J’espère que la base de données sera augmentée. Il serait intéressant que l’utilisateur puisse proposer des arbres absents pour les faire ajouter. Il serait aussi intéressant de diviser les espèces au lieu d’avoir comme par exemple épinette, de les diviser selon s’il est blanc, noir ou rouge. Une communauté aussi serait une bonne idée afin de partager. Merci pour la belle application au final ### 5/5 — Bonsai People Need This App *2024-09-23, version 3.8.0* I have been exploring Bonsai for the last few years and found this app to help me keep track of my trees. I love it. Simple to use. Customer Service is excellent. Yesterday (Sunday) I was logged out and was not getting the code sent to my email. I sent an email and it was responded ti with in a few hours. We figured out the code was going to my junk mail, so I added to my contacts, problem solved. If you have a few trees, or a lot of trees, you need this app. It also has great info about the trees. All in one app. Just buy it, you will not regret it. ### 5/5 — From a bonsai afficionado *2024-09-17, version 3.8.0* Great app! Just what i have been waiting for, was hesitant at first thinking it will be another clunky app and laborious to use. But after watching Bjorn’s review in youtube I got hooked and after trying it found super easy to use. Looking forward to new improvements and updates. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-09-15, version 3.8.0* Such a brilliant tool and will be so helpful with trees , varieties, potting schedules, and lots more . I love it and will be upgrading to the pro ! Great job guys ### 5/5 — Enjoying this app *2024-09-04, version 3.8.0* I’m using the app to help me remember when to fertilize, prune and wire. It’s also a great place to store photos of the development of the tree. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2024-07-02, version 3.6.4* Had watched the Bonsai empire YouTube channel for a while, downloaded the app recently and it is a fantastic tool. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Love this app, *2024-05-25, version 3.4.1* Worth the money. Just the kind of thing I’ve been looking for. Requests: 1 it would be great if trees could be in multiple collections and /or we could add searchable tags. I would love to have the same tree in my Native Californian collection and my main collection, or if I could search by native, or by stage of development. I tried entering the info into various Tree Info fields but only the name and species and custom species seem to be included in the search. 2. A field for a link to more info would be great, esp for species that are not already in the catalog, so I could link over to the site I used for info. If I put it in the Notes field it is visible on the tree info page which is great, but not clickable or even copiable. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2024-05-20, version 3.4.1* As a beginner this app is so helpful, tells me everything i need to know about the bonsai along with useful information. One improvement i could suggest is make a difference between checking for watering and actually watering the bonsai, as sometimes the bonsai doesnt need watering however it says this was when it was last watered. Would definitely reccomend this app!! ### 5/5 — Excellent!! *2024-05-05* Excellent App! I would like to make a note or a title in each picture. I’m sure it will the best app for bonsais. I suggest to have like a partner program for a bigger and faster publicity. **Developer response:** Excellent suggestion, its on our roadmap to include so stay tuned :) ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-04-19, version 3.2.0* Finally, a simple and useful bonsai app to keep track of my trees. Love the UX, simple and minimalistic. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Killed mine *2025-12-25, version 5.1.0* I did everything it told me to do yet my bonsai died ### 2/5 — Let Down *2026-08-15, version 6.5.1* Didn’t have a single tree species I use. ### 2/5 — Not impressed *2024-05-30, version 3.4.1* I am a Bonsai Empire fan, I have purchased many of their online courses, and think their work, knowledge and ability to teach are great. The app is functional, though 30 years playing with trees and 80 trees in the back yard I hardly need to be reminded of when to water and fertilize. The seasonal image library was a great idea, but when I hit tree 6, it looks for an upgrade, not a one off purchase, but dipping into my wallet over and over again. If you are a beginner or received a gift Bonsai, you will love it, if you are a serious grower, I cannot see the value. ### 3/5 — Sort & Order *2025-02-12, version 4.0.19* Great app, I like it a lot. Would give 5 stars but there doesn’t appear to be a way to sort, order or group the trees (alphabetically or by multiples of the same species together) in the Tree collection nor the Pots and collectables. Scrolling to find a specific tree or item is tedious and frustrating. ### 3/5 — Nicely arranged and thought out but . . . *2024-09-17, version 3.8.0* This app looks to well done. They’ve thought of everything that I would want for in an app that is supposed to help keep track on f fertilizing and repotting events. However, if you have more than 5 trees you’ll need to step up to the pro version. The free version only allows 5. ### 3/5 — Nice! *2024-07-01, version 3.6.4* Have been looking for a long time for something like this. A single drawback- it needs to account for the location… its suggestions don’t seem to be for Australian climate or Weather…. ### 3/5 — The best but sadly it doesn’t work without internet connection *2024-05-30, version 3.4.1* I just bought a year subscription but yesterday I need to use it in a place without any internet connection and it doesn’t work. ### 3/5 — Needs more specific plant species *2024-05-30, version 3.4.1* For example when search ficus, you have ficus retusa, but not microcarpa. Suggestion: it would be really cool if you could link the app with tree forums. Sharing pics, problems, progress, and advice. ### 4/5 — Great App *2025-01-24, version 4.0.19* Can you put a means of hiding tree price, don’t want the wife knowing but do want to keep a record!! ### 4/5 — Pas si mal *2024-08-18* Assez complet, beaucoup de potentiel. Ce que je déplore beaucoup et qui m’empêche d’aller plus loin avec cette app. c’est que la version Mac OS n’est accessible que pour les Macs avec la puce M1. Il demeure un important marché pour les Macs avec une puce Intel! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bonsai care for newbies *2026-07-09, version 6.5.1* Great way for newbies like myself getting into bonsai, everything is right there and the informational sections are great. Highly recommend for those just starting out ### 5/5 — Great way to keep up with your garden! *2026-06-18, version 6.3.0* The reminders are very helpful and I like being able to share my bonsai with a like-minded community. ### 5/5 — Bonsai Care app *2026-06-10, version 6.3.0* Excellent app… went with the subscription, so as to enter all my trees! ### 5/5 — Simple and efficient *2026-06-04, version 6.3.0* Simple and efficient. Does what I need and customizable to my needs. ### 5/5 — Perfect for tracking progress *2026-06-03, version 6.3.0* Sensational app. I find it extremely useful for tracking the growth patterns, pruning, feeding and fertilising routines. Still doesn’t quite have all the tree species in the system, but that would take a lifetime to do. Other than that, 10/10 recommend it. ### 5/5 — Great App for Tracking Bonsai Care *2026-06-02, version 6.3.0* I've been extremely pleased with this bonsai care app. It has made caring for my bonsai trees much easier and more enjoyable. The reminders for watering, pruning, and fertilizing help me stay on track, and the care information is clear, practical, and easy to follow. I especially appreciate how the app provides guidance tailored to different bonsai species, which has helped my trees stay healthy and thrive. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced bonsai enthusiast, this app is an excellent resource. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to give their bonsai the best possible care! ### 5/5 — Great app to track your trees *2026-06-02, version 6.3.0* Great app with reminders, photos and now calendar for tree work ### 5/5 — Bonsai Care app *2026-04-12* I saw this app recommended by Eisei-en Bonsai Kyoto (Bjorn Bjorholm) and decided to give it a try. I’m loving it! ### 5/5 — Staying organized *2026-03-07, version 6.0.0* Bonsai Care App is a perfect companion to manage multiple species that have different care needs. Highly recommend the App. ### 5/5 — Great App. *2025-01-05, version 4.0.19* Great for storing photos and setting reminders about repotting, fertilizing, etc. The social sharing just started and it’s great! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
