Not Ready for Primetime

Started out working well. Then daily average soil temperatures became stuck on the same soil temperature for days. Now the daily average temperature has been dropped from the app and no longer visible. The latest version has a new link to the shop feature where most of the granular fertilizer and pre-emergent products are “unavailable.” The product description says to click “email me when available”, which doesn’t exist, so impossible to click on. Not very useful for South Florida lawn care. Journal works but so does recording applications using my spreadsheet. The app has potential but communication about the changes has been poor and the new release is underperforming

Response from developer

Coracamino, thank you for the feedback. More products should now be available for you as shipments have come in. In regards to soil temp disappearing that bug has been resolved. Please update to the latest version 1.7.4 to check out those features and please let us know if you have additional feedback or questions.

Good so far

This app has being growing since its launch, but still missing one important thing for the new DIYers, having the temps to apply it’s good but also it should include the window time to apply for example (step 1- RGS when temps are 55 between November and January)

Great app but

This really is a great app! Easy to follow instructions and reminders. Would be awesome to add or select what your goals are for the lawn and a more advanced plan will be there auto-magically. Let’s say I really, REALLY want to throw er down, let me decide that and magical Allyn will tell me how to throw it and even dumb it down like, “you have GreenePunch, make sure you put it down at ...oz per 1k”. Just a thought but I love the app!

What ? completely off

The app thinks I am in the end of spring and is telling me to put fertilizer down when we are two weeks away from out first frost of the fall. It is giving random advice that doesn't apply to where you say you live. It never seemed to synchronize with my data or gave a real schedule of what should be done, but it advertises stuff for you to buy every time they get a chance,

Great start to this new app

Great start for this new app, lawn journal entries are easy to record. The store is very easy and quick to navigate and order. my orders showed up very quickly with no damage and packaged well to ensure that it showed up well and clean since they were liquids and granulars.

Very impressed

I really like the direction this app is going. I see some real potential in record keeping. However, I noticed a few quirks while entering data in the journal. It seemed entries could not be edited and when they were edited, they actually created a duplicate of the same entry - at least until the app was shut down and restarted. Then the duplicate entry was gone. Very odd. I would also like to see a wider variety of commercial fertilizers in the application list. For example: Estate is a very popular brand in the Chicago metro area. In any case, I really like this app and am looking forward to watching its development! Good work!!

KellerBrauer, Thank you so much for the review. We are working through those quirks that you mentioned. In regards to the additional products, we are happy to add them. If you send an email to shop@yardmastery.com we will be able to get those added for you.

Too early to rely on

I love LCN and really want to love this app. It’s just not very trustworthy right now. Entries I make sometimes appear double posted and sometimes vanish. It means I have to enter in the app AND in my original log on the notes app, defeating the purpose. Images I upload with my entries can’t be viewed in detail and are kept too small to be useful. There is no calendar view to see the bigger picture. The list view of entries don’t show any information beyond the title, so you have to open every entry to see what it is. The prompted products and rate for application are pretty limited and it’s not a function I find useful.

Here’s hoping that this is ironed out as it goes. For now I’m keeping my notes app updated instead.

rjsheets, Thank you so much for the review. We are constantly looking for ways to improve this beta product and appreciate this feedback. In regards to the products we would love to hear from you as to what products you would like us to add to the product library. We just added over 50 new products and if there is one you don't see please let us know.

Love the app

Been using since the beginning and I will say upfront that I love the app. My only suggestion/idea was to be able to choose which plan you are on (I.e not just warm season, but all liquid, or Florida blackout, or granular/liquid mixed) based on the guide, in that way all of the reminders on the home page are based on the plan that you choose to do. Otherwise, loving the app and it beats keeping a journal in a book, although I still want to in case something crashes and all data lost. Keep up the good work, no complaints here, only ideas.

k9vader, thank you so much for the review and feedback! Great suggestion! We will be implementing that in our roadmap!

3 Stars for participation

This application is a work in progress and currently feels like a sales tactic for specific product. If the developer changes a few things and adds to the application it could be worth while.

My recommendations
-select multiple lawn grasses. I have warm in the front and cool in the back. Make multiple lawns and allow user to name them ‘Front yard’ etc
-Rainfall tracker/when to self water. I don’t have an irrigation system, but I would like a notification when it’s time to apply water. It would be nice if it knew how long it had been since rain and it also knew what’s forecasted.
-remove product names. Notify me when to apply fert, pre emergent, water, grub control, insecticide, fungicide. Ask me how the lawn looks for post emergent control and prompt me to apply it if the yard needs it.

I will not continue using this application if they stick with their product line. Many of the products are either not something I would purchase or not something I would apply at that rate etc.

This application has serious potential and I hope the developers listen to their users.

Thank you!

Foodoodlinbooki, Thank you so much for that review. We actually have the feature of increasing our product library and allow the functionality of a user to populate a product that doesn't exist within that library on our roadmap. We appreciate that you see that we are currently in a beta and that this is only the beginning. We listen to, analyze and respond to literally every customer feedback, so thank you for your feedback.
