Advertised bug fixes still not working
After the app working for the first several months I’ve had the MiracleGro Twelve, it suddenly stopped allowing me to connect to the server on log-in, which persists to this day despite the advertised “bug fixes” which I just today received an email from MiracleGro about. Despite multiple attempts at creating a new account or working around this problem, I cannot create a new Scott account and link it either as the app always demands I verify my email but then never sends a verification. The error remains “cannot connect to server.” I can still receive notifications that my device needs water, but that is the only update I can get and I have no control over the light cycle or scheduling my plant grows.

Almost perfect, but can’t run just the lights
So I really am enjoying using the miracle grow system, I have had wonderful crops of lettuce and the app is a big help. BUT I really wish you could run just the lights and not the pump so I can use the lights to start some tomato plants in between growing lettuce. I noticed you can easily unplug the pump and pin the low water indicator up so it thinks it’s full. But then the lights start flashing saying there’s an error, water pump isn’t working. It would be great to have an override of the error so I can just use the grow lights by themselves…. Seems like you should be able to do this….

Worst
This app has not been working for weeks and no one will contact me back. There are no updates or support
Cannot get the app to even open
This has been so frustrating!!!! I want to use the app to control the lighting and cannot even get the app to recognize I exist. This sounded like a great idea and I gave this as gifts for Christmas and NO ONE can get the app to work on our iPhones.

The gardens themselves are awesome, I have 2 but the app stinks. I’ve had the 2 gardens for awhile now and the app has never worked correctly from day one. Half the time it won’t connect or it doesn’t stay connected, I try to end plant cycles and add new plants and it won’t keep the new info or end the old plant cycle. Good idea but the the app never works right, the app stinks!

Too many bugs in the app
I absolutely love my Miracle-gro 12 but beginning about 2 months ago, the app has crashed on me several different ways. Currently, I’m unable to connect to my table via Bluetooth. Last time, it was not recognizing the plants I had in the table for a month, and before that, it kept freezing on login, and before that, it would load a blank page when trying to use “help”. If the app worked like it should, this would be a 5star review. I’d love to change my rating, but first it has to work.

Apps backend servers are down
Can’t log into app. Can’t reset password. Servers are down, website gives me a 505 error. Is the app discontinued because that’s literally the only way I can control this unit. Now I have a $300 useless growing device I can’t set the on off time to.
Awful and so glitchy
For a device that is entirely controlled by an app, you would imagine that the app would be functional and efficient. But no, just the setup for my device took about an hour cause the app kept timing out and having server errors. Absolute nightmare. They should give an alternate option to using this app to control the machine because it’s terrible.

Not ready for prime time
The system is great, but the app is useless. Every time I open the app it is like starting anew. The app frequently cannot communicate with the devices, never updates for changes made, and in general is just a waste of time.
I can’t even sign up to make an account
So far I’ve been trying to set up my account for 45 minutes now and everytime I put in a new email for sign up it comes up JPARSE ERROR…. I try again and then it says the email is already registered. I try to log in with all of the different accounts I’ve “created” but none of them work and comes up with the same JPARSE ERROR… I click forget password and I receive the email, however it sends me to the company site and no direction as to where I can reset my password. Never have I had such an issue with getting a product set up.

Plants on all night and the app won’t let me log in
The app has been saying an error lately titled “JSON parse error: unrecognized token” that won’t let me log in, this error is very difficult because the machine will stay on all day and all night and won’t trigger the auto shut off, the only solution is connecting via the app. Its such an expensive product all for what? An app that doesn’t work most of the time?

Okay but missing key features
The app allows the user to select what time to turn on the lights each day, but does not allow adjustments to the number of hours per day the lights are on. My lettuce is suffering from inner tip burn and I am trying to decrease the number of hours the light is on to prevent it. But the app only allow a 14 hours on 10 hours of schedule. Seems like a must have feature for healthy plants!

Frustrating.
This app may have potential but it is forever logging me out and making me re-agree to the terms of service. It also resets the plant food reminder so even though I have fed it — it keeps giving me reminders.
Has potential
I want more control over the schedule. No matter what you plant, this thing wants to run 14 hours a day and you can’t stop it. This app hasn’t been updated since the device was released to add a single feature. MORE CONTROLS PLEASE
It has potential
This seems like a good enough idea for how to add more control to growing your plants, but crucial features that would enable that control are missing. The total lack of light control being the big one for me. Why not allow the user to adjust the time the light is on during the grow, or allow the user to change the brightness of the light schedule? The app makes it look like you could change that, so it must have been something they had in mind.
As well, the ability to log events in the calendar (like when water got low) would enable you to track how often one is likely to need to water - something that would be invaluable when traveling and unable to add water at a moment's notice.
The app is promising but seems to have been cut short of features to get it out the door. Please update it and make it what it was (I assume) meant to be.

New version does not work
Since I updated the app, I can no longer access any of it. I’m stuck in a loop where I click “get started”, then I have to accept the new privacy notice, and that brings me back to the same get started page and over and over again. Now I have no idea when to fertilize my plants (or anything else for that matter), as I had not written anything down on paper when I planted since I was relying on the app. Please fix ASAP!!!!

worst. app. ever.
The hydroponics kit is great, but half the reason I got this thing is the tech behind it. The app is supposed to do so much, but yet doesn’t save anything — and bugs out every time you open it. Atrocious.
Please read the tos before using!
This is a complete joke that this company would ask for so much stuff! Bank account numbers, accounts, sleep patterns, sexual orientation, and so much more. Honestly this company should be ashamed of themselves! What a joke!
If you don’t believe me, read it for yourself!

Works... but glitchy
My app never saved custom plants no matter how many times I tried. Also, when I add plant food, I can’t indicate it on the calendar in order to be reminded when to feed again. The app only provides one function which is to set the time the light will come on and off - and It often crashes. Last and most annoying, the low water light will begin to blink even in the middle of the night, waking us up. We live in a studio apartment where there is nowhere to “hide” it. The app knows what time it is and should be smart enough not to blink until a reasonable time in the morning.

Just got it
UPDATE: I got another device and set it up. It was fine for a few days then suddenly today I noticed that the first device disappeared. Also when I only had the first device it keeps on disconnecting from the phone when the water level becomes low and would not turn off the light as scheduled since it got disconnected from the phone. When I didn’t know what was causing it I tried closing the app, uninstalling and reinstalling it ad even turn off and off the miracle gro twelve. This didn’t solve the issue. The device is great but the app has a lot of bugs and crashes all the time. I wish they can fix the app as I really like the device itself. It is just frustrating to always reads the devices and the plants when it loses the information you already supplied.

I am loving it, but I echo some of the reviews that we cannot customize the time the light is on (if I wanted less than 14 hours for example) or how long the override can be done. Also I have been trying to add a plant not listed but it is giving me an error saying to check my internet connection. Also I was trying to change that I have already fed with the supplements but I don’t seem to find a way to update it.
