## Most critical reviews (3 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-20*

Don’t use all good things locked behind a payway 1 starrrrr

### 3/5 — good app but flows are inefficient

*2026-08-20*

the app is great but many common flows like recording light etc take way too many clicks and hopping between UIs. the app needs a UX designer touch. happy to revisit the rating hopefully soon when they got fixed.

### 5/5 — Essential app for plant hobbyists!

*2026-07-07*

These are the types of developers we need to support!!

This app has it all! There’s reminders and logs for fertilization, watering, repotting, pest treatments, and tons of other stuff! It also has a built-in light meter, and details about how much light each plant in your collection needs. It will give you advice based on your inputs! I have been using it for 1 day and have already made changes in where my plants live in my house.

Very impressive and intuitive with many functionalities, all in one user-friendly app :) Usually to get these tools you have to download separate apps for each one or different physical products! 

Also, two weeks free for the light insights is really really cool. It keeps this knowledge accessible to all plant hobbyists at any level and breaks the idea that you need expensive tools to grow your plants well. Good on the developers <3 I will recommend this to all plant lovers I know!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much, we're glad your enjoying the app so far.
