I can’t use the camera function as just loads forever so only can use pictures from file, and I’ve been trying to see a reply someone made on my post and it just says ”cannot read properties of null”. ### 2/5 — The app does not work *2025-03-08, version 2.3.7* Impossible to create an account ### 2/5 — Doesn’t open *2025-03-08, version 2.3.7* This app looks like it could have real potential for sorting gardening issues, got excited by it since Candide stopped working, but when you put all the info in that it is looking for just takes you back to the start so can’t get into the app. Happy to change this part of the review if fixed. ### 3/5 — Good idea but… *2025-10-11* Must have gmail to access feedback forum. Must allow full access to photos and mic to upload pics. Feels like a security risk to not have these simple controls. Otherwise app is a great idea with worldwide access to gardening of all flavors. ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2025-07-01, version 2.7.7* Posting and editing posts on this app is glitchy. Difficult to find people to follow, perhaps because it’s new. Looks promising though. ### 4/5 — Great for gardeners *2025-06-02, version 2.7.2* Having a place that is solely dedicated to gardening and everything that entails it is amazing. The ability to build a sense of community around a common interest without having to navigate around other topics is truly calming. I hope to watch the app grow and develop as more and more people use it. That being said my only judgement would how slowly to all can load at times. Especially videos. Though I am confident that will be sorted out and it just due to influx of people using the app at once 🌱🩷 ### 4/5 — Good app with room for improvement *2025-05-28* Overall I’m enjoying the app. There are definitely some glitches, such as hashtag hyperlinks not working, and zooming in on pictures in a carousel defaults back to the first picture. I think as this app picks up more users, it’ll be a lot more interesting. ### 4/5 — I really like it! *2025-04-01* I think this app is awesome, I love having a place to scroll that isn’t trying to sell me stuff I don’t need, and is informative. However, I think a few small changes could make this app really spectacular. For example, I can’t tell if there’s really a way to search by content type. I can search for users by username or groups of users but I can’t search for posts on asparagus or hydroponics or raised beds etc. I can also see that posts have hashtags, but they don’t actually go anywhere. I can’t click on a “organic farming” hashtag and see other posts tagged with “organic farming” for instance. This may just be a product of the platform’s newness, there aren’t enough posts yet to organize this way maybe, but I’d love to be able to look for posts on what I’m specifically interested in. If that is a current capability, I do apologize, but I can’t find it anywhere and I’m pretty comfortable interfacing with social media. Thank you for developing such an awesome app! I’m looking forward to learning a lot from it. 🌱🌱 ### 4/5 — Watching Gardenstead grow *2025-03-23, version 2.4.9* I’m so excited to see this brand new platform grow along with the plants! The international members make it. I can distinguish between growers in my zone and check out how the rest of the world cope in their climates. Very interesting with plenty of tips and help when I’m stuck. A beautiful ‘space’ indeed. The app will improve in time, just you watch. Gardeners are patient people 😉 ### 5/5 — A lovely, thoughtful space for gardeners! *2026-04-08, version 3.1.4* I’ve just started using Gardenstead and I’m genuinely impressed so far. The support has been prompt and professional, which makes a big difference when you’re getting set up. I also love the small details / like how your post is “taking root” while it uploads. It’s such a simple touch but feels very aligned with the gardening theme and adds a bit of personality to the experience. It feels like a well-considered space for gardeners to share, learn and grow. Looking forward to using it more. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Finally! *2025-04-09, version 2.5.5* An excellent place to learn and share.
