### 1/5 — Horrible, crashes instantly

*2017-03-09, version 1.5.0*

Worst app I ever purchased. I can't even add an entry in the app without it crashing instantly. Complete waste of money.

### 1/5 — Wasted time and money

*2017-02-11, version 1.5.0*

Just continually crashes 
Not much to the program anyway 
Very limited 
Try another app

### 2/5 — Nice app for orchidophiles, problems since update

*2016-03-15, version 1.5.0*

I just downloaded the app today and really like it. Now I just want to see more! It would be great if you could arrange your orchids into groups and sort by the different parameters (mounted/potted). It seems like you should be able to collapse your collection down by genus. I would also like to see the picture as a thumbnail on the collection list.  Really nice app and I look forward to any updates.

I like the latest update and look forward to even more features!
-------------------
Just updated and now the app crashes each time I try to open it.
-------------------
I'm disappointed I paid for this app and it is no longer being maintained. It doesn't size to fit iPhone 6 screen and adding photos to an orchid listing doesn't work correctly any more.

### 1/5 — PASS ~ DOES NOT DELIVER

*2013-01-05, version 1.5.0*

This is a poorly put together app with a strikingly poor UI. The app DOES NOT DELIVER the needed organizational structure that is necessary for growers of countless Orchids. The app needs far, far more effort and skill if it is to be worth any end-users' time, energy, and money.

### 4/5 — It's been a great app

*2012-11-26, version 1.5.0*

I've been quite happy with the app. But with the latest update it won't open. Please fix.

### 4/5 — New update problem

*2012-10-02, version 1.5.0*

I love this app, and so was disappointed when I installed the app update. I do NOT have I06 yet, and have a 4s. The App does not even open. I don't want to delete and re-install as I would lose all of my previously entered information.

### 4/5 — Well done

*2012-03-28, version 1.3.0*

I find the app to be very helpful. I would recommend it.

### 2/5 — Serious grower? Don't buy this App!

*2011-11-29, version 1.3.0*

This app has very limited info about orchids.  Useless to even novice growers.  The ability to create your own collection is okay but the app should be free.   Do NOT buy this App!  Not good at any price.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2011-09-05, version 1.3.0*

I have been looking for a way to file information about my extensive orchid collection and, so far, this is the best I have found.  I like the ability to store photos and add notes.  Would like to see a way to view all of the photos and click on it to find the info that matches it.  Also would be nice to have a slide show of the photos.  At any rate, this is great way to store my orchid collection info.  Thanks!

### 4/5 — Good app, easy to use

*2011-08-18, version 1.3.0*

Good app. Highly recommend it for those just getting their collections going but aren't in the 'big leagues' yet of online databases. Easy to use, could be better with more orchid-type culture notes (missing some major branches) and Perhaps and interactive calendar to track blooming/water/growth cycles?
