It promises to help me plan, so how do I see the month ahead in table form? I can only see how to plan my week by scrolling through from day to day - surely there is a full table somewhere? ### 2/5 — Localização *2022-10-20* Não sei se o aplicativo está regulado para meu hemisfério e localização e além disso não encontro forma clara de ver ou mudar essa informação, gerando insegurança nas recomendações ### 2/5 — Ich verstehe leider kein Niederländisch *2022-09-12* Schade, dass die App nur 2 Tage auf Deutsch war. Jetzt ist sie trotz erneutem Installieren auf Niederländisch. Man kann die Sprache auch nirgends einstellen. So bringt mir das nichts! ### 2/5 — Plötzliche Sprachänderung *2021-10-20* Tätigkeiten plötzlich nur noch auf niederländisch??? Mag die App an sich, aber so wird sie für mich unbrauchbar. Bitte wieder ändern. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your message and for flagging this issue. This issue has now been corrected with a new update which is available to download on the store. Thank you for your patience! ### 2/5 — Long term user *2021-06-11* This app was easier to use and gave far more info at a glance before it was “improved”. I’m thinking of moving back to paper version from next year ### 1/5 — Der Gedanke ist gut... *2020-05-23* Leider bekomme ich zukünftige Infos nicht angezeigt, trotz mehrfacher Wiederherstellung bestehender Käufe. ...mit nem iPhone XS komplett auf neuestem Stand... Und auch das Probeabo sollte korrekt funktionieren. ### 2/5 — Bring Back the Old App! *2020-04-26* Bring back the Interface of the old App! Why did you change it? The other version was sooooo much easier to see the information. At a glance I could see if it was Transplanting time. Now I have scroll down open the drop down and see if it is that time of the month. Also now the times are so hard to read. The circle was perfect, at a glance I could see what I could do that day. Now you guys make me think too much. You guys have definitely gone backwards. Why fix what is not broken! ### 1/5 — Terrible. *2020-03-11* Wants £5.99 subscription to give you any information at all. At least the old one gave you information for that day without you having to subscribe. **Developer response:** Hello, it is free on the Biodynamic Gardening Calendar app to view information for today, but you have to take out a subscription to view future activities. I'm sorry the free information wasn't working properly for you. Please get in touch with us at bdgardencal@florisbooks.co.uk and we'd be happy to help. ### 1/5 — rip off *2020-02-28* this app is a total rip off if you want any info have to pay which they don’t tell you when you download the app unless i am doing something wrong! **Developer response:** Hello, you can view information for today for free on the app, but you have to take out a subscription to view future activities. I'm sorry the free information wasn't working properly for you. Please get in touch with us at bdgardencal@florisbooks.co.uk and we'd be happy to help. ### 2/5 — Big changes from old app *2020-02-23* But why? No longer can you see at a glance the transplanting times (signifying lunar activity). Yes you can filter for it but at the expense of everything else. The coloured dot system is not nearly as clear as to what a particular day or week may hold. It seems that nothing has been added to improve the app. No extra information on planetary aspects or moon phases. The filter system sort of works but there doesn’t really appear to be a need for it IMHO. Last year I found it a useful pocket companion to the Maria Thun calendar but it is now more expensive and less user friendly. Also forcing the user to opt in by making it useless without signing up is bad etiquette. I’m opting out. ### 2/5 — Unfortunately, less helpful than previous version this replaced *2020-01-11* The Maria Thun Biodynamic Calendar of previous years offered far more interactive and helpful information with greater clarity than this current version, which seems to be entirely dumbed down. The loss of the daily activity time dial, and the clear distinctions on both the daily and weekly views is unfortunate. The little dots under the date, and the vague start times require more thought and examination, when I was used to being able to quickly take a glance when planning the day’s activities. Please return to the previous version. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poorly designed *2025-11-29* This app does not include the southern hemisphere. Why would I bother? Pity, it’s a good app but seasons are opposite. ### 1/5 — Subscription stopped working suddenly *2025-10-20* Used this app for years without problems. All of a sudden, I can no longer access any future dates and subscription information is not accessible. My current sub does not expire until end of December. Clearly something has broken. Very disappointing. **Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing an issue with our BD Garden app. Please get in touch with us at bdgardencal@florisbooks.co.uk and we'll be happy to help. ### 1/5 — Maria Thun nicht übereinstimmend *2025-09-23* Deswegen werde ich Abo kündigen. ### 1/5 — Not enough info *2025-03-05* Cant find what you need when you need it ### 1/5 — Viel zu wenig Details *2021-10-31* Ich kann leider weder das Tierkreiszeichen sehen, vor dem der Mond steht, noch die Mondphase noch welche Planeten gerade eine Rolle spielen. Das finde ich einen gravierenden Mangel und deswegen kündige ich das Abo wieder. Wenn Sie mich als Kunden wieder gewinnen wollen, teilen Sie mir gerne mit, wenn all diese Information jetzt in der App vorhanden sind! ### 1/5 — Niederländisch? *2021-10-14* Alle To Dos sind plötzlich auf niederländisch im Kalender?! Bitte wieder umstellen!!! **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your message and for flagging the issue. This issue has now been corrected with the latest update of the app which is ready to download. Thank you for your patience! ### 1/5 — Pricey *2021-07-04, version 1.4.4* Can’t see any value in this app. Needs moon constellation to be of any use. Also unclear if works for S hemisphere as cannot change location. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-05-13* After getting the app I found that I can learn much more from YouTube. As soon as you download the app you can’t see anything unless you agree to a subscription. Not a good practice to hide your fees. ### 1/5 — Superficial *2021-02-05, version 1.4.4* Hideous app. Bring back the hard copy from Mathias Thun. ### 1/5 — Unless you pay it’s no good *2020-07-15* You can’t really get anything from it unless you pay. It didn’t seem to change for Southern Hemisphere and I couldn’t find anywhere do it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super App *2021-10-23* Benutze sie regelmäßig. Obwohl ich nur einen kleinen Garten habe, habe ich eine regelmäßige reichliche Ernte. Vielen Dank **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your message and for flagging the issue. This issue has now been corrected with the latest update of the app which is ready to download. Thank you for your patience! ### 5/5 — Love the app *2021-04-01, version 1.4.4* Unfortunately I didn’t experience the first app. So I really don’t know what I’m missing. But just the same this app is very helpful in planning your BD activities. Better than having to go back and forth to the physical Maria Thun calendar. Nice to have it in your back pocket. ### 4/5 — A very useful app *2025-09-18* We have a small orchard that we have planted over the last few years, always using this as a guide, with great success; we will be renewing this app annually as it is such a help. ### 4/5 — Language selection *2021-01-18* It's in German now. How do I change language to English? **Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry you're having an issue with the app. Our app is available in English, German and Dutch depending on the store you make your download from. Can you get in touch with us at bdgardencal@florisbooks.co.uk and we'll be happy to help? ### 4/5 — Ausbaufähig *2020-07-31* Wenn irgendwann ein Update kommt, wünsche ich mir folgendes: Die Farben dürfen etwas kräftiger werden, dass man die Tage eindeutiger erkennt und ich fände es auch toll, wenn man eintragen könnte, was man vorhat zu pflanzen. Evtl. inkl. Verknüpfung mit dem eigenen Kalender? Schön wäre auch, man könnte seinen Pflanzplan eintragen. Aber das sind Wünsche, die es komfortabler machen würden. Grundsätzlich genügt es natürlich auch, wenn man weiß, was man vor hat und sich den entsprechenden Tag raussucht. ### 4/5 — A few glitches but customer service was excellent and issue resolved *2020-06-04* Was really pleased to find this helpful looking app and thought £6 was a reasonable price for the convenience. Signed up and paid. After the 30 day ‘free trial’ all forward planning data disappeared. I got in contact with the provider and they were brilliant, looked into the problem and put out a new version. Downloaded it today and looks great. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Sehr gelungen *2019-10-09* Die neue App finde ich sehr gelungen. Übersichtlich, leicht zu bedienen. Vor allem die Filter Funktion kommt mir als Imker sehr entgegen. 4 Sterne deshalb, um den Anspruch weiter so gut zu sein, erhalten bleibt. ### 3/5 — Keine Alternative zur Buch-/Papier-Ausgabe *2021-10-29* ich wollte die App, um die gesamten kosmischen und Planetenstände zu erfahren… Diese sind in der Buchform enthalten, hier aber nicht… (Oder irgendwo versteckt, wo ich sie bisher noch nicht gefunden habe…) Schade, denn ich wollte wissen wie einfach die Stimmung im Kosmos und der Natur ist und nicht nur einen Aussaat-Kalender haben… (Ja, ich habe das Abo, also dieses Manko ist nicht nur in der Testversion.) ### 3/5 — Wirklich nur zum Gärtnern *2020-10-12* Man kann die Mondzeichen überhaupt nicht erkennen, nicht mal Vollmond oder Neumond ist eingetragen und es wird einem tatsächlich nur angezeigt ob man Frucht-Wurzeln etc. Tage hat. Eine eigenständige Nutzung der Daten (zum Beispiel Haare schneiden an Jungfrau-Tagen) wird damit unmöglich. Ich fände es super wenn einfach dieKalender Seiten aus dem Papieraussaattage-Heft als PDF noch dabei wären, dann würde ich das sofort kaufen, da es auch umweltschonender ist als jedes Jahr das Heft. Das Design finde ich sehr ansprechend und ich würde mich Mega freuen, wenn das ganze noch weiter entwickelt wird. Denn es hat bestimmt eine Zukunft. ### 3/5 — Basis Informationen aber nicht mehr *2020-03-06* Ich würde mir ebenfalls wünschen dass mehr Informationen aus der gedruckten Version auch in der App zu finden wären. Vollmond, Neumond, Neigungen, Pflanzzeit Indikator etc --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
