Excellent garden database !!!

Fantastic database for storing information about your plant collection. Enables you to completely personalise your categories and garden areas. Allows you to keep detailed records on each individual plant including where it was purchased, date and price, as well as images and information about treatments or fertilising, pruning, general notes etc. Helps keep my collection in order and keep track on the go to prevent buying the same plant multiple times!

I tried to like this app...

I tried to like this app. It had almost everything I wanted in a gardening app and only a few bugs here and there that needed to be fixed. The developer was responsive even, but he really hasn't had the time to devote to updating the app with his landscaping business taking off every year. As it stands, I have been waiting since 2015 for updates and I haven't received any. My biggest complaint was having the ability to save my database in the event of catastrophe and little bugs, like having data I deleted actually remain deleted. Or being able to copy/paste in certain locations, having a "search" function, or just being able to make notes about my entire garden (instead of having to do it for each specific plant). Other than these little things, this is a really good app and could be great with some minor development.

Thanks you for the feedback. I think other potential users will find your information very valuable. If you have any suggestions on how to make the app even better, please let me know.

Excellent App

This is a great organized app if you want to keep track of the plants you bought for your home or office garden.

You can add loads of info and even save pics of your plants.

Well done and easy to use.

Booo!

This app does access the information you need for your plants. It's an empty journal that the user has to propagate. I'm looking for an app that has access to information on all the plants I have and can tailor the information for my growing zone (Florida is much different in growing seasons!). I want database of information and a calendar that tells me when I should plant, prune, fertilize, etc. Why is that so hard to find? Wasted money on this one!

So sorry you didn't understand that this app contained an empty database for users to fill with their own plants. I tried to explain that concept as best I could in the description of the app and with our screen captures.

Plant list

Great app for your garden, love the fact you can add pic and information on any plants you like, building up seasonal information, or even planing a new planting lay out in your garden, or just plant collecting your favourite ones, visuals are really good.

Put the app on both iPad and iPhone, didn't work properly on iPad but did on iPhone so loaded all my data onto phone. Did the latest update and it just crashes all the time, won't even load. Reinstalled to iPad and have entered data so far so could but can't use the iPhone one. Would be a great app if it did not crash.

Waste of money. Truly blank pages with no format. Ridiculous. Just downloaded and will now delete!!

So sorry you did not understand that this app design was based on a blank database that users design and fill based on the plants in their own garden. I tried to explain that in the description area on the app store and via screen captures.

Great

Exactly what I was looking for as I want a database of only the plants in my garden.

Really disappointed, the camera does not work, if you try and take a photo whilst in the app, it turns itself off. It looses data you have entered so it is very frustrating.
And for gardeners who know their plants then the categories are just weird.
Eg in the perennials category annuals is listed as an option, makes no sense at all

Thank you for the valuable feedback. I have corrected those issues in version 3.0. Please make sure to download the latest version.

Frustratingly disappointing

Great idea, except I just spent the last hour and a half adding plants to the My Garden function, clicked on the search bar, and to my surprise the app crashed taking ALL of my painstakingly inputted information with it.

Thanks for the feedback. I understand your frustration. This has been fixed in our newest version. Please keep in mind as with any program, after a few indexed items have been added, it might be safer to exit the app, to make sure the info is saved before adding more items. I wouldn't want any user to work for hours, without exiting the app, with the fear of losing all data input. Best practices would indicate to exit after an hour or two, just to be safe...
