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 ### 4/5 — Excellent et améliorable *2021-03-02, version 1.1.7* 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 :) ### 3/5 — Améliorations possibles *2021-01-02, version 1.1.7* 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! Maéva ### 4/5 — Fantastic! Keep it up! *2020-09-01, version 1.1.7* 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! ### 4/5 — Useful! *2020-07-16, version 1.1.6* 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! ### 4/5 — Keeps my plants healthy, but could use a lot of updates *2020-06-12, version 1.1.5* 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. ### 2/5 — Keeps Crashing!!! *2020-05-25, version 1.1.4* useful app when it works but now it keeps crashing anytime i try adding or removing a plant!💖 ### 4/5 — Ok *2020-03-16, version 1.1.4* Good and simple. Really helpful, because I forgot to water my plants all the time. But I don't see pictures, pls fix that :) ### 4/5 — Bug de l’application *2020-03-05, version 1.1.4* 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 ? ### 3/5 — Poorly Created Reminder System *2020-02-29, version 1.1.4* 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! ### 3/5 — Buggy and simple *2020-02-17, version 1.1.4* 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! ### 3/5 — Nice Concept *2020-02-13, version 1.1.4* 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. ### 4/5 — Dont pay for the pro! *2019-11-22, version 1.1.4* I really liked it: Send me notifications when I need to water my plants. Everything was fine UNTIL I paid for the pro, which I thought I was paying for the fertilizer notifications. Nah. You are able to set how often the plant need fertilizer but you don’t actually get the notifications. I liked the app at first bc im too busy to look” hum when is the last time i water/fertilize”.. ### 4/5 — Il ne manque que ça... *2019-11-18, version 1.1.4* Super pour enregistrer sa collection de plantes et aider au rappel des tâches comme arrosage et angrais(version pro) mais il n'est pas possible de ranger (pas même par ordre alphabétique) où déplacer les plantes ce qui manque vite quand on en a plus de dix. Pouvoir enregistrer l'espèce ailleurs que dans les notes serait un énorme plus! Merci merci d'avance ### 4/5 — Pro Member and Still No Respond from Developer *2019-06-08, version 1.1.4* So there is a glitch with one of the plants that I no longer own. You not able to delete that plant. I have create another test plant and I was able to remove that one. I have send 2 emails and still no response. So I’m thinking this app is not 100% supported. Which I knew before paying for the pro version. ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect *2019-05-22, version 1.1.4* This app was just what I needed! It was simple and did it’s job. But sadly I’m on the look out for a new plant app because the glitch on the app is annoying. ### 4/5 — So close to perfect *2019-05-15, version 1.1.4* I’m really enjoying the simplicity and visual aspects of this app. Unlike many plant inventory and garden reminder apps, it sticks to the basics, which I like. My one major request is for alternate sorting options, either by alpha, manual or date added sort order. This would be a huge timesaver. Perhaps in a future version you could consider adding categories for filtered sorting and viewing? I currently use this to track my succulents, but could see potential utility for vegetable gardens, outdoor plants, trees, etc. Thanks for producing the app—great job so far!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not good *2020-05-24, version 1.1.4* App crashes every time I try to add or edit a plant entry and changes do not save. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-04-18, version 1.1.4* Great concept but unfortunately the app crashes whenever you try to do anything. ### 1/5 — But *2020-03-01, version 1.1.4* Incapable de l’utiliser correctement Dès que je veux enregistrer l’appli se ferme ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2020-03-01, version 1.1.4* 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. ### 1/5 — Can’t get it to add my plants *2019-12-22, version 1.1.4* Deleting this app. Won’t add my plants after I add info and picture ### 1/5 — Y’a-t-il un pilote dans l’avion???? *2019-10-30, version 1.1.4* Tout plante, c’est le cas de le dire... ### 1/5 — Unusable after iOS 13 update *2019-10-22, version 1.1.4* There has been no update to the app since iOS 13, and it now crashes every single time I try to water or add a new plant. I’ve emailed the dev twice with no response. I really want to love this app! I even purchased the pro version. Without support, however, it’s basically unusable. Really disappointed. ### 1/5 — Error *2019-10-16, version 1.1.4* I dont see pictures in aplication :( ### 1/5 — Développement arrêté? *2018-10-30, version 1.1.3* Je voulais acheter la version pro pour utiliser l’option d’engrais. Bien que l’application me dit que la transaction a eu lieu, l’application ne se met pas en mode pro. J’ai eu beau me réessayer plusieurs fois à l’acheter, et de restaurer mon achat via l’app, rien ne marche. J’ai écrit au soutien technique, aucune nouvelle. C’est vraiment frustrant! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-04-19, version 1.1.0* I got the pro version, and am so disappointed. It only sorts plants by when they are scheduled to be watered- I use automatic drip, so this is totally useless. You cannot list your plants alphabetically. Tech support is completely unresponsive. Waste of money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simply the best *2020-07-27, version 1.1.6* 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! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2020-06-08, version 1.1.5* 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. ### 5/5 — Bonne application *2019-09-29, version 1.1.4* Bonne application, grâce au photo on peu voir l’évolution des plantes, et bien sur grâce au rappel c’est bien plus simple ! 😁 ### 5/5 — Parfait *2018-05-03, version 1.1.3* Très bonne appli , relativement simple d'utilisation. Pour amateur comme confirmé. Possibilité d'ajouter des notes/memo selon les spécificités des plantes. Un + serait la suggestion de nom de plantes lorsqu'on souhaite faire un ajout, les noms des plantes étant parfois un peu compliqués. ### 5/5 — Super appli *2017-09-03, version 1.1.3* Une application vraiment génial et facile à utiliser Donne un bon coup de main lors de grosses collections de plantes ### 5/5 — Super! *2017-06-07, version 1.1.2* Love this App!! Excellent for keeping a journal of all my plants. Love the pics option! ### 5/5 — Great plant journal *2017-05-31, version 1.1.2* Great app, I like the photo feature, allow me to go back and see how much my plants have grown. If the watering reminder can be set up to the end of the day will be ideal, it always pop up in the middle of the day. ### 5/5 — Very helpful! *2016-11-16, version 1.0.5* Lovely app for reminding me to water my plants. Very simple, no invasive ads, and straight to the point. Very well done app 👌🏾 ### 4/5 — Needs more features *2022-04-18, version 1.1.7* 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. ### 4/5 — This app is a lifesaver *2021-03-13, version 1.1.7* 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
