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!
