## What is Plant Album Lite?

It also includes database backup and export over WiFi (but not restore/import), allowing easy upgrade to the full version. The full version has no such limitations. **

### 4/5 — Please Add Support for Hybrids

*2023-11-19*

I love Orchid Album. It’s great. I only gave 4 stars because Plant Album doesn’t have support for hybrids. Please add the ability to capture hybrid parents to Plant Album like you have in Orchid Album.

### 1/5 — Seria bom mas

*2023-01-24*

Só da pra registrar 3plantas

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2020-08-21*

It takes time & research to add all your info. But so far so good!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2020-07-04*

I simply wanted an app to catalog my plants and have pictures. I have a number of daylillies and I try to keep track of colors and bloom times. I have assigned a number to each plant and have tags for the plants to match. This app gives you a number of options for things you might want to keep track of. Such as source and when acquired.  Only had the app for a week but so far works great!

### 5/5 — Great example of the full app

*2020-04-19*

Good to be able to get this lite version to see how the full app works... found it to be exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you.

### 5/5 — 💞💞💞

*2020-02-16*

This is such a great app, I am about to get the actual app right now after a few weeks of using this Lite version. It has everything you need. I love it.

### 5/5 — Sehr gut

*2019-09-17*

Die kostenlose App vermittelt einen guten Eindruck und hilft zu entscheiden, ob man die Vollversion erwerben will. 3 Pflanzen können angelegt werden. Die Daten lassen sich problemlos auf die Vollversion, andere Geräte und den Computer übertragen. Für Pflanzenfreunde eine schöne Sache. Merçi :-)

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2019-04-21*

Only allowed to input 3 plant logs - odd way to design a lite version of a full app? All in all, pointless

### 5/5 — Great App

*2018-09-09*

I’m loving this app can store lots of information about my desert roses and it’s very easy to use.

### 2/5 — Don’t waste your time.

*2018-04-04*

I was happy with this app as it’s more basic than the rest of these gardening apps and had everything I needed. It’s the only gardening app I’ve found that I like or have gotten on with. 

That has changed however as after over a week of using it I am only now finding out you can only have 3 logs in your log book. 
Which, of course, is an important part of gardening. There was nothing said about this (not even mentioned in FAQs) so I now feel like I have wasted my time using this app when I could of been using something else. 

Word to developer(s):
This is also not how you should do a lite app. I can handle less features on the app but the features you have should not be limited on the amount or at least you should tell people before they get the app so they don’t feel like they’re wasting their time. 

Shame too because I was going to buy the pro app of this.

**Developer response:** I'm honestly a little baffled by this review. Have you perhaps confused this app with another?

From the very first paragraph of the App Store description:
** Note: This is the free Lite version of Plant Album. The Lite version is almost identical to the full version, but only allows you to store up to 3 gardens, 3 plants, 3 watering schedules, and 3 log entries with 3 photos each. It also includes database backup and export over WiFi (but not restore/import), allowing easy upgrade to the full version. The full version has no such limitations. **

These limitations are also documented on the support web site for this app, including question 3 of the FAQ. Please note that anything you enter into the Lite version can be easily transferred to the full paid version. Also, unlike many other competing apps, the purchase of the paid version is a one-time fee. There are no additional monthly or annual subscription fees required to use it.
