Great for Landscaping ideas
This app gives you a chance to see what planted perennials will look like before the expense of purchasing real ones. It’s fun! I recommend trying it.
Disappointed
Wanted an app where I could put in zone, plant type like tree or shrub, light available in my spot , height desired, foliage color and get a list of plants that fit. This app doesn’t do that. Disappointed.
Fair: will not work offline
downloaded pictures for 2 hours for offline use would not work! Large database. Enough information for buying. Good filters for searching. Emails are ignored. Don't Buy!
Help. This app stole my money.
It says there is a new version available. ¿?¿?
Like it so far...
Update- No response to my problem via email, so, or addressed here so gave one star and deleted.
Can't figure out how to edit an entry on "My Plants" feature. I like it except for this and lack of response from developer. Will up rating when/if my issue is resolved.

When you upgrade phone, all info is lost
Unbelievably, you can't log in to your account from a new device and retrieve your notes, projects, photos. I used this religiously for a year, upgraded my phone, and everything's irretrievable. There's a big market for a reliable gardening app designed similarly to this app, but this app isn't it.
Wasted $15
Bought this because it said you could upload your pix and take notes on them. That feature is only in the pro version which costs another $5. I bought it and still don't see how I can upload them. The catalog doesn't include my plants so I have to enter all the info. Been working with this for 30 mins and I think I will give up.

Needs a little work but still like it a lot
I'm a professional gardener and enjoy this app a lot. There are some glitches that need to be fixed, like repeat plants and it would be nice to have more detailed info on a lot of them. But I upgraded and love that I can add my own plants, have projects to save my ideas to. I wish the designers would talk to gardeners and landscapers to perfect this but all in all its a good app.

Extremely limited selection for the bloated price
I bought this hoping it would provide me information on plants. Unfortunately it was extremely limited on its plants. Not once did I see one plant that I was looking for in this app's catalog. Not once! I ended up going on line and to find my plants! Hardly worth the $10 for such a useless catalog. Maybe you have to upgrade to get a fuller catalog but if so, that's unacceptable for such an expensive app! Heck, For $20-30 what you pay here you could just go down to the bookstore and buy a regional gardening book and it would be much more informative and with ALL the plants you'd want to look up so why waste money and Disc space for this? I'll definitely be asking for a refund once I get home to my Mac.

False Advertising.
It's unbelievable that the app developer states that there are 26,000 plants listed on the iPhone app spread over 17 categories. I personally tallied the total number of plants listed on this app in less than 10 minutes. Bulbs-22 listings, cacti-1 listing, evergreens-49 listings, ferns-28, flowering trees-9, grass-11, ground over -20, herbs-792, houseplants-2, palms-0, perineal -148, roses-6, shrubs-129, trees-17, vegetable,fruit,berries-10, water plants-1.
Also note that while this iPhone app will work on your iPad you will have to pay another $10 to have it fully functional.
The only thing green this person is interested in is your money!

The Best Gardening App I've Used
I've tried pretty much every gardening app out there and this one is, by far, my favorite. It's beautifully designed and has the largest selection of plants and flowers anywhere. I can see pictures of everything with links to the original images so I can copy/paste them if I want.
I've found myself using the sort feature a lot too. It allowed me to filter by a variety of characteristics so I can find just the right type of plant.
These guys have done a great job and this app is well worth the money.

Killer app... Awesome updates
Best app to help you plan out your landscaping. Killer information source. It's like getting a $70 horticulture encyclopedia for pennies.
Worth every cent, and he just keeps making it better!

Continually Improving!!!
5 stars. I'm a licensed Landscape Horticulturist. This was one of the first horticulture apps available; I've used it from the beginning and it is by far my favorite... SO, to all the complainers: If you can't find the info you're looking for, or if a photo doesn't match a cultivar... Stop whining! Contact the developer with any discrepancies you come across. That's what I did... The number of updates are proof someone's listening. The fact the developer is open to feedback - and acts on it! - makes this app even better.

Crashes every time
When I first bought this program I wasn't too impresses by it. Mostly because I expected to be able to add my own info. But it seemed like they were always updating it so I had hopes it would get better.
Today I tried to use the app the for the first time in a long time and it crashes every time when I try to open it. There have been several upgrades downloaded since I last used it so I don't know at which point it became a problem, but it seems other reviews mention the same problem.
I guess I'll go back to using my huge but stable A-Z book. Not so portable, but it never crashes.

Not yet ready for prime time.
It is true this app had come a long way. Still, it's not where it could be. Improved from the earlier version, yes ---- it has improved.
I don't like having to pay more for the privilege of being able to add my own information. Give me a clear statement the information I put in this app or my photos will not be used in any manner. I'd like that to upgrade to pro.
Lastly, crashes - this is silly at best. I had to delete the app after uploading as it crashed every time I tried to open it.
After I reloaded the new version and I went to the contact page, oops the app crashed again.
Until I can use this app to enhance my gardening experience the app is only worth 3 stars. This app should be top of the line. Not a 3 or 4 year project.
I do like this app overall, it just not ready.

Limited usefulness
Update: 12 July 2013
Still fair even with the Pro upgrade. Little or no intuitive spelling look-up (I can't always spell the name I'm looking for). Several or even many duplicate entries, e.g Crossvine and Cross Vine. Not sure if there is such a thing as "plantpedia", but if so, this would be a great step in providing a wealth of information.
And last, but not least, some of this comment should have been in a "contact us" email, but, alas, the link is broken.
Fair at best. Has a long way to go information wise before it becomes a truly informational and helpful plant/planting app.

Handy app
I find this app helpful when I'm plant shopping. It's easy to use and gives basic care requirements. Good search features and pictures. Could improve by expanding the amount of plants and adding greater detail of care required at different times of year.
Great all around reference
It has a great range of flowers, trees,shrubs, etc... I do say it could use a update there is still much more could be added. Not knocking it definitely a worthy download..
Very Disappointing
I expected to use this app to choose plants for my garden, then keep a running account of their progress including pictures and notes. This maybe possible with the additional Pro feature for an additional cost on top of the already expensive price for the regular version. There are many random photos which have no order or connection to each other. The photography is poor. For example there's a picture of a tree with a big truck parked in front of it. Another has a photo shot thru a windshield with the reflection of the steering wheel in the photo. AND I can't delete this junk and replace it with my own photos. Maybe this is OK for a beginning gardener but certainly not for a landscaper.

A wonderful app for my yard & future garden!!
I must admit I do not have two green thumbs; however, this this is the best app I have found for our yard and garden. I really easily able to use this app while visiting the stores and mapping out where each plant, flower, and tree are need to be planted. My favorite part is how each item gives the details of water needs, sun, and the soil zones; which far less questions for my wife, and parents...
