### 1/5 — PHONE NUMBER!!???

*2022-09-29, version 1.0.3*

First I got onto the app and it said “enter your phone number to sign in” at first I was like hmm ok, that’s fine.. but then I got to thinking (without putting it in obvi lol. That what if there is a scammer behind here? They will keep calling/messaging me and give it to other peopl!!??????!!! Ugh NO WAY, save your app and your time

### 1/5 — Why do you need my phone number?

*2021-11-26, version 1.0.3*

It’s a house plant app.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2021-11-23, version 1.0.3*

Before I could even use this app, it ask for my phone number. Not create a user name or login in with AppleId. With all the privacy and data tracking issues these days, NOPE!

### 1/5 — Issues

*2021-06-14, version 1.0.3*

There is a bug where when you mark a watering “complete” it will duplicate the entire plant. Suddenly you have multiple of the same plant to water every day. Annoying

### 1/5 — Crashes every time you use it!

*2020-05-12, version 0.0.2*

The app crashes every time you try to add a plant.

**Developer response:** Hi April!

So sorry to hear this. There was an issue reported in Version 0.0.2 which caused the app to crash while attempting to search 🤦

This has been fixed in the latest version (0.0.3), out today. Please update the app for smoother sailing.

If you have any trouble, please let me know.

Ben

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for anyone outside of the US

*2020-05-05, version 0.0.1*

You need a US phone number to use this app.

### 2/5 — App No Longer Supported

*2023-02-04, version 1.0.3*

App had been working great then randomly plants started duplicating a few months ago. Reached out to development about it and received a response and a “bug fix coming” note. No fix was ever pushed. And now the app will still push my watering reminders but the schedule page is blank and says I’m all caught up. No actual updates have been pushed in two years. Time to move onto another app.

### 5/5 — Refreshingly minimal plant care app!

*2021-05-25, version 1.0.3*

With an easy to use and clutter-free UI, this app offers just enough guidance to keep my plants happy and healthy. Regardless of this being a relatively new app with minimal features, I find it perfectly useful for my plant care needs. I look forward to future releases and new/updated features!!

### 5/5 — Plant saver

*2021-05-20, version 1.0.3*

My plants were on the brink of death before this user friendly tool came into my life!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-06-29, version 0.0.3*

A user friendly way to help me keep track of the variety of needs every plant has! Thank you!
