## What is Plant Daddy?

Plant Daddy helps you to care for your plants. It’s a beautiful, modern app that allows you to add your plants, record notes such as care information, and schedule water reminders. It’s that simple! You don’t even need to create an account.

Plant Daddy is focused and intuitive. It intentionally does not include features like plant identification, care suggestions, light detection, etc. Other apps and websites can accomplish those needs. This is your cute little place to store your own information, get reminded when it’s time to water, and admire your lovely collection.

How to Use
‣ Add a plant, give it a name, and preferably a gorgeous photo
‣ Enter any notes you’d like to reference such as care instructions, light requirements, soil needs, etc
‣ Maybe add more information such as the date planted, scientific name, location, etc
‣ Set how often you’d like to water your plant and a notification will be sent when it's watering time

### 4/5 — Could be perfect

*2026-05-19*

If this app had the ability to add custom tasks for plants and sort by room, it would be PERFECT. I love how beautiful and minimalistic it is, but unfortunately, it will not work for my collection in LECA. Will be keeping an eye on it for updates.

### 5/5 — Easy, Fun, and Worth it

*2026-04-03*

Love this app. I have 20 plants. The $3 cost is worth it. App syncs across your devices so you can easily keep track of the watering schedule. It’s fun to update the photos as the plants grow and bloom.

### 5/5 — Perfect App for Plant Lovers 🌿

*2026-03-04*

I’ve been using the Plant Daddy app and it has been amazing 🤩. The interface is clean, beautiful, and very easy to use. It makes organizing and tracking my plants incredibly simple.

I love how I can add details like scientific names, watering reminders, notes, and photos for each plant. It helps me stay consistent with care and really understand my collection better.

My plant family is already at 18 plants 🌿 and this app has made managing them fun instead of overwhelming. Highly recommend it for anyone building or growing their plant collect

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind review 🤗 glad you like it!

### 5/5 — Straightforward and great app

*2026-02-26*

Highly recommend. You get reminders for watering, can make notes, and now there’s a calendar to show you when you’ve previously watered. Perfect!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-02-24*

Exactly what I was looking for. Love the picture option for each plant. The app is simple but most important things work and reminder + calendar also great. I am a privacy conscious person so I checked the privacy section and no personal data except for the plants is collected which was also a selling point for me. Highly recommend for someone who has many plants or simply tends to forget to water them on time.

### 1/5 — Deleted all my plants

*2026-01-04, version 3.5.2*

Was working perfectly since I bought it but opened today and it deleted all of my plants.

### 3/5 — Perfect conceptually, but…

*2025-12-27*

The app is PERFECT! Setup is amazing, format is beautiful, if you have four or less plants, this is for you! After that, it’s 3 dollars— NOT A LOT, I know, and I understand that the creator needs to earn off this and I respect it! I’m just someone who really doesn’t like paying for things I don’t have to. My props to the creator though for the design! It’s a beautiful app, like I said, and if I were a spender, I would 100% put the money in your unlock the rest of my plants, just not today! Keep creating though!!

### 5/5 — Great shortcut integration

*2025-12-03*

The App has very good integration into iOS shortcuts. For example you can retrieve a list of thirsty plants.

### 1/5 — Badge bug

*2025-06-22, version 3.4*

Got this app because Flora’s notification and badge count was rarely accurate. This worked for. Few weeks, long enough for me to pay for it. Now the badges don’t work so it’s basically worthless for me.

### 1/5 — Deceptive.

*2025-05-29, version 3.4*

It doesn’t tell you anywhere in the app description that you have to pay £2.99 to put more than 4 plants, “all the plants!” In app purchases isn’t exactly telling. 

Would’ve been a good app but I won’t pay out of principle.. let people know.
