### 5/5 — Made me care about plants and apps again.

*2025-06-12*

I’m usually not someone who writes reviews online or spends much time caring about apps. Gingko changed that. 

I want to spend less time on my phone and rid the weight of feeling constantly connected online. 
When it comes to plant care, too many apps seem to focus their value on time spent in the app itself, but Gingko elegantly points the focus toward real world interaction. 

It’s an empowering tool that lets you quickly check your plant’s health, find treatment plans for that pesky monstera, watch the growth of that golden pothos, and most importantly get back to watering that flamingo flower.

Don’t know the name of the succulent on your night stand? Get Gingko.

Don’t know if you should trim off that dead leaf? Get Gingko.
