I am new to caring for house plants and wanted something that would help me keep tract of watering schedules and also be a little informative on how to care for each plant. Reading the description of this app I was excited to get it downloaded and couldn’t wait to use it. Within seconds of having the app it crashed. I opened it back up and tried again... every time I typed in the search bar it crashed. I tried 4 times then gave up, didn’t even bother to try anything else cuz what is the point if I can’t search for anything. **Developer response:** Hi LadyMay19! I'm truly sorry that you didn't have a good experience using Plant Pal. Due to time constraints and technical overhauls with our crash analytics tool, it made it more difficult to understand and fix where crashes were happening. However I am pleased to say that I have recently resolved those issues and using the app today should be less of an issue. I hope you do reconsider trying Plant Pal again and have a crash-free experience using it! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-07-20, version 2.0* Crashed 3 times in the 10 seconds I had the app ### 1/5 — Not that great *2019-02-03, version 1.2.5* App is confusing to understand and use. Whenever I search for the most basic plants, its says that the plant cannot be found or doesn’t exist. For me, if within the first 5 minutes I cannot figure the app out or doesn’t get me results, it’s a trash app. ### 5/5 — This app is so helpful! Will keep my plant, Jeff, alive!!!!!! *2017-05-05, version 0.80* 🌸🌺🌷☘️🌼💐 ### 5/5 — Tracy *2017-04-14, version 0.75* Love this app!! I chose plants that I actually have and gave them their real names 😂😂. Quite a bit of really good info about fertilizing. ### 5/5 — Plantastic! *2017-04-14, version 0.75* Amazing app and very informative! Download it! You won't regret it! ## Frequently asked questions about Plant Pal ### How does Plant Pal help me choose a plant?
