### 5/5 — Very good app

*2024-06-07*

I have more than 200 cactus, I can not remember all of their name, this app help me a lot, I can put their name, their instructions and pics together, I can record every plant growing . The app is very easy to use.

### 3/5 — ?

*2023-09-12, version 1.7*

How come is that i try to search up something, but when I wait for like a few minutes, it doesn’t pop up

### 2/5 — Cactus Album

*2022-12-21*

The best, I am glad I found this album. I have so many cactus and this is the best way to arrange them and know their names. But I wish I could upload the pictures to  my iPad too.  I had this appointment for a while now and I don’t know what went wrong I can’t put pictures of the cactus.

### 5/5 — Great app for succulent lovers

*2022-06-19*

GREAT APP

### 1/5 — Keine Synchronisation

*2021-10-15*

Wird die App überhaupt noch gepflegt ?
Kein Austausch zwischen ipad und iphone, wie hier bereits geschrieben. Hatte ich nicht geglaubt, aber ist so. Damit für mich nicht sinnvoll anwendbar.

### 5/5 — Just the ticket

*2021-09-10*

What a fantastic app . This allows me to keep a comprehensive check on all my plants , and it is so easy to use . If you like to keep a log of all your plants then this the only app for you

### 3/5 — Super App, wenn man sie nur auf einem Gerät nutzt

*2020-10-18*

Leider klappt keine Synchronisation, so das man auf allen Geräten Eintragungen im Album sieht. Es bleibt leer. Die Backup Datei ist zwar vorhanden, aber der Import unmöglich. Selbst bei AirDrop erscheint zwar die cdb Datei, lässt sich aber mit dem Album nicht verknüpfen. Das ist Schade.

### 5/5 — Great Little App

*2020-09-14*

I am having fun recording my cacti and sorting out their various watering schedules. This app is almost perfect, certainly does the job. Syncing between iPhone and iPad is a little ackward and there is a lot of scrolling when selecting a cactus from the data base. I hope the developer keeps the app functional into the future

### 4/5 — Wow

*2020-06-01*

This is pretty good app. Has a very wide variety of key data which I didn’t expect as most plant apps don’t have it. Kudos!
I also love the extent of data which you can add.  
Only thing I’d like is a log in aspect to share the data across multiple devices instead of having to sync data. 
And maybe the ability to add progress photos..
Well done.

### 2/5 — I’m Paying for No Customization

*2020-01-25*

I really just paid 8 dollars for this. Wow I can get free apps that I customize from scratch to build a database with info I want. Most of this stuff I don’t even care to keep track of. I have almost 200 succulents that i barely find time to water let alone make a note or watering schedule to keep up with. How would I know my plants weigh and why would it matter. There is no where to note dormancy or blooms. But there is a spot for pot shape and material (once again all of my plants are in terra cotta round so why do I want to keep track of that) I’m disappointed in myself for not trying the lite first. At least if they ever upgrade it to my liking I already own it. Unless you track your succulent in odd areas this app is a skip
