### 5/5 — Love the app.

*2024-11-26, version 1.3.1*

This is a nifty app to have. It helps me to stay on track with watering and fertilizing my plants ans I love the alerts. It’s no longer feels as overwhelming of a chore and I enjoy the care of my plants a whole lot more. I would only change one thing - that would be to add a way to “hibernate” a plant, and or to change it back to no longer needing to be watered or fertilized  on schedule . Essentially if I wanted to stop the care of a plant I would have to delete it all together but it’d be great to just “hibernate” it, or “store” it.

Update: Avery actually responded to my email (within an hour at that!!! ) and updated me on the fact that you actually can delete fertilizing and watering schedules. For anyone wondering you simply go to the plant and act like you’re about to change the schedule, and a small X will appear next to the current setting – so where it says every two days for example, already. If you click that it will cancel that out!

This app is perfection now 🥰😍🪻

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-08-29, version 1.3.1*

Completely usless app. Avoid as it provides no tips on when to water or fertilize

### 5/5 — Really great app

*2024-02-18, version 1.3.1*

When you have a lot of plants, the watering schedule gets a bit complex. Droplet solves that after you do the work on the front end setting up each plant. It’s a simple concept, tracking multiple day counts, but you can add so much data and photos that it also becomes a really great snapshot of your collection. Good for tracking growth progress of each plant, too… much like school photos:)

I would like slightly more functionality, though, like an option to log water and fertilizer with one click, rather than individually like you have to now when you tend to a plant… but over all, I really dig this app.

### 5/5 — Love the app.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2023-03-09, version 1.3.1*

Useful app. You can update your photos of your plants but it doesn’t keep the previous photo taken. If the app kept a history of the plant photos, it could keep a visual track of the plants’ progression then the app would be perfect.

### 4/5 — Nice interface

*2023-01-21, version 1.3.1*

It’s a very pretty design! Enjoying it more and more!

### 4/5 — Beautiful app but could be better

*2022-05-12, version 1.3.1*

I've tried one other plant app that had many more smart features like light meters, plant care, plant identifications, etc. But this was the first I've tried and I like it slightly more. I like that you can nickname your plants and that I can feature my own photos. I use it more of a way to monitor and have a nice plant diary. I wish I could add a more robust description (paragraphs, bullet points, etc) and add notes like I can add photos. If I had these features, this app would be perfect for my needs.

### 5/5 — Great app to keep track of plants

*2022-03-26, version 1.2.2*

This is not one of those 100 apps out there that identify a plant for you.  This app is an excellent app to help you keep track of the plants you have and when to give them some love.  

The app is simple to use and easy to learn.  Great tagging system.  I use this app as a field note to keep track of plants I see.  I’d have to do some digging to identify unknown plants but that’s how you learn.

### 3/5 — It works...but

*2021-04-07, version 1.2*

I’d give it 5 stars if it was free, but it’s literally just a calendar for your plants. You could just as easily add notes into your own calendar. It’s efficient, simple to use, cool that you can add photos. It would be better if it helped you identify your plants and gave you care advice based on submissions/other users information. Even if it offered advice based on the plants genes that you input would be a cool feature.

### 1/5 — Reminders don’t work

*2020-11-21, version 1.1*

This app is actively harmful; it tells you it will remind you on a watering schedule but then sets random dates way farther. For instance, a plant that needs weekly watering says it’s reminding me, but the next reminder is set for 21 days from now no matter what I do
