OK App but could improve
The app works reasonably well but is a little basic in its functionality. Some issues on iPad such as after completing a field, the ability to go back to the catalogue is not there till you open another field. It would also be useful to be able to hide some fields that are never used.
In addition, the following would be useful:
* Being able to see log entries against the orchid
* Being able to copy a record and amend to save having to add in the exact same detail for a Paph or Cattleya, for example, each time you log a new orchid
* A search function on genus, grex, etc rather than having to scroll down each time
* More structured options for watering, fertilising and potting medium
Hopefully there will be some added features over time.Show lessFieldofPoppies
What I was looking for
Great app, it has amazing features, I would have a couple of ideas that would suit growers with lots of plants/ grow areas and have messaged the creator about it. I love the app and it is very usable.Sucka99

Really love the app
I really love the app and would give it 5 stars but there are missing orchid types in the watering choices, and no option to add them either, for example, Grammatophyllum and Cymbidium. Thank you for a very useful app.Jimh5
Great little album for your orchid collection
Be sure to safe your results. I almost lost my entire collection except I found a backup. It was old but better than nothing.lanedesign
Needs a few tweaks
For those of us who own multiple of the same species, a swipe left or right duplicate entry would make the app more efficient and useful. Having to re-enter the same data is time-consuming. Also, it would be nice if the vendor/acquired from created a database wheel to reduce typing the same vendor name. Lastly, there is not an option for Hanging Basket. Should be added in the same section as: Potted, Mounted, etc.
Overall, a good pocket app for use when shopping at a show.Show lessShadytrake
Not an orchid identifier app.
I was looking for an app to help me identify my orchids. This isn’t that. I wasted my money. Now I’m stuck with it I guess.Nonni1957

App is good to go. Been using it since 2019 and have no problems. Only thing can an update be added to where this is linked to a calendar. Only way to know when I need to water my plants is if I open the app. Linking it to my calendar would be more helpful for me.My Ochid Albim
Not too good
I bought this app several months ago but haven’t really tried to use it until this past weekend. It’s been constantly crashing! I’m having to enter the data several times for each orchid! My iPad is relatively new and I recently downloaded the latest IOS version. The app is super glitchy and data entry is clunky.Show lessChezcabellon

A great phone app for the window hobbiest with a 1/2 dozen plants up to the serious grower with 100’s of orchids. Way too much detail to keep track of for every plant, but just use what features you like. Having up to two photos per plant stored in the app and not cluttering up your phone photo library is a great space saver. I’ve used the app over 5 years now.Show lessBob the Orchid Grower
Developer Response
Thanks, Bob! You can actually have as many photos as your device will hold associated with each orchid. Tap on the orchid from the main list, then tap on the Photos button on the top-right. From there you can add more photos and rearrange them by tapping and holding on the photo, then dragging to the new position. While only the first couple will appear on the main info screen, you can have others appear in those spots by dragging them into the first or second position on the Photos screen. This same approach also works on the Log Info screen.
