Disappointed

This app was recommended by a garden blogger, but I’m very disappointed in the amount of variety of plants found in the app. When I search for daisies for example, 2 varieties is all that appear! And Shasta daisies (one of the most commonly known) are not one of them. I looked at app for 10 minutes and requested a refund but it’s “not eligible “ for one. Don’t do it- Google is a better resource in my opinion.

App fail

App no longer opens. Cannot access content that was paid for.

Like a textbook in my pocket

This is a very helpful app. I enjoy the many photos of different cultivars, Dr. A’s thoughts on the plants and the links to related videos. With this app, I am rarely caught off guard at the nursery when shopping for plants. It’s like having a textbook in my pocket.

I’d like my money back

I was expecting a comprehensive and interesting tool, and found so little as to be almost funny - and now it will not even open.

Please return my purchase price.

Great App from a trusted expert!

Dr. Armitage is the foremost expert in herbaceous perennials and makes his vast knowledge available to all through this wonderful app. Great detail on plants for beginners and advanced growers! Well worth every penny.

Covers many perennials and annuals shrubs, but not Exhaustive

I’m not familiar with Mr. Armitage, so my expectations were off. Someone recommended the app as an helpful guide to individual plants, but there were no trees, nor the usual evergreens like arborvitae or holly. Just two types of roses.

From a wealth of experience, the author recommends specific cultivars and solutions to a few specific gardening issues/categories such as drought-tolerant or deer-resistant plants.

The app works just fine on my iPhone 11.

Unable to use app

I just purchased your app for iPhone XR. Nothing will show up and app crashes.

Change font or background color, please

I can’t see any of the black words on the black background :(

Useful information from a trustworthy source

This app is great for anyone from beginner to experienced gardener. As a Master Gardener, I use this app and can confidently recommend it to others seeking answers. The app is easy to use and provides useful information from leaders in the gardening industry. Looking for pollinator plants? The app can help. Looking for deer resistant plants? The app can help. Want information about a particular plant? The app can help. Need to find a garden center near you? The app can help. These are just a few of the many resources provided by this app. Additional links are provided for further information. The information is updated as needed and new information is added periodically, such as the recently added Integrated Pest Management (IPM) section which provides sound guidance and practical advise to reduce the use of chemicals while having the garden of your dreams. I highly recommend this app!

Glitches

Just got this. It’s not compatible with dark mode on iPhone 11 (the text isn’t visible). The support link doesn’t work. The developer’s website doesn’t load. I haven’t looked at the app in depth but it looks good and comes from one of the best horticulturists anywhere. So I’m hopeful, but off to a rocky start with no apparent way to get the kinks worked out. Sigh.

Very informative and helpful!

Had some really good resources!

App not working anymore

All of a sudden the app is no longer showing any plant info in any section. Help!

What is going on with this app

Not able to use this app at all every time I open it it crashes. Is there going to be a upgrade of some kind.

Not compatible with iPhone Xr?

The App Store says this app is compatible with my new iPhone Xr, but when I open the app it just crashes. I used it before on my iPhone 6, and I continue to be able to use it on my iPad – but I am disappointed that I cannot use it on the Xr so that I can reference it while I am in the field. Also, the link to the developer site leads to a website that is not built yet, so I cannot directly contact the developer for a solution.

Great app

This is a really useful app for me! Like the pictures of each of the plants. My only suggestion would be a care section (ie can I cut down in fall, etc).

Big trouble

This app work well in the past, but now when I click on it, it comes up and then disappears immediately. I can’t seem to get any tech-support from the ‘app support’ button in the App Store

Great App

I have used this many times, and never failed to find it useful. I especially found the info on deer and pollinators very good!

Garden book in my phone

I love this app and recommend it to every gardener I know or anyone who has a gardener in their family. It’s a great gift. I’ve used the app since it’s launch and am amazed at the information, the updates and the wonderful photos. Thank you Allan. Really well done.

This is incredible!

Every time I open the app, new and updated information is at my fingertips. This is not simply generic empty info, as I see on other garden apps, but easily read, in-depth information. The topics on deer resistance and pollinators are great. And Dr A’s humor is also appreciated.

Armitage App

Not worth the money. Photos are very poorly done. No photos of different varieties of species. On a positive note the species descriptions are fairly lengthy and helpful. Overall I would rate the app 2 1/2.
