helping to keep it alive. Great for an amateur enthusiast like me.
