Helped me become the best plant daddy

If it wasn’t for Planta, all my plants would die

AI Junk

I thought I signed up for the free trail but it charged me $43 off the bat. First plant I scanned it labeled wrong. I got it for the disease function but the AI chat bot throws out a whole slew of possible illnesses and won’t tell you anything more than you could figure out yourself on Google or Reddit. Junk! I want my money back!

Pointless App.

Being perfectly honest, you can find all the information you need to care for your plants online. This app is completely unnecessary. Not a fan of the interface. Careful of the rolling subscription.

It works sometimes

I’ve been using this app for about to years because I never had plants before. I have successfully grown some plants but I also killed many others because I followed the app watering days and I overwatered them. When I noticed so many plants dying, I google (using AI) the recomendaron and they were too off from the app. For example this app got me watering my rosemary daily when it should be only once a week… some with my roses! My geraniums died, my flamingo lilies died, my petunias died and even some of my succulents died. The most successful plants are the indoor ones, like my pothos and elephant ears.

Décevant

Toute l’application fonctionne à l’IA, ce qui n’est pas tellement un problème si elle fonctionne bien.
Or dans ce cas, l’IA me demande par exemple régulièrement d’arroser mes plantes pourtant diagnostiquées « noyées ». Elle ne propose aucune réelle solution, notamment aucune mention du rempotage pourtant essentiel dans ce cas. D’ailleurs, on ne peut pas préciser le dernier rempotage d’une plante ce qui change pourtant beaucoup de facteurs d’entretien.
L’IA ne retient pas les informations des discussions d’un message à l’autre, ce qui rend compliqué le suivi d’une plante. C’est pourtant le but de l’application…
Je suis très déçue, j’attendais beaucoup de cette application et je suis frustrée de me trouver facturée un an alors que l’application ne remplis pas son utilité.

Response from developer

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate the detailed feedback. With Premium, you can record when a plant was repotted by adding a repotting task and changing the completion date to the date you repotted it. If you’re receiving watering reminders that conflict with a diagnosis, please contact us at contact@getplanta.com so we can look into it. Best/ Emma, Planta

helpful but will have you over water all your plants

This app more helpful than some other plant apps.
Positives: Easily identified plants, allows edits to correct minute id errors.
Negatives- Don’t blindly follow the watering schedule set by the app, continue to check your plants first or you will over water them, it wants me to water one day and the next day fertilize with liquid fertilizers which is just watering them again. This will clearly overwater them and cause root rot. Also, it gave me a task to remove the suckers from my tomato plant but it was a task for my African Violet and I don’t have tomato plants. There is no way in app to share these unhelpful and inaccurate tasks with the developers to make the ai advice better.

Excellent app!

It’s really easy to use tracking water my plants and good to understand how to take care it. Also there have community with people who help each around! 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love this app

I’ve used the Planta app for years. It has helped me keep my plants healthier and on track! I have quite a collection indoors and out now. O couldn’t keep them all alive without Planta. I love the identification, analysis of light, pot and drainage, and all the suggestions. Great investment to keep my plants at their best possible and fun to use, like a little game with checklists.

Biggest scam

Don’t download it unless you are 100% sure that you want it. I canceled it at the end of the day of downloading it. And it charged me for a year subscription a week later. I was aware it would do that when I installed it. They make it really hard to contact them.

Spammy pop-ups have made this app unusable

Not sure what happened to the previous review I wrote about this. I’ve been a Premium subscriber for years now. Recently, there are now pop-ups advertising that I can refer a friend to get free Premium. The pop-up happens every time I water a plant. I have to close the pop-up to be able to mark the plant watered. I have dozens of plants. You can see how annoying this must be. If this continues, I will no longer be a Premium subscriber and will find some other solution. Sadly, it seems in line with Planta now focusing more on selling things and advertising what they sell, which didn’t exist when I first got the app. I already pay $36/year, but Planta seems mostly geared toward making more money lately.

Life savor

My plants would all be dead without this app.

I Love this APP!

This has helped me to be a plant guru! My plants look better than ever!

Free trial is fake

The 7 day free trial is a lie! I tried to start the trial and it made me pay 15 dollars and I didn’t even get the extra 7 days!!!! What a scam

Warnings won’t go away

I’ve had the app for a week now and it’s great for tracking all my plants. I also love scrolling through the community tab and seeing other people’s plants as well as questions they have. I’m a totally newbie when it comes to indoor plants, so I haven’t been placing them in the best places. I appreciate that the app warns me when my plant is in a spot not best suited for it, but the problem is the warning won’t go away after I fix the issue. I change the site, both irl and on the app, but the warning still being there is both confusing and annoying. I looked up on google how to fix it, but nothing that was suggested has worked. There’s a true possibility there’s a function already in the app that I’m simply missing, but I would really appreciate it if the warning would go away after I resolve the issue.

Very helpful

This app is very helpful, unlike some other plant apps. Glad I found this one. Easily identified plants, allows edits to correct minute id errors. Only negative, Don’t blindly follow the watering schedule set by the app, continue to check your plants first or you will over water then.

Definitely a top purchase!!

Seriously this app helps so much! I get really overwhelmed keeping my plants alive and this takes away all of the worrying!

Schedule

Not keeping an accurate schedule for some plants. Wants me to water way too often then telling me a plant was sick because it’s still wet.

Fine app

Of the many plant apps, Planta is the most comprehensive one available.

Mimi flowers

I love this app it lets me know when it’s time to water my plants

Needs improvement

The app is not working properly last few months. It's hasn't been remembering that I checked off completing a task, then shortly after or the next day after day asks for me to complete task!
