It informed me that it needed to update. When I went back into the app after it was done, it informed me that my email wasn’t registered and I had to set up a whole new account. It had been going great, except my monitor doesn’t like to stay paired, I just stopped using it and decided to use my brain and pay attention to the plant myself. I’ve actually have some Zinnias that are close to flowering and I haven’t had a seed go to flower, really ever. If I could get my account back, I would give a 4 star, because of the monitor not pairing, but can I really blame an app for a device? If they are promoting it…🤷‍♀️ ### 2/5 — Is the pod usable with a subscription? *2026-05-04, version 1.18.3* I bought the flora pod. The app keeps pushing a trial on me. I would like to know if I can use it without a subscription. Otherwise, I’m going to return it. Thanks. ### 2/5 — Notifications *2026-02-06, version 2.17.3* Notifications stopped working. I don’t get them at all anymore. This used to be intermittent, but it is now consistent. This is a vital feature for me to keep using this app. Without it, I will go somewhere else. ### 5/5 — Loving it *2025-10-10, version 2.14.1* When I got the free month subscription after getting to like a certain level, I was so excited to be able to take full advantage of getting to know my plants more ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-10-10, version 2.14.1* I love this app. It really helps me keep my plants on track. ### 5/5 — Water Away! *2025-10-10, version 2.14.1* Always reminds me when to water my plethora of plants! Helps me identify new ones. Love it ### 2/5 — Average *2025-08-29, version 2.14.0* Good app to track the watering intensity and to identify plants but I don’t think it’s very accurate. I downloaded it bc I don’t know much about plants and wanted plants to last so J followed this app for watering and diagnosis. 3 plants have died so far and I have only followed elegant this app says ### 5/5 — Newbie but great so far *2025-07-13, version 2.13.0* Have only been using the app for a couple days so far and I love it. I love that it gives me more information on my plants that I’ve added. And I love that it helps me identify what some are that I might not have known. If I find anything I don’t like about the app, I’ll update. ### 1/5 — 🥺 *2025-06-28, version 2.12.1* Why it say it’s free but it’s not $7 per week 😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Badge count *2025-06-22, version 2.12.1* Never works, essentially making the purpose of this app to me not work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lost all my info *2026-07-03, version 2.19.2* I was logged out of my account after an update, and I’ve lost everything. I’ve tried every email I’ve ever created and no luck. I have over 50 houseplants and have been paying for the full version of this app for almost 4 years. Over $100 just down the drain. ### 1/5 — Lost all my info *2026-06-29, version 2.19.2* I was logged out of my account after an update, and I’ve lost everything. I’ve tried every email I’ve ever created and no luck. I have over 50 houseplants and have been paying for the full version of this app for almost 4 years. Canceling my subscription ### 1/5 — Newest update *2026-06-18, version 2.19.2* LOST EVERYTHING after the newest update. 40 plants and their watering schedules GONE ### 1/5 — Lost account *2026-03-26, version 1.18.3* Signed up with Flora through my Apple ID. Went fine for a while but the different tier plans offered through Apple are very confusing. They offer many different paid plans, several of them the same duration plan (weekly, monthly, etc) but with different costs. Started with 7.99 per week only to find out I could have been paying 12.99 per month. Switched to that and then upgraded to a 29.99 per year plan only to find out that was somehow a downgrade? (No longer got the premium plan with that). Tried to upgrade back to the premium plan with a 59.99 per year but the app didn’t register that. Tried to logout and log back in to see if it needed a reset only to find out I could no longer sign in using Apple ID (only Google or email). Tried email login but app said I don’t have an account under that email (which is the same email as my Apple ID). I can now no longer get into my account t and have lost access to my 21 plants’ data. Terrible experience. Gonna seek a refund and use a different app instead. ### 1/5 — Not as advertised. *2026-03-04, version 2.17.3* Disappointing, I can’t get my pod to work, and they have no customer service for the product that has been able to help me ### 1/5 — POD *2025-08-20, version 2.13.0* I am unable to pair my pod. I don’t even look like it’s charging. I can’t even tell if it is charging so the 1 free doesn’t even count cause I still haven’t been able to use it. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-07-29, version 2.13.0* I usually don’t write reviews, but this app is pretty bad. For a novice that knows nothing about plant/lawn care this may help - but most of this information is readily available for free on the World Wide Web. ### 1/5 — $8 per week *2025-07-11, version 2.13.0* I checked all over before I downloaded the app to see if this was chargeable or free. There was nothing of any charges. You download it, set it up, and then find out that you have to pay to keep it. You absolutely have a right to sell an app or charge for usage, just let me know that on the front end in case that’s not what I’m looking for. Don’t dupe me into downloading it just to trick me. ### 1/5 — False advertising *2025-07-03, version 2.13.0* Ad says it’s free then want to charge you! Make it free for life ### 1/5 — Deception *2025-06-30, version 2.12.1* Saw an ad in Instagram from the creator that clear stated that App “is now”. It’s not, I downloaded it and it’s free for 3 days. I don’t do deception. I would never give my information including a credit card number to a company that clearly lied. I’ll make sure to steer clear of anything associated with this app from now on. The ole bait and switch to get your downloads number high. Shame on you ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-07-11, version 2.19.2* Found it to be helpful in caring for plants and identifying them ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-01, version 1.18.3* Love the watering schedules ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-05-01, version 1.18.3* This app helps me so much when it comes to reminding me to water my plants. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-05-01, version 1.18.3* I’ve been using this app for years now and it’s so helpful for keeping track of my plants and their needs ### 5/5 — SUPERB App for all Plant Parents *2026-04-15, version 1.18.3* Flora App makes me a better plant parent. Great tools for addressing various issues with my plants. Making happier healthier plants and a healthier happier plant Mom ### 5/5 — So worth it!! *2026-03-17, version 2.18.2* I have tried so many plant apps and this one is by far my favorite. I have whatever the opposite of a green thumb is and my plants have never looked better. Worth the subscription for sure. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2025-12-10, version 2.15.0* So easy to set up and get tips!!! ### 5/5 — Plant Admin *2025-11-27, version 2.15.0* Love this App and using the free trial however, little steep in the price and most likely will not be able to keep the app. ### 5/5 — Fabulous Flora *2025-11-15, version 2.15.0* I’ve been using the Flora app for about a month now, and absolutely love it. It’s easy to add my plants and I love the recommendations. ### 5/5 — Sooo helpful! *2025-11-14, version 2.15.0* I killed so many plants till I found this app. Now, I grow plants that thrive. Use this app, you’ll love it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
