### 4/5 — Overall great

*2021-04-10, version 1.2.4*

The only inly two issues I have is...
1. I wish it would have the best times to lay stone/gravel.
2. I wish it would send notifications for specific dates.

### 4/5 — 👌

*2021-02-08, version 1.2.4*

So far so good

### 4/5 — Great app

*2020-06-30, version 1.2.4*

Love the app, just wish it told me when to set eggs to hatch. That’s the only thing it’s missing.

### 4/5 — I like it

*2020-05-02, version 1.2.4*

Good info and funny stuff too.  Religious Holiday section needs factual updates tho, it’d be fine with me if Easter happened monthly because, you know, chocolate.

### 5/5 — A small purchase for good knowledge

*2019-07-28, version 1.2.2*

I needed this for looking up planting times, and the solstices and equinoxes

### 5/5 — Great app with one issue

*2019-05-07, version 1.2.2*

App performs as promised

Update. Please check the religious holidays. Easter and Holy Week are listed in three different months for 2019

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2019-03-05, version 1.2.2*

It’s very accurate & entertaining!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-02-11, version 1.2.2*

An option to remove Uranus Neptune and Pluto from the Planisphere would be good since those are not really ‘visible’ but it is a great app and highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Smooth & Ad-free

*2019-02-04, version 1.2.2*

I lost my farmers almanac which was 6.99 at cvs. I really didn’t want to waste more money on another copy. The “ old famers almanac “ is filled to the brim with sad advertising for love potions and other useless money grabs. I wish this app had its own paperback book. I love having something physical in my hands but this app is much better quality and you get so much more bang for your buck.

### 5/5 — Grandma.

*2018-12-22, version 1.2.2*

This is pretty much Grandma serving you a plate of food.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2018-11-30, version 1.2.2*

This is a Great App and full of Information.

### 5/5 — One of the best

*2018-04-10, version 1.2.2*

Get it. Good app

### 4/5 — Good app

*2018-04-07, version 1.2.2*

Good app, reliable, varied sections, quirky art.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t show tides as advertised

*2020-08-15, version 1.2.4*

Can I get a refund ?

### 1/5 — Lame

*2019-11-20, version 1.2.4*

Not much here. Pretty much just boring. You can bookmark much more relevant and accurate places in 20 seconds. Old fashioned, clunky, and way too lame. Avoid.

### 2/5 — Not for iPad mini

*2022-01-03, version 1.2.4*

Size for the iPad mini is way to small.  Does not fit to full size .

### 2/5 — Good concept, not what I am looking for

*2020-04-08, version 1.2.4*

I do a lot of gardening, and I’m looking for an app that helps me plan ahead. This app offers a five day forecast, but you have to go day by day to see future dates. Also, religious holidays are inaccurate (i.e. Holy Week and Easter are listed from February to August). I saw this in previous reviews and hope the developer had fixed it. Unfortunately, I have not seen the developer respond to any of the reviews, and the problem remains unfixed.

### 2/5 — Not useful

*2019-03-03, version 1.2.2*

For a paid app it’s not very useful

### 2/5 — Interesting but sells adds via weather inbox

*2016-07-18, version 1.1*

I was excited to have an almanac app until I realized my "weather updates" from it were actually an email inbox full of ads! Say yes to the app, no to the weather addition. This company should sever their connection to avoid bad reviews...this is a nightmare, I have no idea how to get rid of this additional inbox!

### 2/5 — Super disappointing

*2016-02-22, version 1.0*

I'm a huge fan of the farmers almanac and loved the old app. As a farmer, I use this primarily as a weather forecast app, and the old one was the most accurate one on the market. This one only shows you info for the current day/evening. It will show you an icon (sun/rain, etc) for the 5 day forecast, but not even a high/low temp reading, let alone any wind predictions or times for rain. Also far more difficult to manage and understand than the old one. Even the weather, you can jump forward a week, a month, or a year at a time, but no other increment, so you have to do it week by week or month by month instead of just getting a long range forecast like in the old app. HUGE downgrade for the weather part of this at least. Not worth the money at all if that's what you use it for.

### 3/5 — Dark mode?

*2020-12-12, version 1.2.4*

I just got the app, the information is very cool and well compiled. But I switched to dark mode, it worked for about one minute and now it’s glitched back to light mode no matter how I adjust settings. What’s going on?

### 3/5 — Update...meh

*2016-02-17, version 1.0*

So I decided to spend the money and upgrade because I liked the original Almanac a lot. 

Even though the update looks nice, I kind of wish I didn't spend the money to update. The changing of dates is frustrating and I feel like I can't find things as easy as the original app. 

I'm sure it will get better with updates but as it stands right now, it's not worth the money to upgrade from the original.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2022-01-29, version 1.2.4*

If I knew more, this might have 5 stars. Or if there were links to tutorials.

It's great to open and see a little of what is happening overhead.

### 5/5 — it’s my go to app for gardening

*2023-07-02*

I’ve used this app for years, and I depend on it to align my planting to the moon cycle. It works, despite the changing weather patterns.  I am so grateful the developer makes it available to all of us and keeps improving it.

### 5/5 — App

*2022-07-26, version 1.2.4*

I just needed to see sun, moon and planet action, news papers are not any good, perfect!

A very good ‘Goto’ almanac.
Thank you!

### 5/5 — Easy To Use

*2020-06-06, version 1.2.4*

In the past I have always looked forward to going to my local Tractor Supply to purchase the Farmers Almanac.  I have a friend that told me about the app and that I should try it out.  
I love how easy it is to use!  I’m hooked.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2020-05-26, version 1.2.4*

All the right features, presented well, tuned w notes to whatever locale in which one resides. Amazing quantity of monthly info in one place. Companion Plants feature. The app ROCKS!

Wonderful simple to use app with all the info as advertised.

### 5/5 — Great app for the price!

Outstanding app, I’m learning a lot!

### 5/5 — Great little app!🤗

*2020-04-05, version 1.2.4*

It's a great way to remember an "old world" time. You can tell the developer took care in making a nice app and Free! 
Thank you!

### 5/5 — Smooth and easy

*2020-01-18, version 1.2.4*

Just a great go to almanac when I’m unsure of when to trim or plant. Thank you for a smooth easy to navigate journey. Would be nice to have the ability for landscape mode. But that’s so minor I still give 5 stars.
