## What is Cactus Album Lite?

** Note: This is the free Lite version of Cactus Album. The Lite version is almost identical to the full version, but only allows you to store up to 3 cacti, 3 watering schedules, and 3 log entries with 3 photos each. It also includes database backup and export over WiFi (but not restore/import), allowing easy upgrade to the full version. The full version has no such limitations. **

### 3/5 — Nice tool but....

*2018-09-13, version 1.7*

This looks great, I tried the lite version which allows 3 entries and was happy with the way it worked. Unfortunately I think for a straightforward database this app is over priced so will not be purchasing the full version.

### 4/5 — Good tester

*2018-07-17, version 1.7*

Really good tester. But 7.99 to expensive

### 3/5 — Nice taster

*2018-02-11, version 1.7*

Would be nice if it included some sample entries. Would upgrade to the full version but at £7.99 its too expensive

### 4/5 — Great

*2015-06-09, version 1.1*

I like this app, very straightforward and easy to use. However I feel the full version is far too expensive to upgrade to.
