No Plant Identification
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!
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!

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!

Hi tjinsc, Thank you for writing in. We recently update the plant library to include 508 plants (up from 145) from around the world, and made the search much more functional. We’d love to have you give PlantPal another try. And as always, you can always add and manage your plants even if they don’t exist in the library. Hope this helps and thank you again for taking the time to write in.

Hi YoursUser, thank you for taking the time for a review. We actually just updated the app to allow custom tasks — you can have multiple tasks of the same type, customize their names, and even add notes. We think you’ll like it! Please let us know if you’d like to see more features in PlantPal. Feedback like this helps us build a better app. Cheers!
Love this one!
The app is simple, clean, and focused on tracking without any unnecessary extras. The layout is great too!
One thing I’d suggest is adding an option to view all locations on one page you can scroll through. Right now, when I assign plants to a location, the list jumps away, which makes it harder to see everything at once. I personally use locations to group plants with different light requirements, but I’d still like a “my plants” style view where everything is shown together, just grouped by location.
Overall, I definitely recommend this app if you’re looking for an easy, no-frills plant tracker!
Update (August 24, 2025): This is still my favorite—I use it every day and love it. 🌱❤️
Doesn’t work since upgrade in 2023
The developer was responsive at first (2023) but the issue has not been resolved. My email to him in Jan 2025 has not been answered.
Love this one!
I was able to add all my old photos for tracking. Which was easy as you can add multiple photos at one time.
This app is the best for tracking without a bunch of extra fluff. I love the layout too!
I would suggest making it where you can see all the locations on one page to scroll through. Or I wish they wouldn't leave the main list when I add them to a location.
(I was using my locations to group together plants without similar lighting requirements, but still would like to see all the plants on one page like the "my plants" section, but then grouped.)
I would recommend trying this app!

Awesome App
One thing I would add to make the app better is if it could sync between my iphone and ipad… as of right now it does not :(

Hi there, thank you for the kind words and I’m glad you enjoy PlantPal as much as we do! Regarding cloud sync — yes the app does sync via iCloud, and it’s on by default as long as you enable iCloud on both devices and have signed into the same iCloud account. Would you be able to shoot us an email at hi@plantpal.net so that we can help further? You can include a screenshot of the iCloud sync status that you can find in the App’s Preferences tab.
Awesome App
Good start. Needs a lot more plants
Also, “sites” don’t seem to be working correctly. I have tried to set them up but can’t find how to add plants there.

Hi Adesinacat79, thank you for the leaving the review and for the suggestion. We recently rolled out an AI-assisted plant library with 500+ plants (including popular veggies, fruits and flowers around the world). Hope this can be a step-up for your gardening journey! As always, please keep the suggestions coming — ideas from users like you help us improve PlantPal all the time.
Muy bien
Best plant care app!

Hi Beckela, thank you for the kind words and glad you love PlantPal! As a daytime data scientist, I personally know it’s impossible to predict when my plants need water—there are just so many factors to take in. That’s exactly why I built the app. I’ve taken notes on your suggestions. Thank you and happy planting!
