### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-08-20*

Why wait until the steps to accumulate to tell me about a subscription model? $6.99 a month? Beautiful concept so I’m heartbroken!

### 1/5 — we hate apps where we have to pay!!!!

*2026-08-03*

it’s useless to make an app that can’t be used unless you pay for it. maybe make people PAY FOR THE APP. that’ll waste less people’s times. with all the FREE TO USE apps in this world, this one is worthless. people NEED to review. no reason why this app should have more than 2 stars.

### 5/5 — So cute

*2026-07-22*

It’s so cute and it really motivates me to walk. Plus I help plant trees

### 3/5 — Nice but you didn’t warn us the trees we walked for would cost 6 dollars to plant after walking!

*2026-06-12*

Nice concept, got me walking and moving a lot,  hear me out, it’s going to be a long bunch of text! I have seen something like this where you walk to plant virtual trees and eventually a tree in real life, I think it would be great alternative to the defunct Treecard app however needs work…Plant The World got my hopes up and left me disappointed alongside other apps didn’t exactly force me to pay  each month to plant a tree like your app, and told me right away there was options to support them directly. In the tutorial I didn’t see that payment was mandatory in order to keep using the app.

I would like if it did plant not just trees but also flowers in real life, as it make it different from Treecard Nor does it say where you plant the tree or who you partnered with upfront like Treecard does. Treecard only makes you walk 10,000 steps for majority of its trees. I really like the flowers and the tree that popped up in the playing field, that was positively cool.

50,000 steps took a while and the app did not warn me to pay first to make a difference! If the bugs get fixed more would use the app knowing fully that every step does add up. 

Another app called Treekly  forces people to pay a lot of the time but it shows right where the finds go and how many trees it plants, paying is optional for those apps, the pedometer is still useful. Treekly doesn’t stop me from counting steps it resets each week. Tree card at least let me plant the virtual tree and puts it to use while counting the next steps after I click the plant tree button… 
Your app pauses sometimes freezes and stops the functions and forces a paywall instead of just letting us have a demo and keep the virtual garden growing. There should be a paid version and a free version, one for fun and fitness and one for greenery and fitness…I believe it can be improved and can take off, so if you are part of a group, you could have a ko fi or PayPal page for passionate people to support your good cause, perhaps have a kickstarter if need be? Tree card and Treekly have been okay but I am always looking for new apps. I think you could open this up to new audiences on android Google play or something. When I look up Plant The World it is hard to find in search results, more people who use the app, the more it can be improved. Thank you for your time. Take care.

### 1/5 — 50,000 steps a day or total?

*2026-06-07*

That seems a little bit much. The most I got 20,555. But 50,000? That’s just crazy!

**Developer response:** Don't worry, it's cumulative! Your steps won't reset each day.

### 3/5 — Adorable but costs

*2026-06-04*

The app is really adorable and simple, I like that flowers and bees populate along the way to keep interested while getting to 50,000 steps. But the app costs $6.99 a month (I’m sure to offset tree costs also) and not what I am currently looking for.
