### 1/5 — Garbage

*2020-09-03*

Can only log 3 orchids so it’s not even worth the trouble to down load it.  It’s just a scam to try to get you to buy the app ! So bye bye up will be deleting it.

### 1/5 — Limited

*2019-10-20*

I have only been able to log three plants....

**Developer response:** This limitation is described in the first 2 lines of the app description.

### 3/5 — Cadê as atualizações ? Melhorias ?

*2018-09-25*

Medio

### 1/5 — Poor

*2017-11-13*

Why on earth would I need a separate line for genus and species when that info is already on the name line?  And since I’m only inputting orchids in my collection I hardly need a line telling me it’s in my collection!  Sheesh.  Not to mention you only get to input 3 orchids to trial this app.  How cheap and cheesy can you get!  Cattleya log was cheaper and better.

**Developer response:** The Name field is typically used to include descriptive information about the orchid, including identifying info labeled on the container. It's not necessarily needed for genus and species.

### 3/5 — Display blank field?

*2015-02-18*

Great app. Need to be able to hide unwanted field and blank field when viewing. I don't want to scroll through it to get to the button list. If there is no info it shouldn't be displayed. YES, in edit mode, it is necessary to show everything user selected. I will buy it when this is fixed. It is a pain to go through it every time.

### 5/5 — Trail version of an awesome app

*2014-12-08*

This app and the developer deserve awards.

I use this app to catalogue my extensive plant collection (not exclusive to orchids). I can record all kinds of data about my plant, plus as many photos as I like.

It enables me to back up the data to a computer, and enter data via Excel, on a computer. I can also export a report of my collection to a web-based format that can be saved and printed.

Amazingly, the app developer is very responsive and helpful. 

I hunting long and hard for a suitable app, or website, to catalogue my extensive plant on and Orchid Album / Cactus Album was the perfect solution.

Thanks a million.
