### 5/5 — Plant Album

*2025-07-23*

I really like this app. I downloaded it several months ago after trying several other apps. I wanted an app I could keep a record of my plants, photos, plant care, where they are planted, etc. This is not a plant ID app, and there is no subscription to keep your garden info active. Plant Album offers a lite version if you want to try it first, but for a small price it is yours with no limit to all the plants, photos, and info you want to add.

### 5/5 — Plant Album

*2024-11-20*

I just started using this app, and I really like it!  One request if it would be possible is to set it up where you could select more than one garden. Currently, you can only select one garden where a plant is located. Several of my perennials are in more that one bed. It would be nice to be able to select multiple gardens when needed. Still a great app! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 1/5 — Nervig

*2023-11-11*

Eine tolle App wenn man während der Dateneingabe nicht dauernd aus dieser rausfliegt,dann alles weg ist und man noch mal alles eingeben muss.

### 3/5 — Synchronisation automatique

*2023-08-28*

Bonjour,
Bonne application, cependant aucune synchronisation possible entre smartphone et tablette soit par icloud ou par l’identifiant Apple.
J’avoue ne pas comprendre. Un manque évident de confort.
Pensez-vous y remédier?
Cordialement

**Developer response:** Bien que l'application ne prenne pas en charge la synchronisation automatique, vous pouvez toujours transférer la base de données vers un autre appareil iOS via AirDrop. Appuyez sur Sauvegarder la base de données sur l’écran Outils de l’application, puis sur AirDrop. Appuyez sur l'appareil AirDrop vers lequel transférer la base de données, puis acceptez le fichier sur cet autre appareil. La même base de données apparaîtra ensuite dans l'application sur l'autre appareil une fois que vous avez appuyé sur le bouton Restaurer lors du chargement de l'application. Veuillez me contacter via le bouton e-mail d'assistance dans l'application si vous avez d'autres questions.

### 2/5 — Basic and problematic.

*2023-06-24*

The app keeps crashing every time I try to add information about my first plant.  I also hoped for a journal that would help me fill in information I don’t know such as scientific names.  It’s going to take forever to fill in the plant information for each species with no ability to reference any databases from the app. I’ve got at least 80 species to catalog. You basically have to create all the databases yourself.

### 4/5 — Love it but missing some save options

*2023-03-28*

Working very fine ut I loose all my data when my phone broke. 
Is it possible to have a cloud version (to share with several phones) , that wi be the best 
or to allow to save and import from a  local file (the option provided don’t really work fine)

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to site

*2023-03-16*

So far I haven’t been able to use it.  It’s making me connect to something I don’t understand why.

**Developer response:** There is no site to connect to. As explained in the app description, it only contains data that you have added to it and it does not interact with an external site. If you use the database backup, restore, import, or export features, the app will show the address of your iPhone or iPad on your local WiFi network. This address allows you to connect to the app and access your database from the web browser on a computer or other device. Please contact me via the email link in the app for further details.

### 4/5 — Needs a couple of new fields added

*2022-08-03*

I really like the app in a lot of ways.  It is doing  a great job of letting me add my flowers in all my different beds.  A recommendation to bring my review up to 5 stars is to add some new fields - I would love to identify my native perennials and bloom time.  I’ve repurposed the weight field for bloom time, but being able to choose from a drop down field would be a huge time saver.  It would be great to be able to rename or add the field name, change the characteristic from numeric to text or a drop down menu.  But overall, the best app I’ve tried for categorizing them.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2022-06-14*

This is a great little app but, it lacks the ability to add plants to multiple gardens without duplicating plant logs. If it had that option this would be perfect.

### 5/5 — Life changing!

*2022-06-04*

I have several hundred tropical plants and it’s hard to keep track of what I have and where I put it. This lets me set up “gardens” all over my house and outside. 

I can add notes about individual plants that might need some special attention, and reminders to water according to schedules I can define.

So many more things to love about it!
