Everything is locked

Can’t even do nothing without buying a subscription

Too locked down to evaluate

Tried to use it, but got constant, expensive subscription upsell prompts. Practically everything is locked behind membership, so no real ability to see if anything actually works. Looks like more AI slopware being propped up by expensive marketing campaigns.

Useless

I am missing something I wasn’t able to do anything at all with this app, zero stars would be more accurate

Bugs on bugs

This app is full of bugs and clunky, not the bugs you want for your garden

Not worth 299.99 a year

Difficult to place anything.

Very limited functionality to asses

$30 a month to try the tool is too expensive for the limited functionality available. You can do better with ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot without the huge MRC for a home owner.

Very limited

Can only put plants in a straight line

Charges you and won’t refund

This app charges you $39.99 and won’t refund you even if you cancel the subscription before the free trial is over. Scam.

Neat, but AI just does it better

So I tried this with my Apple Pencil. Took a photo of my house and tried creating a simple landscape. It’s extremely tedious. The “draw” function is so basic. The renderings are plentiful but it’s like flipping through a photo album of nothing. There is a search feature that works ok for shrubs and plants.

To be honest I just took the picture I was working with, uploaded it to Gemini. Described what I wanted, told it which USDA zone I was in and wanted native drought tolerant plants, a sidewalk to replace the stepping stones and it took me all of maybe 15 mins. I’d rather spend the monthly fee on AI than use this. Plus, I can use AI for other things. This is single use. Maybe software like this is just outdated now.

Scam download

Didn’t even use the app, but very disappointed that it shows as a free app and then requires a subscription for use. Feels like a scam

Glorified image editor

Basically just an image editor over a photograph. Immediately starts a subscription that will charge you after the trial ends too.

The AR mode could have been useful, but it requires you to edit while the AR is live - it can’t capture a constructed version of the garden to be edited while you’re not outside

Landscape Designs

You should raffle drawings for designs to be published and brought to real life by pubic service volunteering landscapers who love to make the world a more romantic/better looking place!💝👒🍄🍀🌹🪨

Locked out with active subscription

I keep having to resubscribe every month and now I’m locked out after upgrading my iPhone and I can’t get any support from the app. They just keep saying to visit the help center. Beyond frustrating!!

Price is ridiculous

This seems to be the best of the very few landscape design apps but $300/yr? Get out. The free version is hilariously limited.
If you’re a professional landscaper I’m sure it’s worth it but not for your regular home owner. I can spend those $300 on plants and use Grok to give me a good enough idea of what I’m looking for

Not a Free APP

You only get 1 week free and then you have to pay. I think this would be a fine app for people who want to pay, but calling it a free app for only a 1 week trial period is a scam.

Terrible. ALL manual. No ai automation

No intelligent ai capabilities 1) no auto masking (assess imported image and auto create area in space ) —you have to use this giddy outline tool that makes result look preschoolish. 2) no dbl click on area and fill with plant x — you have to manually place elects one by one and thus do scaling and placement yourself (very old school). These days with ai prompt you simply say fill area with sequential planting of 3 plants and its intelligence will scale to your image, according to topography and mood and geo location— then you adjust to your liking if need be. For all the rave about this app it’s totally marketing guff. Useless app for me as a home owner

Expensive Clip Art

Overpriced for what it does. Basically lets you resize and rotate clip art on photos.

Beware

Be VERY careful with the subscription on this app.

The billing setup is confusing, and if something goes wrong, it may be very difficult to resolve.

I signed up for what appeared to be a 7 day free trial for a monthly subscription, but was immediately charged for the full month. After cancelling right away, the app only gave me access from March 18 to March 25, just 7 days, instead of a full 30 day period that I paid for.

To make things worse, the charge showed up through PayPal as “Apple Services” but did NOT appear in my Apple purchase history, so I couldn’t request a refund through Apple. The app support redirected me back to Apple, and I ended up stuck in a loop with no resolution.

I never even used the app because I noticed the issue immediately and didn’t want it to affect my refund chances.

Absolute garbage

Cut and paste icons on to a 2D field. Waste of the time it took to confirm the email.

Easy and Functional

Time from app download to having a landscape plan for my 6’x53’ plot, was 28 minutes. This was very easy to use, it has a wide variety of plants organized very well. I entered estimated plant costs, printed my shopping list, and am heading to the nursery today. Very functional.
