  • Love the Gardyn and the app!

    The app is very intuitive and easy to use. It guides you through how to use your Gardyn to its fullest potential!!

    Would highly recommend to anyone interested in fresh veg in your home year round!! 💛✨
  • Best investment I’ve made in years

    This has turned out to be one of the best things I’ve bought for myself and my family. Our diet has gone from hardly any vegetables to vegtables all the time, and vegetables that we actually like! It’s made us happier and healther.
  • Thinking I wasted aLOT of money

    Trying for several days to GET THIS ONLINE, the ‘chat’ is pointless as they say they will “get right back to you with assistance..” and NEVER DO!

    Think twice about purchasing
  • Gardyning for dummies

    I bought the Gardyn system because I have a black thumb and I kill all my plants. I need someone to tell me when to do what. You get a few hints and tips from Kelby but I wish it told me more. I would love to be able to enter the start dates of when I start my yCubes and have it tell me when to harvest and when the plant should be tossed. It’ll be more helpful to be able to keep track of each yCube individually and know what stage the plant is in. Maybe in a future update.

    We appreciate your suggestions and will pass them along to the team for further discussion. Stay tuned to future updates as we continue to make the app experience of Gardyn awesome!
  • Very Frustrating

    Every so often I get reminder to do whatever. The app suggests videos to watch; all I have to do is click on the arrow, except there is no arrow, and I can’t access the videos. By some inexplicable miracle, one video did play, but when I went to play it again to check something, it had disappeared.

    Additionally, Gardyn gives no instruction on how to purchase more plant food, or even any alternatives I could use. I don’t know what I’m going to do when the food runs out. You can choose your monthly allotment of ycups, but are given no direction on where to buy any accessories. The “shop now” button on their website only directs you to the system itself, nothing else.

    Thirdly, the advertise cherry tomatoes, but they don’t actually sell them. When I inquired about this I received some mealy-mouthed response about “testing” and that I could buy my own seeds, yet they continue to advertise them as an option on the site.

    Developer Response

    Hi Buckwinn, sorry for the late reply, but we hope we straightened out most of these issues for you by now. Cherry tomatoes are once again available to purchase and plant food has always been available for purchase in the yCube store in the app. You can purchase accessories on the website. Please contact our great customer support team if there is anything else we can help you with!
  • Slick, but poorly designed. Plant Babies suffer as a result.

    I will make this short but I think it’s a very important point for everyone to consider who is buying these Gardyn units which are quite an investment.

    The app is so poorly designed that the interface causes you to potentially kill your crop each time you open it. I wish I could share with you how many times I have inadvertently turned the lights off and also the water off without any intention of doing so. This has caused drastic results for my crops which were doing so well. Be very careful when touching anything on the homepage of the app. My water function had been turned off enough times for the plants to dry out when I hadn’t inspected them for a few days. The unit itself I is quite sound, but this application that it completely relies on is very unreliable, and very confusing. Instead of having a clear toggle switch for on and off or another mechanism to ensure the specific intention of a user,The vital functions of the product are disabled or enabled with the lightest finger touch.
  • Great pare with Gardyn

    I love my Gardyn and this app makes it so easy for me to check water, see my plants when I’m not home, turn the light on or off, order new cubes, or change the water or lights schedule. Highly recommend for any Gardyn user.
  • It ok.

    Just got an announcement that my Gardyn was sprouting. It’s been sprouting for days.

    My water level indicator still shows empty even though it’s full of water. Contacted Gardyn and they indicated it was an issue with the app.

    Overall I’m happy with the actual hydroponic garden. The time it takes customer service to respond is fairly good. Just disappointed the water sensor level isn’t working.

    Just bumped it up a star today. The water level still isn’t accurate. But I have grown to like the Kelby reminders for needed care.
  • Game-changing device and App!

    I own a Gardyn device, and the combination with this easy-to-use App is simplifying my life! The App is well designed and intuitive. The AI of the App makes my life so much easier and grows my plants like crazy!
