I have a micro-nursery and market garden business. App works well, (not buggy) loads quickly and is easy to navigate (intuitive) Also quick and efficient support via live chat! ### 5/5 — Incredibly useful tool to any good farmer *2024-11-04* I joined the free trial with the intent to purchase at the end of the week, but was unable to get access to the first few screens at first, However, after getting it to work with some great communication from the help at Eden, what an incredible useful tool that I wish I had had when I was farming as a dynamic farmer in New Zealand!! Astounding in its versatility and data that can be displayed at a glance every day Well, worth the extra time it took me to get it working and sounds like the issues been mostly communication between Apple Store and Eden servers Super cool app! ### 5/5 — So much information!! *2024-09-06* This is truly a valuable resource for anyone practicing biodynamics! There is so much in the app that it’s teaching me new doors of exploration with in the biodynamic world! Also, I just keep discovering more and more features like widgets! Amazing! Well worth it and kudos! ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2024-06-20* I find myself using it multiple times a day. It has everything related to plants and planets in one place. ### 2/5 — Great potential. *2024-04-22* Really enjoyed the free trial of this app. Fun and functional resource for our winemaking and vineyard management operations here in Oregon. I’ve tried to subscribe to this many times and the app won’t let me give it my money. I hope I can get back in and use this app someday. **Developer response:** My apologies you had this problem. Issues with subscriptions were resolved by version 1.5.0. Next time, please contact support so I can make sure the app functions as expected. ### 3/5 — Can’t log back in *2024-03-25* I forgot to cancel my free trial apparently so I have the cheapest package for a year and I attempted to log back in and did not save my password because I wasn’t sure that I was going to keep the app and there is not a clear option to reset it except through the Health option, which takes you to your web browser where I requested multiple times for a reset link in an email which I am not receiving. The app itself and the user interface are pretty cool when you can actually get into them. I don’t understand what all of it means even but I was interested in learning since I was stuck with it for a year anyway… **Developer response:** This problem was resolved. The issue was that the subscriber did not remember the email address they used to create their account which made it difficult to provide assistance. ### 5/5 — Falling in love with gardening all over again!!! *2023-10-08* Eden’s Almanac has been so easy to use. Fast load speed, beautiful layouts, awesome features like the note & photo journal and notifications so I don’t forget unique gardening days. Loving the lock screen widgets as it is such a smart and easy way to keep me posted on what is happening that day. This app really has streamlined my time so I have more free time to spend time with family, work on other projects or invest more time into my gardening and foraging. Falling in love with gardening all over again! ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2023-10-05* I highly recommend this app! Its definitely uniquely one of its kind and well thought out! I purchased a week ago and have had no issues as mentioned by the previous reviewer. Easy to download, easy to use, and worth every penny. Sorry previous reviewer…but happy i didn’t take your advice and got this app. Definitely worth it! ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly *2023-09-11* Unfortunately, I did not keep the app. I was notified by email that it was available. Excitedly, I downloaded and created an account. As soon as I did, the subscription pop-up came and the app immediately crashed. I was not able to make a selection. When I opened the app again it took me to the login page, which I did. Then it had a home page I could not use due to lack of subscription. So I went in to make a selection. The app crashed again. Thinking it was a download error, I deleted and redownloaded. A third attempt allowed me to subscribe to the free trial. I selected other tabs (on the bottom of the app) and when I went back to the first one, the subscription request was back on! I checked through the App Store and it showed I was subscribed. But went to make a selection again anyway, and the app crashed. Uninstalled. Make the app free until you can work out how to bill people for something you haven’t figured out how to work yet. Good luck. **Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with the initial app release. This bug was fixed in version 1.1.4. ## Frequently asked questions about Eden's Almanac ### What is Eden's Almanac?
