### 5/5 — Really love the app

*2026-06-18*

I really love the app and would give it 5 stars but there are missing orchid types in the watering choices, and no option to add them either, for example, Grammatophyllum and Cymbidium. Thank you for a very useful app.

Update: I would not remove any stars but would certainly add 1 if there was a way to search quickly through my collection . Other than that, I recommend this app all the time.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t synch

*2026-01-01, version 2.4*

Waste of money. Doesn’t synchronize across devises and the import export function is more archaic than the word archaic.  Waste of money.  Deleted the app within an hour

### 5/5 — Super

*2025-11-03*

Top. Das beste Orchideen Album welches es auf dem Markt gibt. Absolut klasse. Wird es noch auf iOS 26 angepasst?

### 5/5 — Excellent pour gerer votre collection d’Orchidée.

*2025-05-16*

Une application vraiment bien pensée. Ca sent le vécu. Gestion arrosage dynamique, le pedigré de chaque Orchidée. Photo à l’appui. Une proposition d’amélioration, ajout de la date de rempotage. Un grand merci.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2025-02-08*

This app is working well for me. Only one thing missing is a way to list orchids I’ve killed😁

### 5/5 — Update fixed problems

*2024-11-04*

Work great after update - it used to allow me to keep track of all these plants. We all know how fast this grows (no joke intended). But it is nice to keep track of when you get a plant and when it blooms and who you purchased them from.

**Developer response:** All known crashes are fixed in the just-released v2.3 update. Please contact me via the support email button in the app if there are any further issues. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2024-11-04*

So nao sei colocar em alguma nuvem

### 1/5 — App won’t open after update

*2024-11-03, version 2.2*

After the most recent update, the app won’t even open. My iOS is not too old, unclear why it won’t work. Disappointed as I paid for this app.

### 5/5 — Melhorias

*2024-11-02*

Sugestão de adição campo subgênero e para excluir cadastro, deveria perguntar para confirmar a exclusão.

### 5/5 — I Love it!!

*2024-11-02*

Helps me to organize my 300+ orchids.  By location and type.  I am able to keep track of the last repot, fertilizing and watering.
