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. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2016-07-18* As a collector this App is perfect for keeping track of what I have & where to find it among my collection. It's precisely what I was looking for & so much more! If I could ask but one thing, I would ask for the ability to be able to add more than 5 images per plant (maybe endless 😆), as I photograph them from at least two angles & I would love to be able to see photographic progress of specimen plants over the years. Awesome App, thank you :) ### 5/5 — Love it *2016-06-18* I love this app, lets me keep track of everything purchase price, where I brought from, growing progress! Love it! Thankyou! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2015-07-11* Once the price was brought down a little bit I upgraded from the Lite version. Very happy with this app, extremely useful. Can't wait to see future updates. ### 4/5 — Love it! *2014-10-07* I really do like this app. I have dozens of succulents i keep track of. Yes, its not just for cacti but also succulents. I really wish this app would sync between the ipad and iphone. I enter everything using ipad, but my phone is what goes along with me to nurseries, and...not synched! ### 5/5 — Does the job! *2014-06-24* So far so good. Good way to keep your plants organized. I previously used a notebook and excel file which were both cumbersome, this has met my needs and so much easier to use than my past attempts to catalogue my collection ### 4/5 — Good App - expensive but nothing else to compare with *2014-05-03* Good app, if you have a big collection it's perfect, and so much better than using spreadsheets. ### 5/5 — Excellent!!!!! *2014-02-17* Cactus Album is exactly what I was looking for to track my succulents. Tried several other programs and none comes close to this App. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Take You money *2015-07-03* And run. This app leads you to believe that there is a catalog of succulents. Not the case. ### 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. ### 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 ### 2/5 — Costs too much, doesn't do anything new. *2015-10-01* As a long time grower of succulents, I thought this was the app of my dreams. However; the longer I used this app the more I would drift towards the preinstalled app "Reminders" I was slowly finding out that this app was over glorified. It does not help this apps future that Reminders was recently updated with the ability to post images. Needless to say, 9.99 is an extremely excessive cost for this app. I do not recommend this app, but I hope the developer takes what they learned here to make better programs. For the record, the review before mine isn't true. There is no mention of this app being any sort of encyclopedia. ### 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 ### 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. ### 3/5 — Cactus Album review *2018-01-11* Just got this app and have entered a few of my numerous plants. It’s pretty easy to use and I have not yet read any directions and am not very computer literate but I’m happy. Adding or changing pictures of your plants is real easy. This app is for someone who knows the names of the plants they have..there is no feature to help one identify plants but developers do let buyers know that. Personally I don’t like the “roll to find a date” feature, its easier to type stuff in. I am having trouble with the “water schedule” feature but Ill figure it out. I would give this 3-4 stars.. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Good App with some flaws *2016-07-10* I have loaded my succulent and cactus collection on my IPhone with great success, yet even though it is compatible with my IPad I have learned there is no way to sync the information between the two devices. Now I have to load my IPad separately. According to creator they don't intend to update the program to allow. ### 3/5 — A little disappointed. *2014-05-07* There are a couple items I would love for your programmers to address. I would like to be able to synch my iphone with the iPad so I have the data at the ready when at the nursery. I would also think it beneficial if your were to expand your data base so that height, width, sun exposure, photo all pop up when name is selected. It is much easier to recognize a photo than a Latin name when looking for a match. Thank you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great app for succulent lovers *2022-06-19* GREAT APP ### 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 ### 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 ### 5/5 — Super App! *2018-10-14* Ich habe derzeit 236 Kakteenarten und die Verwaltung klappt super. Für meine 52 unterschiedlichen Zimmerpflanzen nutze ich ebenso erfolgreich die App PflanzenAlbum vom gleichen Entwickler. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2018-08-07, version 1.7* I have been using this awesome app for several years and I would be lost without it. I have hundreds of succulents and have been able to build my collection and database on the fly with this app. Some of the fields are of no use to me and I just don’t use them. However I have been able to catalogue all my Lithops and Haworthia as well as many other species. Being able to export and manage my entries in bulk has been awesome too. It’s quite a flexible app as a result. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2017-11-02* Awesome app ### 5/5 — The absolute BEST succulent app! *2017-09-20* If you are looking to organize your succulents, by photo as well as scientific name, and nickname, this is for you! My friend told me about this app, and at first I was a little put off by the price, but once I bought it I loved it and I will never use anything else to organize my succulents. It is so nice to be able to have my collection on my iPhone and transfer them over to my iPad to as well. When I am out shopping I check my app often to see what I have at home already. I can I think the maker of this app enough! It is highly recommended, and it's never glitched on me. Like their Facebook page to! ### 5/5 — Super App! *2016-10-29* Ich pflege eine kleinere Kakteensammlung in meinem Gewächshaus und suchte lange nach einer App um die einzelnen Pflanzen aufzulisten, jeweils wichtige Daten, Fotos bzw. Wissenswertes zu hinterlegen. All das ist mit dieser App möglich und sogar noch mehr (Gießerinnerung, Statistik). So behalte ich einen guten Überblick über die inzwischen fast 150 Kakteen. App ist sehr zu empfehlen! Schön, dass sie jetzt auf Deutsch (und in anderen Sprachen) zur Verfügung steht. Annett ### 5/5 — Definitely beats a notebook *2016-09-30* If you want to keep records of you cactus collection, your options are a notebook, an excel spreadsheet, or this app. Of the three, this app is definitely the most organized way to go. The ability to attach photos of your plants directly to the entry along with all your notes is a nice feature. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
