What's New in Gardyn

3.0.0

October 20, 2026

Kelby moves front and center. Tasks and messages from your personal AI gardener now live at the top of your Home Screen, so the good stuff is the first thing you see when you open your app. We also redesigned water and light displays, so you can check your Gardyn’s status and make adjustments at a glance. You asked, we listened. Your favorite features and most-used tools are all still here – now, they're easier and more fun to use.

Frustrating App Experience – Basic Features Don’t Work

For a product like Gardyn that relies heavily on its app, you’d expect the basic functionality to work properly. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been my experience.

The app provides instructional links to help users learn how to perform certain tasks, but those links aren’t clickable, making it unnecessarily difficult to access important information. On top of that, the app doesn’t provide a proper way to manage your membership, which is frustrating when you’re paying for a subscription.

Users shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to access instructions or manage something they’re being charged for. These are basic features that should be standard in any subscription-based app.

Gardyn needs to prioritize fixing these usability issues and giving customers more control over their memberships. The concept is great, but the app experience needs serious improvement.

Expensive reminder app

The Gardyn itself is cool. The app is NOT worth the money. Nothing is specific to your Gardyn. The app is just feeding general information on a schedule. I don’t need to pay $250 to be reminded to use fertilizer.

Fresh & Green all year.

I’m coming up to a whole year of growing in my kitchen. We have had fresh lettuce, crazy good tomatoes, peppers, herbs, kale, and so many other veggies I can’t remember growing steps from my counter. It’s amazing! And, as our backyard garden closes down at the end of the growing season, I just started a nursery of newbies for my forever Gardyn! It’s so beautiful easy! It’s fun! And, there is just something hopeful about green in my kitchen.

Cool product terrible app

Despite the fact that it's uploading 70 MB of pictures every day to azure and checking in every 30 seconds on unencrypted HTTP, the app still continues to say that it's not connected and won't let me use any of the app controls.
