It has potential

It nice, and very simple, but I found difficulty in using it and some inconvenience just as i started with my first plant. It was incorrect in assuming I had watered it the same day I created the plant profile and I had no way if editing the event. Lacks as well any feature to add notes to update photos of plant, so I can't keep watch of signs in leaves I may be suspicious of. Keep it up though

Needs more features

Not sure why my review disappeared but..

I like the app but it needs more features like:

-I accidentally clicked the water button and theres no way to undo it
- i watered 3 days ago but forgot to push the button. If i click it now it’ll say it got watered today. Wish it asked me to choose TODAY or choose previous date.
-add a timeline update for each plant like progress photos. And a notes with dates (similar to posts or tweets) it would show date + the caption. For ex: i could add a note today for my mint that it’s droopy and add a photo.

This app is a lifesaver

This app has saved so many plants. It’s a great way to keep track of how often a plant has been watered, so you can see exactly where you may have gone wrong. I recommend it to every plant parent I know. Has been a bit glitchy in the past, but they are usually solved fairly quick.

Excellent et améliorable

L'application est la meilleure dans cette catégorie, après en avoir essayé plusieurs : elle permet en tout simplicité de noter l'évolution de ses plantes.

Elle reste améliorable cependant :
- possibilité de dater les commentaires / d'ajouter des notes au fil du temps et quelles soit historisées (pour noter que à telle date on a fait telle action sur la plante)
- possibilité d'aller à la ligne dans les notes
- possibilité de créer des catégories dans lesquelles ranger les plantes
- faire en sorte que les photos prises puissent être enregistrées dans la galerie du téléphone

Merci pour votre travail :)

Améliorations possibles

Bonjour,
Je viens de prendre la version payante en espérant avoir plus d’options mais finalement à part l’engrais pas grand chose ne change.
Ce serait top si les commentaires pouvaient être enregistrés date par date comme les photos pour que l’on puisse tenir une sorte de journal de bord de la vie de chaque plante.
Si les photos pouvaient ne pas forcément être carrées ce serait cool aussi et si on pouvait les enregistrer dans la pellicule ! Comme ça pas besoin de faire de doublons pour le moment toutes les photos prises dans l’app n’apparaissent que la c’est dommage.
Aussi si on arrose une plante par erreur même en supprimant l’événement le rappel ne se met pas à jour c’est un peu dommage.
Voilà voilà ce sont mes améliorations possibles ! Je tiens à dire que je tire mon chapeau aux développeurs coder tout ça c’est beaucoup de travail ! Merci d’avoir eu cette bonne idée et de nous aider à ne pas tuer nos plantes hahahaa
Je serais la première à faire la pub de cette app si tous ces petits problèmes sont réglés !
Merci et bonne année!

Fantastic! Keep it up!

Absolutely love the simplicity of this app! It’s a great customizable journal of all the plants you have, unlike the many others that go off a database with very few not so common houseplants on the list. I have all my individual species plus the duplicates with pictures to remind me which is which.

So far the app is AWESOME, would love to give 5 stars but it needs more in the premium version. I use a moisture meter and it would be great to have a specific feature that you can document the reading day to day to build a better watering schedule. Even just a little daily button that you can set just like the watering and fertilizing feature, or even a daily journaling/log space for keeping track of bug/disease treatment. Just having a space for notes means you can’t have a permanent log of what’s happened over time other than watering and fertilizing. I do like the space for information that exists already, I wouldn’t want to replace that, just add to it.

The other thing is you can’t change the order from what needs to be watered first. I love that it is organized this way but when I’m looking for a certain plant it’s hard, my list is absurdly long. It would be nice to be able to toggle between alphabetic and what needs watering. Other than that great app, looking forward to future updates!

Simply the best

The picture log feature is so cool! It’s awesome to see your plants’ growth over time. PRO version is cheap and totally worth it!

Useful!

I really like this app for helping me keep track of my plants. I especially appreciate the fact that I can take notes on my plants and can save multiple photos to track its health.

I have a couple of requests for the app developer that I think would make it even better, specifically the ability to set custom reminders. As other reviews have mentioned, it would be nice to be able to set specific reminders rather than just having it notify you exactly 24 hours since you last marked the plant as watered (or 48 hours or whatever). It would also be nice to be able to set reminders less than 24 hours apart. I live in a very dry climate so several of my plants need to be watered in the morning as well as evening. I also have plants that need to be misted daily but only need infrequent watering, so it would be nice to have an option to set a reminder to mist once per day then a reminder to fully water every few days.

Overall, however, very useful app!

Keeps my plants healthy, but could use a lot of updates

The reason I like this app is because I have A LOT of plants that are difficult to keep track of by memory, and this app is the most reliable one that I’ve found so far to accurately remind me of watering schedules and keep a lot of data.

I like the way it automatically organizes all of the plants in order of what should be watered next, however, sometimes that means I’m walking from room to room trying to keep it all straight or scrolling up and down trying to find the plants that are in the same room to make watering more efficient. It would be nice if there were filters or sorting options by room or by name.

I also find myself watering at different times of day whenever I find the time, and the notifications only come based on the exact time they were watered last. Sometimes if I water in the morning, I’ll miss a bunch of plants that I have to come back to later because the last time I watered them was nighttime and I haven’t gotten the notification yet. The option to set reminders for a specific time would be helpful.

And finally, I wish that clicking “water” or “save” wouldn’t shut off my music or podcasts to play the little chime that accompanies the clicks. Lowering the volume would be fine, but I’d like to listen to my phone and water my plants at the same time.

Love this app

I have tried several other plant apps and this is my favorite. If you are looking for a simple water and fertilizer reminder, this is it. I have 50+ houseplants and there is no way I would be able to keep up with each plant’s watering schedule without this app.

Keeps Crashing!!!

useful app when it works but now it keeps crashing anytime i try adding or removing a plant!💖

Not good

App crashes every time I try to add or edit a plant entry and changes do not save.

Doesn’t work

Great concept but unfortunately the app crashes whenever you try to do anything.

Ok

Good and simple. Really helpful, because I forgot to water my plants all the time. But I don't see pictures, pls fix that :)

Bug de l’application

Bonjour j’ai installé l’application sur mon iPhone elle pratique à un détail près qu’elle se met à très vite bugger les plantes se mettent à bouger très vite comme si je secouer l’écran et je peux plus rien faire je dois fermer et réouvrir l’application.
Avez vous déjà eu de problème ?

But

Incapable de l’utiliser correctement
Dès que je veux enregistrer l’appli se ferme

Glitchy

I was excited when I first downloaded this app but as soon as I uploaded all my plants the page glitched out and started perpetually scrolling up and down super fast. I restarted the app and it still does it, I can’t even use the app. This one’s not it.

Poorly Created Reminder System

Overall a very good app but I would change one thing about the watering reminders function. Currently, it only reminds me the day they need watering but sometimes I miss it and don’t water my plants until I actually remember to. It would be helpful to have an option to create repeat reminders. For example, if I don’t water my plant on one day it reminds me daily after that until I’ve actually watered them. I think that would be very helpful and would bump my review up to 5 stars. Thanks!

Buggy and simple

Very nice app concept! However, bugs occur when you scroll and while taking photos, leaving you in an endless loop of scrolling plant profiles and attempting to crop images is impossible, as it just resets to the original cropping outlines. Allowing users to add details about their plants, such as sunlight, soil, and propagation requirements would be a plus. Wonderful concept of an app, I cannot wait to see what future updates bring!

Nice Concept

I like the idea of this app. It’s a bit buggy though. I’ve added some of my plants and pictures, but the pictures keep disappearing. The only way I can view them is when I click on the share button for that image. Then the image will appear but it will disappear again once I exit that screen. I’ll hold off on adding my other plants to see if the issue is resolved. Still looking for the best Plant organization app.
