Version History of SOW

March 15, 2023

This is a major app update. This new installation will overwrite garden data from the previous version of the app. To retain your current planted garden data, we recommend making notes of current crop names and planting dates and manually reentering the data after the update is installed. This update includes planting data from the University of Kentucky, the ability to create multiple gardens, and a journal function to keep track of previously harvested crops, to name a few.

Reviews of SOW

Leave a Review SOW

Unusable on Mac
Says it works on my Mini, but the UI follows neither Apple's iOS nor Mac guidelines and basic things like dates can't be selected on the mac.

Impossible to get past the setup screen!

Your major update is terrible
This app I have used for the last 2 years, I will delete this app because of this update. It is no longer user friendly.

Doesn’t work
App froze after just two days. When opened, would only show a blank white screen. Tried to see if there was an update possibly making it do this, but no updates were available. Deleted.
