Great app for organizing and keeping track of bonsai and pots

I’ve been using this app for several months now and it has been great for keeping track of my bonsai, what I’ve done with them and where I got them. Similarly for tracking my pots. The only addition I would like is a bonsai stand tab to keep track of Jiita etc that I’ve purchased. Any chance of adding this in??

Great App for record keeping

New to bonsai but have found this app so useful, I particularly like having the photos to see progress. I use notes as the log as I didn’t realise it was there. It is a great app, thank you

L’idée est bonne mais

Pas mal de bug dans l’application. Un lien de contact pour les signaler serai pour commencer fortement souhaitable. Sinon bien dans l’ensemble

Update possible ?

Très bonne application !
Je propose une petite amélioration :
- permettre un tri inversé pour l’ID (donc les derniers arbres seront en haut)

C’est très dommage de ne pas retrouver les arbres sur iPad !!! L’application y est, mais pas synchronisée
