### 1/5 — False identification

*2026-03-29*

Not able to identify the plant only, what diseases will it identify, waste of time

**Developer response:** Sorry about the experience — I understand how frustrating that must be.

I’m aware of the issue and already working on improving the plant identification and disease detection accuracy. A fix is in progress and will be included in the upcoming update.

If you’re open to it, you can also send me a sample image via support — it really helps me pinpoint and fix these cases faster.

Thanks for pointing this out, I truly appreciate it.

### 1/5 — All plants got deleted, can't restore premium

*2025-11-07*

Yesterday the app was completely overhauled and now it's not the same app as before. I've been using it since 2020, added over 16 plants and now they are all gone. Now I got this stupid app which I can't use because I can't restore my premium account. What's most frustrating is that I don't know which plants I need to water now.

**Developer response:** Hi again!

I just wanted to let you know that I’ve released a new update that fixes the notification issues and improves overall stability. Could you please update the app to the latest version and try restoring your purchase again? In most cases, this resolves the problem right away.

If you still run into any issues, feel free to reach out to me directly at eulersoft.info@gmail.com — I’ll be happy to personally help you get everything sorted.

If the update fixes things for you, I’d really appreciate it if you could consider updating your review to 5 stars. It makes a big difference and helps me continue improving the app.

Thanks again for your patience and support! 🙏

### 1/5 — Filled with annoying ads

*2025-11-07*

You can’t even use the app without it pestering you to buy its ridiculous subscription.

**Developer response:** Hi there — I’m really sorry the prompts felt pushy. I offer a 7-day free trial so you can use every feature without paying first; I thought that was a generous way to let people explore before deciding. Building and maintaining this app (servers, AI, updates, support) is costly, and I’m a solo developer, so balancing sustainability with a smooth experience can be tough—but that’s on me to get right.

I’m reviewing how often the paywall appears and will tone it down in the next update. Your feedback genuinely helps me improve. If the trial and upcoming changes make things better for you, I’d be grateful if you could update your rating—5 stars would mean a lot and really helps me keep the app alive. Either way, thank you for giving it a try.

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2025-07-29*

Acabei de comprar e joguei dinheiro fora. Não funciona nada acontece. Péssimo.

**Developer response:** Oi! Sinto muito pela sua experiência — dói ler que você pagou e nada aconteceu. Eu desenvolvo o app sozinho e levo isso muito a sério. Normalmente, quando algo não funciona é por um destes motivos: conexão instável no primeiro acesso, permissões de câmera/fotos negadas ou a compra não foi restaurada corretamente.

Para resolver rápido:
	1.	Abra o app → Ajustes → Restaurar compras
	2.	Verifique a internet e permita as permissões da câmera/fotos
	3.	Se ainda não funcionar, fale comigo pelo link “App Support” na App Store. Posso ajudar a resolver na hora — e, se preferir, também consigo orientar no reembolso pela Apple.

Eu ofereço um teste grátis de 7 dias para que ninguém precise pagar antes de ter certeza, e vou deixar esse fluxo mais claro nas próximas versões.

Se eu conseguir colocar tudo nos trilhos para você, poderia atualizar sua avaliação? Um 5 estrelas ajuda muito um desenvolvedor solo como eu a manter o app vivo. Obrigado por ter testado!

### 1/5 — I can't add plants

*2025-02-16, version 1.2.33*

Hello, i bought the app in 2020 and since a few weeks I can't add new plants. The app tells me to buy premium. When I want to buy premium the app tells me I already have premium but it isn't possible to restore my premium. So now I am not able to add new plants which is really annoying, because I love the app and have over 20 plants saved :/ can u help me?

Edit: now the app is completely buggy and extremely slow. 
I get ads all the time although i bought the app in 2020. I also don't get a respond from the owner off the app why I can't restore my purchase.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-10-27*

I paid 5,99€ for the premium version and now everytime I want to add a new plant the app asks me to pay 5,99€ AGAIN!

**Developer response:** Hi, i am really sorry for your problem. I'am working on it, in the next update i will solve it. You can always get refund with no problem. Thank you for downloading my app. after the update please review your comment.

### 1/5 — Won’t work after purchase

*2024-10-14*

I bought this app but instead of it unlocking and working, I am stopped at the “Premium version” “One time purchase” screen. It won’t unlock. Worthless.

**Developer response:** Hi, i am really sorry for your problem. I'am working on it, in the next update i will solve it. You can always get refund with no problem. Thank you for downloading my app. after the update please review your comment.

### 1/5 — 有料版購入も、追加機能使えず。

*2024-09-29*

700円でプレミアムバージョンを購入しました。

購入すれば制限なく植物のデータを追加できると記載していましたが、1件しか登録できません。

植物追加の ＋ ボタンを押すと
プレミアムバージョンの購入画面が出てきます。
(すでに購入しているのに…)

「今すぐアンロック」のボタンを押すと
再度購入する画面になり、そのまま進めていくと

「このアイテムは購入済みです。
無料で再入手しますか？」
というテキストが出てきます。

「はい」を押すと
「完了しました」と出てきてホーム画面に移り変わります。

しかし植物は追加できず、無料版の機能のままです。

一時的なエラーであれば
デベロッパーの方がこのコメントを読んでくれることを願っています。

もしも詐欺のようなアプリであればとても残念に思います。

### 1/5 — I would like to cancel my purchase

*2024-09-15*

I payed for the subscription, but I can’t add new plants. Even though I’m a premium user, it’s still requiring a new payment.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your message and I’m really sorry for the inconvenience!

If you’ve already paid for the subscription but the app is still asking for another payment, it’s likely a syncing issue. Could you please try tapping the “Restore Purchase” button in the app settings? This should unlock your Premium access without charging you again.

If that doesn’t solve it, feel free to contact me at bllhlskr@gmail.com — I’ll make sure you get access as soon as possible.

Thanks again for supporting the app! 🙏

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-08-21*

I paid for premium and it still won’t let me add more than one plant. Scam.

**Developer response:** Hi, I’m really sorry to hear that and I completely understand your frustration.

If you’ve paid for Premium and still can’t add more than one plant, it’s likely a syncing issue. Please try tapping the “Restore Purchase” button in the app’s settings — that usually resolves it instantly and won’t charge you again.

If it still doesn’t work, please email me directly at bllhlskr@gmail.com — I’ll make sure you get full access right away or issue a refund if needed.
Thanks for your patience, and again, I’m truly sorry for the trouble.
