User reviews

OK but needs some work

This app is generally useful and easy to use but is some steps away from being great. I had no trouble setting it up, and I like that observations are logged using straightforward Y/N questions. However, like another reviewer from 1 year ago, I can’t see my comments as I’m typing them and it locks me in the keyboard. To get back to the observation, I have to click a response to one of the questions that are visible. Then I can see the comment. As with entering the comment initially, to edit the comment, I have to blindly backspace over it and retype (carefully) without seeing it. Seems like this should be fixed by now if someone noted the problem a year ago. Also, the app frequently crashes. I’m tracking five plants, and the app usually crashes at least twice before I get the five observations entered. Finally, the calendar shows I entered observations on a date that I did not and says there are no observations when I open that date. There shouldn’t be a green check mark on that date in the calendar. For reference, I’m on an iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18.3.1.

Doesn’t work

It’s useless. Every time I attempt to launch, it is forever loading data

Great program, app sometimes frustrating

Probably because I have a smaller phone, the keyboard covers up what I’m trying to type. No way to edit typos in site comments, either, because of the same issue.

creating the account is the worst part

Setting up an account is very much like doing taxes. I stopped when I found myself tempted to tap ok just because there was no way to back out. Like partnering with organizations I never heard of. Now I remember why I didn't get involved years ago.

I started to have missing plants on my garden. Someone dug them up and it’s alarming that if you have plants that are rare that someone would kill or steal them ! I’m kinda broken-hearted .
