Almost My Favorite

This is almost my favorite plant care guide app to use. It’s easy to navigate, very intuitive, well organized, but I can’t give it a 5 star review because none of the plants have photos. I have to Google search every plant to see what it looks like. But other than that, I have no complaints!

Garbagia

This database needs some work, it has quite a few oddities and none of the most common ones.

App not updated since 2018

Weather doesn’t work. That’s the whole reason I downloaded it

Broken

App is absolute trash. Perpetual try again later error….. considering last update was 6 years ago don’t waste your time.

Could be a great app

This app has so much potential but it’s so glitchy. Half of the features don’t work and there are constant error messages. Please fix this app, I’d love to use it!

Reminders don’t even work

I needed an app that would let me customize watering and feeding schedules since I have some specialty plants. When trying to set up a reminder I just get an error message “something went wrong try again later” on a red bar at the top. I made sure to give the app all the permissions it needed in settings. Please update!!

Does not work

Error message after error message. Couldn’t set up weather feature, couldn’t add fertilizer reminders, couldn’t find many plants. I don’t know how or why this hasn’t been patched.

Can’t find location for weather

Appears to be USA focused. Couldn’t find a large town in UK by search or ‘use current location’. Needs updating as new weather feature doesn’t work.

Major Potential

I may not be able to use it now, as its missing a huge chunk of info and names on common houseplants, but I enjoyed the interface and way of interacting. I also enjoy that this app doesn't cost you a penny to keep weather and humidity in the same place to check. It is too bad it is a bit buggy or doesn't respond to searches or button taps sometimes.

Doesn’t work

Can’t tap things. When I try to request a plant be added it sends an error message. Completely unusable

So sad I can’t use it anymore ❤️

This would have been my most favorite app in the world if they would have not given up on improving it. The weather thing, the glitches. If the developer kept it up it would have been so great and the best one out there :(

Poor database with no information on the most popular garden plants

Very disappointing, with very little information on the most common of plants. Lavandula angustifolia wasn’t even there. Plus weather area selector doesn’t work either all in all very poor. Don’t waste your time it be faster to just use google.

Cute graphics, no function

I really like the graphics. It would be great to have a grouping feature to group plants in the same garden or area as I water them together. The reminders do not work. Every time I try to set one, I get an “Oh oh!” Error. The app really isn’t very helpful if I cannot track when I planted things, and when they need to be watered. It’s literally just a list of plants.

Incomplete

Missing some pretty basic plants, button to request a plant results in generic “something went wrong” error message. Cool idea, poor execution.

Aesthetically pleasing, but

Very few of the functions work (reminders had no suggested timeline or info for a very common plant; weather didn’t work at all), and the lack of privacy info disclosure was concerning. Wanted it to be what I needed, but in the end I deleted.

Broken.

August 4 2022. No functions other than plant look up work. Trying to set a reminder of any kind results in an error. Bummer. Looks nice otherwise.

app is no longer supported

app is no longer supported and doesn’t work

Disappointing

Only seems to be for USA. Wouldn’t update location for weather and all the plants are American

Weather feature is not working

Downloaded this app specifically in hopes that it will help me learn when to water my outdoor plants using the weather monitoring feature.

I was unable to get it to work.
It would not load or “activate my location”. Please fix bug !

Poor App Performance

No indexing of Dadabase, no easy navigation, hit or miss search results
