User reviews

Widget

I can’t get the accessibility widget off the app. It’s really intrusive so I have deleted the app.

Disappointing with limitations on searches

We like going ‘yellow booking’ but are increasingly frustrated by the App ( and website).
Seems to be no way to set a perimeter for the searches and by county is useless if you live on the border of 4 of them.
Map is now very poor and relies on opening each garden in turn.
Every time we have searched we get different answers. It’s clunky, limited and not a patch on what it was 5 years ago.
Needs reprogramming

I just cannot get this app nor the website to work!

Surely whoever is supporting such a fab charity as the NGS can get a grip on the IT problems being reported. It’s clear some people can get the app to work but so many are reporting problems. We’ve reverted to the magazine to check the program of open gardens.
All the home owners who invest so much effort into opening their gardens deserve better support from the IT to ensure visits and charity donations are maximised.

Really useless

The app is no longer fit for purpose and I now just use the booklet and hope there are no last minute cancellations .

I AGREE - DOES NOT WORK

As others have commented, it doesn’t work. How can it be worse than the old version?
