Not for plant care

Reading the description, you’d think this app would help you with notifications to remember to water your particular garden plants and other basic care. But apparently you can’t set up any of that without taking photos of your plants and posting them like a braindead child instagrammer. Pass.

In my case, I tried taking the photos needed to add my plants. But no plants were recognized and I couldn’t find any of my plants by searching their names. I’m probably the only person trying to grow carrots, pumpkins, peppers, and asparagus. Exotic, rare plants that probably don’t exist in this app’s database.

App stopped working!

It is spring, so I’m back in the app. Nothing works like it used to. There is a post from 18 weeks ago that they changed their hosting scheme, but no posts in my feed since then. Something is seriously wrong. An app shouldn’t be able to charge if no longer supported.

Can’t get into the app

I have had GardenTags for years. Helps me keep track of my plants and their progress. However, I got a new iPhone 16 max pro replacing my iPhone 11max pro. Ever since I have not been about to get into the app. I have changed my password etc, and still cannot get into the app. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it. Still can’t get into the app. Now I ant get access to all my plants and photos. I don’t understand what the issue is. But needs fix asap. Or the app needs to get me all my photos and plant list to me so I can add it to another app that actually works. Been two months trying to get back in the app, and the spring flower season has started. What is going on? Why is this not fixed yet? Will change my rating when I have access to my account again.

Extortionate nonsense

I had this app for years. It was great. I got to see peoples plants and interact. The true meaning of social. Now it’s locked behind a pay wall, and worst of all it’s subscription based! Not even a one off purchase! Sorry, but that’s nonsense and it’s taken the social aspect out of this once great app.

Don’t purchase

I just got this app and you can’t get a refund it gives no information on plants you take a picture of UNLESS someone “happens to see your picture! Not at all what the app claims it to be- I’m out $19 I feel robbed!

Glitchy App Freezes Constantly

I have other plant ID apps which work flawlessly. Disappointed with this one as it keeps freezing and I have to close it then try to start again. So far I’ve found it to be a pain because of this and it’s not fit for purpose.

Helpful

I haven’t usedGardenTags for some time but I find it very informative.

I love how I can talk to other plant nerds!

Garden Tags

A very useful app and people are very quick to answer questions. I find it very helpful

Facebook for plants!

Great community and informative. I would like to see some ui improvements but it’s a good app so far!

Simply the best gardening app!

This app is such a wonderful community of supportive gardeners. I have learned so much on it and made so many friends. Keep up the good work GardenTags

Is the app still working?

I recently discovered that I had an account that I completely forgot about and wanted to delete it, but when I press “login” I’m being told “the address is invalid”. So I tried resetting my password and when I click on the link I get the same message saying “address is invalid”. I wanted to login to delete my profile. Anyone searching for my name on Google would be able to find my acc on garden tags which isn’t what I want and not being able to delete my personal data I believe goes right against GDRP. Please contact me asap

Great friendly app

I love recording what plants I have and seeing their progress over time. Everyone is very friendly and helpful, a great free app with extra purchases if you want professional advice.

GardenTags is awesome. You can explore, learn, teach & share all the things that gardens & gardening bring to your life. Great app.

It’s really buggy

Adding plants is really buggy and throws an error. It sometimes works and sometimes results in a ‘content not found’ error. Editing plants that don’t work to try and add the “missing” photos brings up a blank screen. Considering I only installed this last night I doubt I’ll keep it. It also seems like a lot of the features are subscription only which seems rude considering this is a community database and we are providing most of the information that makes the app what it is. Sorry to say I wouldn’t dream of paying for the premium service for such a buggy app and skewed business model.

Confusing App

Confusing and frustrating app. Not intuitive and seems like most features are subscription based.

The best plant app I found! And the only one I use!

Love this app, helps me keep track of my plants which comes in handy when shopping or when I’ve forgotten a botanical name.
The only plant app I use and I did try a couple of others before finding yours.
I’m currently using the free version which is sufficient for my needs atm.
