I’ve used this app to help plan my garden for the last few years. I upgraded to the paid version and it was well worth it. The developer is frequently updating and adding features.
I love this app
Fairly easy to use and has great information for beginner gardeners and farmers
I love this app. I have been using it for a couple years now. Started as a free trial but loved it enough to keep it. Improves every year. So excited for the new beta things. I would love the intercropping feature! So glad that towers were added and seed starting!
I really like the app but i think we should be able to do more than one garden plan for free. This would encourage small urban gardeners like myself. I understand it being more expensive if you owned a bigger plot and then it would be worthwhile paying the subscription
Great reference though some popular garden varieties are not listed. Mapping is cool with the compatible planting function. There are other systems much fancier but I don't need to design my back yard, just planning a bunch of containers and a raised bed. Works for me and cheaper than most!
Awesome and easy to use, just wish it had an actual map of your property to place your gardens
There is a wealth of information in this app. It has been a huge help for the novice gardener like myself. I like how it follows the square foot gardening technique. The only thing I would add would be to add odd shaped gardens. It works as is but I have to setup multiple beds. Highly recommended
i love this app for variety and user-friendliness, but it isn’t the best for companion planning. it won’t pick up all that’s not compatible when planning which can be a pain. i’ve had to use other apps to double-check what i’m planting, otherwise it’ll be missed.
I have several raised beds for which I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to use spreadsheets to visualize the contents of each garden, rotate veggies and companion plant - this app helps with all that and more -it’s been a real time-saver.
I LOVE gardening and was excited to try this app as a trial. I accidentally purchased premium and thought that’s okay, I’d love to use it as long as I bought it and it’s a year subscription. However I cannot log in no matter what I do (it’s in my Apple account) and despite emailing customer service twice, I have yet to hear back. I’ve never left a negative review anywhere but I am sad I spent money and cannot utilize the app. I filed a claim with Apple for a refund but it was denied twice. I believe I spent $24.99

LOVE IT! Been a User since early days. Simple to start and accommodates as much detail as you want as You grow! Great way to plan & track & learn. And the App continues to “grow” too.
Pretty app but not pretty enough to justify the expensive price to unlock more than one garden.
Such a helpful and useful app.
Highly recommend for any gardeners especially beginners, great way to maximize garden and companion plant
This app is fairly simple in design but has been essential in planning my garden. It’s helped me with pairing plants and layout. It also lets you know how many of each plant to plant in a square foot. Definitely worth the price
A little clunky to use at first but able to get a hang of.
Love it all. One suggestion so far. Make a map overlay of watering quantity so certain plants can be grouped based on water needs.
The idea is great BUT unless you have hours to work on setting it up, it isn’t worth the price. They need to spend a lot of time on making the actual setup process, linking IOS to Mac easier. I could not figure it out and kept on getting error messages on trying to just CREATE a password to link. There is no easy way to put plants in your garden and the instructions are poor. I tried to setup ten beds and was unable to remove the one mistake I put in and have no idea how I even got it in there. Again, great idea, terrible execution.

My only complaint would be that there are quite a lot of plants missing, flowers like anemone, chrysanthemum. Seems odd you can’t even add it and import your own personal growing info..
