Reviews for Yard Mastery: DIY Lawn Care

Buggy app. I really wanted to like this app but it’s nearly unusable. As long as you’re adding products in their list, it works fine. If you add anything in the “Other” category and try to change the description, it won’t save the information you put in. It just goes back to “Other”. Very frustrating.

Nice app. Like the electronic journal but the journal entries need to be editable and deletable. I accidentally ended up with extra entries on the same day as I was figuring out how to use the app and now I can’t remove them. But I don’t expect that to be a problem going forward now […]

Love where the app is going. Would wish to see a 5 day soil temp reading as well as current temperature, and recommended waterings for healthy grass, both in shade and full sun, also a weed identification chart, as well as grass identification chart. Maybe a resources section. I think it’s a great start and […]

Last year the app was great. Started using it again this spring and I no longer like it or use it. The calendar function is now bad. I used to be able to open the calendar, go into list view and I could scroll through the days and see everything I did on any day. […]

I’ve noticed a few things that need a couple tweaks. The “next application” for pre emergents on the main page. If you already put this in a journal entry with a mow or another fertilizer application, it makes a redundant journal entry. It would be nice if you would be asked if you want to […]

I am super glad Allyn Hane and his team are developing this app! It is going to be fantastic!! Only things I think could be improved at the moment is the drop-down menus and what you can choose. I.e. for post-emergent I recently just sprayed image weed killer (generic post-em) and that type of thing […]

Good app to keep a journal, but unfortunately the journal is mostly where I see issues. After the revamp done to the journal, only a small line to see each date, annoying and I own one of the biggest screen phones available, should’ve left that alone. Then if you look at previous history, when you […]

love the journal. I make entries on-the-fly for mowings and product applications. I don’t have to remember when I did something, I can just look it up. The soil temps in the app let me know when to lay down my preemergent. The app reminds me of appropriate times to apply fertilizers and other products. […]

Just started (Day One) with the app and it’s useful. I love that I can have my journal and the soil temp in the palm of my hand. I need to download the app on my tablet as well – I hope that the account I created with my phone syncs with my tablet. Otherwise […]

Easy app to use and navigate. They’ve worked out the major issues from previous reviews, as I haven’t had any. Ordering from the app is simple as well. I ordered the Bio-Stem pack and was very surprised my items were shipped within a few hours. No stickers, but they were sold out– which is probably […]

The application is great for tracking your home lawn care. I use it mostly for tracking when I put my applications down and record weather data and ground temps if needed. I would have given the Yardmastry app a higher rating but I’ve come to notice a few bugs. The journal entry feature, the Months […]

I like the ability to add pictures to the journal. When takling trouble spots in the lawn that don’t seem to improve, it is nice to objectively look back and observe the slow changes over time. What I find frustrating is that I have had a Yard Mastery shopping account that will not for some […]

Good concept, but a lot of problems. You have to log in every time you change pages on the app or look at another app. This is annoying. The calendar notices you set will just change to current date instead of tracking when things were done. I totally understand pushing your products, but let us […]

So far so good! I understand the app is in early beta. I like the digital journal as well as the average soil temp. However, deleting a journal entry is possible by swiping it to the left. But there is no indication that that is what you have to do. So some folks may not […]

I like the enhancements being made lately so look forward to the continued development. I tried to upload pictures today and it wouldn’t let me tag multiple pictures at the same time and upload them all at once so that was a bit of a bummer. I am using some non YM products and I […]

Good app. Something I noticed – When you go in and create a journal entry, it creates it twice. Had to delete one of them. Not sure if others have this problem as well. After you enter all your data in the journal entry, what action actually creates the journal entry is unclear. There is […]

Lots of sales pitching , buy this , buy that. I didn’t like how you couldn’t back out of the application by using the usual home screen arrow. You have to press the home button to get out of the app. Any app that doesn’t allow me to back out/close it I usually end up […]

I used to love the app until they updated it this spring. There have been almost no good ratings since then. I can no longer view the calendar or my journal. I used to add other things to the calendar such as when I sprayed my home for bugs, or applied additional fungal or iron […]

Requires sign-in almost every time I open the app. Often when already wearing ppe and need to log chemical application. Always pushing their own products. Missing a log of the big name competitors for application tracking. Rate logging and product logging is sub-par. Sadly there aren’t many if any other apps out there for residential […]

When trying to order a product like fertilizer it does not show you the price unless you add it in the cart. Then after you purchase the fertilizer or any product it does not tell you at all the estimated time of arrival and the app makes you download another app shop to supposedly track […]
