Se o app estiver pedindo pagamento mesmo após a assinatura do Premium, pode ser um problema de sincronização. Por favor, tente usar a opção “Restaurar Compra” nas configurações do app. Se ainda assim não funcionar, me escreva em bllhlskr@gmail.com — terei prazer em ajudar pessoalmente para garantir que você tenha acesso completo ao que já comprou. Obrigado por usar o app e pelo seu feedback! 🙏 ### 1/5 — Can only have 1 plant *2023-05-13* Can only have 1 plant before payment **Developer response:** Hello, In order to sustain and continuously improve the application, I am compelled to introduce certain limitations. By starting with just one plant, I am able to offer the basic features of the app for free. Considering the necessity of resources for the development, maintenance, and progression of the application, I find it necessary to introduce payment requirements for additional features or increasing the number of plants. Your support is vital in keeping this app running smoothly and improving its functionalities. If you find the app helpful, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could consider supporting it further with a positive rating or review in the app store. Your feedback helps tremendously in reaching more users and enhancing the app's visibility. Thank you for your understanding, support, and consideration. Best regards, ### 1/5 — Help!! *2022-11-11* I have entered the pictures of my plants and nothing has happened. I get no other options or information. What happened next? **Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry to hear that you're facing issues after entering the pictures of your plants. Could you please check if there's a loading or processing indicator? In some cases, depending on the number or size of the images, the app might take a little time to process the information. If you're still not seeing any progress or options after a while, I recommend restarting the app or your device. This often resolves minor glitches that might occur during image processing. If the issue persists, please feel free to contact our support team at [support email] with more details about the problem, such as the device you're using and any error messages you might have encountered. We'll do our best to assist you further. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Best regards," ### 1/5 — Outdated? *2022-04-26* I downloaded this today because of AppAdvice and started to enter my first plant. After saving, it says ‘OutDated’ where the full date was. I have deleted and re-entered so many times I lost count. Always get ‘OutDated’. The way it was written up in AppAdvice leads one to believe that watering information is provided but that is not the case. What a disappointment! ### 3/5 — Stop demanding a review…. *2022-01-11* This app seems to work fine but in the first 5 minutes it’s already asked me to leave a review 3 times which is annoyingly excessive. Let me actually use the app first… I’m literally only leaving this in hopes that it will turn that feature off… UPDATE: I’m not a big fan of how this app functions. You need to manually check in and tell the app you watered your plant to get the notification which is annoying. I missed a day because of this and now my schedule is a day later and I can’t edit it , I have to make an entirely new entry. It also asks me to upgrade EVERY single time I open it. I’m deleting this app as its very inconvenient to work with. **Developer response:** thank you for your kind feedback. i will solve the review request in the next update it should not behave like that. I'm also working on editing problem. Have a nice day ### 1/5 — Ruim *2021-12-29* Não curti, ele serve somente para você cadastrar suas plantas e sinalizar se foram regadas… ### 1/5 — Liar *2021-12-12* You comes with liar. They said free app. Then want €5 **Developer response:** hi, where exactly it say this is a free app? it always has in app purchases with same price since it published. ### 2/5 — Mehr erwartet *2021-12-11* Toll wäre es, wenn ich die Pflanze fotografieren könnte, dann sagt mir die App „Yucca Palme, 2x pro Woche mit 100ml gießen“ oder so. Die App erinnert nach meinen Vorgaben, aber da ich keinen grünen Daumen habe, weiß ich nicht wie oft ich diese Pflanze gießen soll **Developer response:** hi thank you for your feedback. I'm currently working on this feature please be patient :) ### 1/5 — Where is my premium? *2021-11-07* I’ve paid for the Premium bit didn’t get any. Fix it, please. **Developer response:** hi thank you for your feedback. I will look for this problem. Have a nice day ### 2/5 — Needs more improvements *2021-10-17* Once you add a plant, you can’t make any adjustments to your entry if there is a mistake. It has to be deleted and reentered. Otherwise, it’s a good way to remind me when my schedule gets really busy **Developer response:** hi thank you for your feedback. I'm working on this feature. Have a nice day ### 2/5 — Hmmmm *2021-10-17* Saw this on AppAdvice. Said there’s a free promo for Pro. All I see is a charge of $4.99 and not a promo. Something just seems fishy. Sorry 2 stars. **Developer response:** hi it was free for 36 hours. ### 1/5 — Wrong app for my needs. *2021-09-09* I picked the wrong App. I need one that tells me what type of indoor plant I have and how to care for it. I just paid for something that I can’t use 😫 **Developer response:** you picked the wrong app and gaved me 1 star :) You can easily get refund with no problem. just google it. Have a nice day ### 1/5 — Charged in error *2021-08-10* Went through AppAdvice to get it on the special free today. However, I was charged the full price. Can you please reimburse. Thank you. **Developer response:** Hi app is free i cant see any charges on my end. In two days 2000+ people buyed my app for free. Be relax and wait if you have charged you can always get refund easily no problem. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Edit *2023-11-23* Please add a Feature, where you can Edit your plants when u have already made a reminder for them, so that you can e.g. add a photo afterwards or change the photo. Thanks that would be nice! **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your suggestion and for the 5-star rating! Your feedback and support mean a lot as I continue to improve the app. I really appreciate your valuable input and the high rating you've given. Your support motivates me to further enhance the app's features. If you have any other ideas or feedback, please don't hesitate to share. Thanks once again for the fantastic rating! Best regards, ### 5/5 — Nice idea *2022-01-01* My plant always get watered on time with this app ### 5/5 — Muito bom! *2021-10-16* Muito bom, bem melhor que o app padrão da Apple. Vale a pena! **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review. Have a nice day ### 5/5 — Add editing to app *2021-10-11* It’s very useful app but the main problem is that we can’t edit our plants , Plz add editing to this app **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review. I'm working on it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-08-10, version 1.2.1* So practical!, wonderful , super slick UI! ### 5/5 — Handy app for watering your plants. *2021-08-10* I gave the app 5 stars as it works as advertised. That being said it would be nice to track feeding them also. I like to fertilize every 2-4 weeks. While you could make an additional entry for this, it would be nice to be able to do it under one plant entry. **Developer response:** Hi, you are very nice thank you for your good feedback ### 5/5 — Very nice app for carrying ur plant *2021-08-10* 👍🏻 **Developer response:** Thank you for your review👌 ### 4/5 — House Plant Watering Reminder *2021-08-11* It is exactly what it says it is. My plants will no longer be waiting to be watered. I would like to see a way to remove plants that have died or plant pictures that are of poor quality to be exchanged with a better picture. **Developer response:** Hi thank you for your kind feedback. You can easily remove old plant from your main page just long press over the image. I am currently working on editing plant feature in the next update editing feature will added. ### 4/5 — Nice idea *2021-06-07* I have an orchid that needs 30ml of water once a week, but the slider doesn’t go down that far. It would be better if the user just typed in a number for the water amount (or at least had the option to). **Developer response:** hi thank you for your good review. i will publish new update and solve this problem. Very nice feedback for me. ### 3/5 — Outdated version *2022-04-27* I got it free but cannot update. So stuck with outdated version **Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry for the inconvenience you're experiencing.
