Update isn’t as useful!
I thought my Lettuce Grow app was broken. I used to be able to review the latest shipment of seedlings. Previous shipments were also available for review. Now the “Latest shipment” is the first shipment ever placed, from 15 weeks ago. It’s one big sideways scrolling list. All shipments combined. It was more useful when broken into the historical orders by date. When I click on the “more info” link below a seedling, the screen fills with a long error message and then the app quits.
Also the alerts are useless. One big list that does nothing.
It had to be broken. So I deleted the app and reinstalled it. Same problems.
Then I realized that the app had updated to a new version 3 days before.
I don’t appreciate this update. It is buggy and far less logical than the previous version.
The one request I sent in doesn’t seem to be added. When browsing seedlings to add to the shopping cart, if you view the details of a seedling, there is no obvious, easy way to go back one step to the list you were on, so you can continue to browse other seedlings. You have to go all the way back to the “Shop” link and choose seedlings again, then bypass all the annoying bundles, just to get back to the available seedlings list.

Always accessing camera and slow
The app is always accessing the camera in the background while it’s open, not just when you move to the part of the app to scan the plants.
Also it’s just slow.

That’s Not It.
It’s not time… It’s not a Merigold! It is some kind of an evergreen hedge! I wish it were Thyme. I am not giving my email address out to a company I don’t know. So I can’t send a picture in for analyst. I do know that what I am trying to identify is a common shrub.
It’s okay.
Pros: I like that it has my seedlings that are shipped on the app. I love the recipe guide at the bottom of each plant page! The plant info page is just top notch all around!!!
Cons: the Plant ID is so-so, sometimes you get the right plant, sometimes it tells you your plant is 3 different plants that it clearly is not, sometimes it can’t identify the plant. (I have plant labels, so I’m not worried about it). This is just a super downer when it’s the biggest feature of the app.
The customer help pop up is just in the way. If I need help I can go to the website or through the drop down tab for contact.
The welcome message is the DEATH OF ME!!!! No matter how many times I get rid of it, it ALWAYS comes back!!! Like I’ve had my planter and this app forever ... STOP WELCOMING ME!

Farmstand owner
I already bought the 36 plant farmstand and am currently growing. So I am a current customer.
In short, this app is a big disappointment. For those who want to know more, read on...
I didn’t label my seedlings as I placed them in the farmstand, because I knew there was a “Plant ID” tool in the app, unfortunately for me this feature has proved inaccurate on every single one of the seedlings I scanned.
There is a pop-up/chat thing in the app that interrupts me over and over (and over and over) asking “Hi there 👋 Quick question. Are you looking to grow your own food?”
Duh...that’s why I spent $649 on one of your farmstands. Stop asking. I find this to be a major annoyance. Is this app meant to help your PAYING customers? or is it a sales tactic? To combine the two and not differentiate between someone who is merely browsing your app and someone who has already paid you for a farmstand, is foolish.
Even the plant ID “feature” only works if seedlings are IN the farmstand, based on your responses to people saying that feature is constantly incorrect, so it’s not like that “tool” is for anyone EXCEPT your farmstand owning customers, so stop with the interrupting pop-up. Just. Stop.
When I shop for seedlings on your app, and I click on an individual seedling to get more information, there’s no way to go “back”...My only option to get back is to click the main “shop” button, Which takes me back to the top of the seedlings list, and generates yet another pop-up/chat window asking “Hi there 👋 Quick question. Are you looking to grow your own food?” (Again...stop. Please.)
To shop for supplies is hit or miss. The links for the dolly and the 3rd party lights don’t work, I haven’t tried the others. So, I guess it’s just “miss”.
I find the app frustrating, annoying and only marginally useful. At least it was free, unlike my farmstand and seedlings.... I’ve only had the farmstand for a few weeks, so the jury is still out. The seedlings took 5 days to arrive from the time they shipped, more than half we’re wilted and I’ve lost now 20% of them in their first 3 weeks...the jury is still out for your seedling supplier, too.
To sum it up in one word: Unimpressed

Ap needs work
App is knock off of web site so that annoying sales rep popup asking to chat interferes with what you are trying to do. Plant recognition tool is psycho. Told me my tomato plant was 4 other different plants. Tried it with 4 other Lettucegrow seedlings and wrong everytime.
bad prediction
it thought my plants like my aloe vera were basil
Don’t bother
I purchased this app because it focused more on edible gardens. I tried the identification app for a plant I sowed from seed that I forgot to place a marker for and could not provide a result. So I went to the plants that I know what they are and was provide wrong results- garlic = bunching onions, bell pepper = Thai basil. This app is designed to sell you the farm stand tower and supplies to go with it. If your interested in the farm stand then this app might be for you, otherwise don’t bother.

Terrible
Everything I pointed to was some of basil or thyme, it called a lilac tree basil.
Zero correct plant identifications out of 22
Never written a review before, zero correct plant id’s out of 22, not good!
