Great for organizing plants!

This is pretty close to exactly what I was looking for. I tried keeping up with my plants in a more traditional journal, but it it didn’t expand well with my growing plant collection. Plantminder lets me track the plant’s needs, get reminders, see photos of the plants as they change over time, and journal my notes in an organized way.

I appreciate that the app doesn’t track my personal information or ask for yet another subscription.

One thing the app is missing that would help is a field for tags so plants can be grouped in more ways. I’d like to be able to tag my herbs and succulents into separate groups, for example.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re really happy Plantminder has given your growing collection a more organized home. 🌱 Keeping Plantminder respectful of our plant lovers is really important to us, and your privacy is a big part of that. 💚 And good news, tags are already on our list of things we’d love to add! We can definitely see how useful it would be to group plants by things like herbs, succulents, or whatever categories work for your collection. 🪴 Thanks again for the suggestion and the 5 stars! If you ever have more ideas, please feel free to email us. Feedback like this genuinely helps shape what we build next. 💚 Kris 🪴💚

Plantminder is a plant saver also for your wallet!

Update: I’m loving all the new updates! This is now the best plant app I’ve ever used!
Original: I was using another free app that I loved but after 5 years is no longer being supported and I started to lose my information. Searching for a new app, I found Plantminder. This app is wonderful and just as good in every way except for one. I miss not being able to see at a glance which plants will need to be watered the next day, in a few days, in a week. You could also easily delay a plants watering by a couple days when you realize it isn’t quite time yet. This was especially helpful when going on an upcoming trip. Otherwise I’m loving this app and happy to find a great replacement. It’s ridiculous to see so many similar apps charge $6 a month, $60 a year when I just want an app to help me remember to water my plants. I think it’s fair to buy an app but a subscription just seems like a money grab.

Thank you so much for coming back and updating your review! 💚 Hearing that Plantminder is now the best plant app you’ve ever used seriously made our day! 🌱 We really appreciated the feedback in your original review because it helped us understand what would actually make Plantminder more useful. I really needed the Snooze feature too! If a plant wasn’t ready for water when I checked it, I’d tell myself I’d come back to it in a few days… and then completely forget 😂 Hence why we also needed the Graveyard 🪦🌱 Thank you for sticking with us and watching Plantminder grow. We have plenty more we want to add, so if you ever have an idea or something you’d love to see in the app, please send us an email! We genuinely love hearing suggestions from our plant lovers. 💚 Kris 🪴💚

Data backup Function and Graveyard Updates are appreciated!

I have appreciated journaling my plants' process and care in this app. I started using it when another was not updated for newer iOS. But I did have concerns about lack of data export and/or iCloud update and eventual phone replacement. I noticed today that both iCloud backup and export functions have been added, as well as a Graveyard. I might add some of my (few) casualties that have been deleted back into the app. Too bad we can't move from deleted to graveyard, but it will be nice to have that feature going forward. Great work, dev team! Now please don't abandon the app without notice someday in the future. Let us export data first. I don't see that happening soon since there are ongoing (and appreciated) feature updates occurring, but ye know...

Thank you so much for sticking with Plantminder and for taking the time to review! 💚 We’re especially happy to hear that the new iCloud backup and export options addressed some of your concerns. Making sure your plant history can come with you to a new device was really important to us too. And yes, definitely bring those past casualties back for their rightful place in the Graveyard 😂🪦🌱 Gone, but not forgotten! We’re still very actively working on Plantminder and have plenty more we want to add, so we’re not planning on disappearing! We really appreciate the feedback, and please keep sending ideas our way as we continue growing the app. Kris 🪴💚

Incredible!

This is too perfect! It stores exactly what I want to store for a plant, uploading photos to see how it’s changed through time, great for reminding me when to water, mist, fertilised etc, the new update is also great - you can swipe through images of a plant to quickly see, send plants that didn’t survive to a graveyard (love that touch!) and you can now add a journal entry to multiple plants at once - game changer for watering room by room!
You can also sync to cloud to transfer to multiple devices, looks great on my iPad, thanks for an awesome app!! 🌱🪴🌱

Thank you for taking the time to leave such an amazing review and for noticing all the things we’ve been adding! Hearing that the multi-plant journal entries are a “game changer” makes our day, and we’re glad you appreciate the Graveyard too 😂🪦 We may not be able to save every plant, but at least their photos and memories can live on forever! Please feel free to email us with ideas or suggestions. We love hearing from our fellow plant lovers and have plenty more we want to grow into Plantminder! 🪴💚

The best plant app

This app doesn’t get enough recognition. I recommend it to people all the time. It is so much more than an app that notifies you when you need to water your plants. You can customize the watering and misting schedule or turn it off. You’re able to add pictures and notes to the plant’s journal which also shows the watering, repotting, and fertilizing dates that you log. They recently added a great feature that lets you put a plant in the “graveyard.” When you lose a plant but don’t want to delete all the pictures and journal entries, you can use this so that it’s separate from your living plants in the app. I honestly have no complaints. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It genuinely means a lot to us that you recommend Plantminder to others. The Graveyard was actually a feature I was especially excited for! I wanted a place where we could still look back on all our plants that didn’t quite make it (RIP little ones 🪦🌱). We’re so happy to hear you’re enjoying it too! And please never hesitate to email us if you have any ideas or suggestions. We absolutely love hearing from our users and learning how you use Plantminder. We want to keep making it the best app we can for fellow plant lovers. 💚
