What's New in PlantPal

2026.17

July 8, 2026

Greetings, plant parents. Here are some updates to the app in the new version: New — Spotlight support: Search and find your plants with Spotlight. You can jump to the plant in PlantPal with one tap. Improved — Thanks to an app-wide migration, almost all views now refresh more reliably, and changes are localized. This made the app run more efficiently and more smoothly (especially on older devices), and it fixed some animation glitches. Improved — It’s now faster to perform a search in the plant library. Improved — The plant library now features in-season plants for inspiration. Improved — In the Tasks page, you can now use the “plus” button to add photos to the plant directly. Fixed — * The Tasks view might jitter when you un-check a task. Fixed. * The Tasks view might not stay in sync on all iCloud devices when you hide finished tasks. Fixed. * Some users might not be able to add photos properly until they reset storage options. Fixed. Thank you and hope you’ll enjoy the update. If you have any suggestions or feedback, please let us know!

No Plant Identification

As far as I can tell the app cannot identify your plants. You have to know what plant you have for anything to be helpful.

Response from developer

Hi mdtolic, thank you for the review and suggestion. Plant identification is a big topic that we, as a small indie team, intentionally avoided. We found that most users of PlantPal know what they have, or can use other free apps to identify their plants. You can even get very accurate results from the Photos app, just by swiping up ;) We hope you’ll enjoy PlantPal as a DIY care companion. We will keep your suggestion in mind, and if resources permit in the future, venture into this field.

Beautiful and easy to use!

Really clean and thoughtfully designed app. The UI is simple but polished, and it’s very easy to start tracking plants without any friction.

I especially like how visual it feels — it makes managing plants more enjoyable instead of feeling like a chore.

Excited to keep using it and see how it evolves!

希望app图标再优化一下,有点不太美观

Trouble with app

I have had this app for two years and now it is not working despite trying to update it. When I open it there’s a black screen. I do not want to lose all my data and photos of the plants and I’m having trouble finding help to resolve this issue.

Response from developer

Hi JoJo, thank you again for letting us know. We have just worked with Apple engineers and shipped a fix for the problem. We’d love you to give it a shot. Cheers!

Best plant care app!

I used to use Planta but got sick of being given ads for their products or their premium features (worse yet, being told “your plant looks unhealthy and needs Dr. Planta!”) I tried many apps and this is by far my favorite! I love the clean, simple interface and it has all the features I was looking for and none of the distractions. My favorite part is the widget I can put on the Home Screen so I never forget about my tasks for the day. I’ve also provided feedback to the developer about future features I’d like to see included and they were very courteous. I paid a one time fee for lifetime premium which I was happy to do. I’m a convert!
