Not Too Happy

Vey little information--nothing not available with a quick Google search. I wasted my money.

Only works when it want to -

Very frustrating when it doesn't respond to touch when trying to add plants to project. Would also like to be able to add more than one photo at a time when I add plants.

Very Little Info

There may be a lot of plants in the database, but there's only minimal info on each. Where's the info on propagation, pruning, diseases? And I sprang for the professional upgrade!!!!! Very disappointed. I feel cheated.

limited but good

This is a great way to organize favorite plants you want to become better acquainted with. A few improvements could be made such as crashes when looking at plant photos in the image carousel. Also it would be nice to be able to email the favorites as a pdf or excel spreadsheet.

For experienced landscapers

Really good fit & finish for what is essentially a large catalog of plants and pictures. Good if you know what you want - not really helpful if you are looking for ideas or don't know what you are really looking for. No suggestions, etc. by use case, etc.

Will look for another app that is more novice/suggestion oriented.
