Leave a Review Specialty Produce
Unsure of the point
Talking about both free version and subscription of the app (not the website). This app seems to be, mainly, an encyclopedia for edible fruits/vegetables/roots/fungi (ie, Wikipedia, but with far less detailed information and not open to user contributions). In the app there is also a locator of sorts, but you can’t really customize where you want to search or how the information is sorted. For example, there is an option to let the app use your phone’s location, but there’s no way to know where it thinks you are or manually fine tune, and the list of produce it shows isn’t necessarily relevant anymore-it’s October as I type, all results, which were arbitrarily listed (not showing by closest to my location) were from July, and I can’t really get much detail beyond that in the app. I could go on, but suffice to say, even though I recognize that people don’t work for free, hence the subscription Specialty Produce wants users to pay, the annual subscription isn’t getting most (maybe Californians who have year round growing and farmer markets) anyone a useful service. Instead of this app, just go to their website if you find their efforts useful; there’s far more there and it’s for free.Show lessa.k.a.S.h.a.e
Amazing resource for fruits and vegetables
This app is an extremely comprehensive database about fruits and vegetables. Take the time to explore and you’ll see!Produce wrangler
Unhappy early supporter who has since deleted
I was an early supporter of this app & loved using it when it was free.
When it became subscription only, I expected that I would be ‘grandfather’ed in. But the app became useless to me and I’ve since deleted it.cherylll00
Produce Love
I find this app extremely useful and interesting. It really is like an Encyclopedia for produce. My favorite feature is finding recipes linked to each produce item. You can even save recipes in your own digital cookbook! :) if you are a produce lover or foodie, this app is worth every penny.kimberley #1
Now just a useless waste of space
The app has now become subscription and is now useless... one of those update bait and switch moves. I grow exotic/tropical fruits and I’ve had the app for years and I used to check it out every once and awhile, and liked it well enough I guess... there isn’t any information on it that is not available elsewhere on the internet.
So now it is just a brick taking up valuable space... DELETING IT!Show lessUnkaMunka
Specialty Produce
This is a review of the free limited version. I find it to be useful as a database of produce but extremely limited as a resource to the benefits of these fruits and vegetables. This version has most of the content locked. While it is understandable I feel the app could at least provide each produce listing with the essential heath ingredients it contains. That would make it more useful to the free crowd with information still available to the premium crowd.Show lessD. Hill

Hi D. Hill, Thank you for your feedback. We're always working to improve our App; all comments are much appreciated. We understand the value of the information you are requesting and though at this time it isn't available on the App, we encourage you to check out our website where the desired information can be found.One star for free, buy my subscription for more stars
Used to be great, now requires a subscription (even though last I checked there is still free info on the website).
I would have absolutely paid a one time fee for the app but a recurring subscription is a complete non-starter.Kfkdjxifodpajd
Developer Response
The same great content is still there. To sustain the research, quality writing, photography, and technology, we have decided to ask for $2.00/mo. We know some will not use the App enough to warrant subscription ownership, so we make our content available on the mobile web for free.Awesome
Lovin’ the app!
I work as a broker and this is extremely helpful.VegBoss
Nothing free to use
I did not want to provide any cc info. I just wanted to use the app. Utterly useless.fuguys2019
