User reviews

Best Garden Helper!

I love this app, it allows me to keep an easy journal with updates for my garden and even organizes my planters. I do wish you could add other users to see their garden updates- I’d love to use this with my friends who also keep track of their planting with the app.

Exactly What I Need

You’d think it wouldn’t be hard to find a simple way to document your gardening to look back on year after year and see what works and what doesn’t… but everything is geared towards garden planning or plant ID or crazy AI systems. This is exactly what I need… a garden *journal* so next year when I wonder when my hellebores are going to bloom I can look back to this year, and when I’m wondering where the heck my bleeding hearts went, I can remind myself that they go dormant mid summer. Thank you, dev, for creating this lovely, not overcomplicated tool and I look forward to using it for years to come.

Boooo, AI

This app seems like it has promise, and I like the design, but the basic version is too limited. I would love to upgrade to pro and unlock multi-plant entries (which honestly seems like a pretty baseline feature), but I am so deeply tired of AI being shoved into every single thing, often without any ability to opt out. I don’t want ✨AI growing tips✨ I just want a place to keep track of my own plants, with my own brain & hands. Ditch all the AI and I’d absolutely subscribe.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to share this, I appreciate your feedback. Just to clarify, AI isn’t a core part of the app - it’s a few small, optional features. GrowNotes is primarily designed as a no-frills, simple way to track and care for your plants. The free version gives you unlimited plants and unlimited entries for those plants. If you have any questions or more feedback feel free to reach out: nick@grow-notes.com

Growing Plants, Flowers, Vegetables? You need this app!!

I grow all my flowers from seed each year. I would be in trouble without this amazing app to keep everything straight…who I bought from, how and when to sow, companion planting, notes, also has AI imbedded for quick guides AND the Pro version is worth every penny with a task reminder, the ability to upload or take your own photos and so much more! Get organized today with Grow Notes you will love it.

Love this app

I had been using the app and loving it then due to a glitch lost everything. I contacted the app and Nick was able to restore my data. He was very patient with my lack of technical skills. Now I’m back to journaling in time for Spring!😊
