I wasted my money. ### 2/5 — Only works when it want to - *2017-05-21, version 3.3* 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. ### 3/5 — limited but good *2015-01-09, version 2.5.2* 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. ### 4/5 — For experienced landscapers *2014-08-14, version 2.5.1* 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. ### 2/5 — Meh *2014-04-04, version 2.4.14* It's an ok place to start but loses its usefulness quickly. Relatively few pictures for the size of the database it claims to have. Search tool is a little clunky and doesn't include some aesthetic features that I would find valuable (like fall foliage color). If you are looking for native plants for your geographic region, you probably won't find much help here. ### 2/5 — Lovely photos but . . . *2012-08-30, version 2.4.3* Lovely photos and an extensive library. Disappointed, however, in the lack of information on most species with regard to soil conditions, and the numerous errors on height and width. Many list height/width in feet when it should be inches. To obtain additional features one must upgrade to the "professional" version for an additional $4.99. ### 2/5 — O.K. *2012-07-15, version 2.4.1* My rating would be higher except there is a noticeable lack of plant pictures. Also, I've searched to 3 of the plants/trees I have in my yard... the search couldn't find them. I'm hoping updates will fill in the blanks. ### 4/5 — Best app for me *2012-07-15, version 2.4.1* I like this app best of the gardening apps I have. I like the notes. I like being able to keep lists. I have not used the projects aspect yet but want to. I appreciate the updates and attempts to keep improving. The plant lists and by categories is the best I have seen. And because I know some plants by common name and others in Latin, this format seems okay to me! I look forward to more upgrades and will make suggestions when I find any issues. ### 4/5 — Landscaper's Companion *2012-06-20, version 2.4.1* Was great when first issued for iPhone, particularly ability to add your own pictures and notes, but common names and at least generic names for new hybrids need to be added ### 4/5 — 🍀Great app, but needs Common Names added 🍀 *2012-06-15, version 2.4.1* Great app, but I think more people would discover it if the name wasn't so misleading! 'Landscaper' makes it sound too much like it's only for professionals and only lists outdoor plants for landscaping. But when I took a chance on purchasing it; I was pleasantly surprised to find houseplants listed, too!! There's been lots of great updates, but it still needs to have the ability to 'Search' for a plant using its Common Name. Or have a whole category with Common Names of Plants...so the average person can easily find info on a house plant or outdoor plant for their yard. You do that & it would easily get 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 from me! ### 4/5 — Really nice app, pre-downloading images keeps timing out.... *2012-05-03, version 2.3.0* Got this for my wife, she is an avid gardener and likes to have a handy reference. Took the extra time to pre Download the images, kept restarting, lucky it "remembers" where it was, but still has to go through the whole list (I would guess to confirm each file exists). ### 3/5 — Great *2012-04-30, version 2.3.0* Great app overall. A little pricy and some more common plants could have more detail but overall I'm pleased. ### 3/5 — Could be More Extensive *2012-04-23, version 2.3.0* Not quite as extensive as it could be. Many varieties do not show pictures. Several common varieties missing from data base. Other than that has a broad selection of plants. ### 2/5 — Needs a lot of work to justify its price *2012-04-14, version 2.3.0* Too much info, not enough pics. Needs more intuitive searching. It is basically just a list of a bazillion plants and not very easy to narrow down if you have a general idea of what you want. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very Little Info *2015-05-06, version 2.5.4* 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. ### 1/5 — Deceptive description *2014-01-11, version 2.4.14* I purchased for the ability to add my own photos that the description claims it can do. However, once downloaded, it tells me I have to purchase the the PRO version for that capability. I'm already into it for $5 so not wanting to waste that, sprung for the $7 pro version. After that, the add photo is no longer ghosted in . . .so I attempted to add my photos. THEN it says I can only do that with the monthly storage plan at $10 a month! No THANKS!!! ### 1/5 — Still terrible *2013-02-23, version 2.4.10* Two years after wasting good money to buy this useless app, I still find it to be completely useless. When I need to know anything at all about any plant, tree, flower, shrub... I still have to google it to get the information I am wanting. I hate throwing my money away. I was duped. ### 1/5 — Had high hopes *2012-08-28, version 2.4.3* I now grow some vegetables and a lot of fruit in the southwest, somewhat successfully. This app shows zero fruits and vegetables in what Sunset magazine says is my zone. It would help to have a map of the zone this app applies to parts of the country. I'm sorry I spent the money on this app because it does not make suggestions for my area not does it show any plants it thinks I could grow. ### 1/5 — Bollocks *2012-07-03, version 2.4.1* This app is essentially worthless. It is advertised as a landscaping / gardening guide, yet it provide almost zero useable information. I purchased it for tips and tricks / how to's and basic planting and growing knowledge and it provides none of that. It is little more than a compilation of the type of info you'll find on the back side of the plastic plant Id card that comes with the plant when you buy it at a nursery. Can you say refund? ### 1/5 — Landscapers Companion *2012-06-24, version 2.4.1* Very disappointing app. Lacks important information for each plant, such as propagating, pruning and basic care. Not enough photos and missing even basic plant photos such as roses. ### 1/5 — Not Worth It *2012-04-10, version 2.2.1* There is little useful information about the plants and most plants do not have pictures, I wish I'd read the other reviews before buying it. ### 1/5 — Still useless *2012-04-01, version 2.2.1* This app is still pretty useless even after two updates. Search feature works sporadically, many common plants still missing, way too few pics, and now the screen is frozen on one plant, cannot access button to bring up plant categories. Definitely lost money on this one...maybe someday they will get it right. So far I've not found a decent app for referencing garden plants. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2012-04-01, version 2.2.1* Not at all useful, not enough information on the plants, photos vary in quality and helpfulness. Some tree photos just show the branches and not the trunk. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money! *2012-03-17, version 2.2.0* From Minnesota. This doesn't have the most common shrubs and trees I was looking for. Maybe one variety of each specimen. Don't know if deserves one star. Very disappointed! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-07-18, version 2.4.13* I downloaded the standard version and well worth the $$. I like the favorites list option to save as a reference and show plants to clients. The cultural information on each plant is very helpful and comprehensive as well as the photos. I am a landscaper and professional horticulturist and recommend this useful app to anyone that works with plants. ### 5/5 — Incredible resource for high volume landscape designer / garden center sales *2013-06-05, version 2.4.12* Great choice for serious industry professionals. I found this to be an incredible resource to have at hand when offering plant recommendations to customers. The pro upgrade makes tracking large plant lists for many projects simple. Highly recommended! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Best landscaper app EVER *2012-12-20, version 2.4.8* Love the icon. Love the design. But even more I love the product. The app is an amazing source of information. I even upgraded to the pro version because it was so useful to manage multiple plant lists. The notes that I keep on my plants are extremely useful. I said it in my review of the iPhone version. You get a $70 book, and a $30 software suite for only $5. Worth every penny! ### 5/5 — Powerful tool for my landscape business *2012-11-16, version 2.4.7* Super powerful tool for any landscaping professional. The ability to add my own plants and pictures is great. I use it daily in my design business. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2012-05-14, version 2.3.1* Thank you for a great app! I love to work in my flower garden and this is the perfect reference tool! ### 5/5 — Worth every penny! *2012-05-01, version 2.3.0* Now that the weather has warmed up, I can't think of a better iPad App than Landscaper's Companion to get me back into gardening. The interface is beautiful, there are so many great images and descriptions. Easy to search and find just what I'm looking for. 5 STARS - Excellent App! ### 5/5 — Great Gardening App! *2012-01-30, version 2.1.0* This is the best gardening app I have found so far! Very informative! Please continue to add more varieties! Love it! ### 5/5 — Search by bloom time? *2011-03-29, version 1.70* Great updates to the app! I would love to be able to search by bloom time - the months of year that each plant/shrub/tree is at its best color. ### 5/5 — A great gardening app for iPad *2011-03-25, version 1.70* Great app for gardeners. Each update keeps getting better and better - more features and plants for free! ### 5/5 — FIRST CLASS *2010-09-27, version 0* Great app. highly recommend. Has all the plants, trees, scrubs, etc., you will ever need. Good job! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
