## What is Plantsome?

With the Plantsome app you never have to worry about your plants again. Search for your plant in our database (we're here to help if you don't know the name of your plant), fill in some details like the height and how many hours of sunlight the plant receives. Combined with the local weather forecast the app calculates when your plant would like some water again, and how much. You'll receive a notification on this day, at the time of your choosing. 

Caring for your green friends has never been easier!

- Check previous notifications in the calendar and keep check if you've actually watered your plants

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-08-25, version 4.0.0*

Bought plants from Plantsome, who suggested the app and it isn’t working. 
Nothing is saving.  Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Worst

*2025-05-29, version 4.0.0*

This app used to be great. I have a lot of plants so this app keeping track of water and fertilizer was awesome. Then it stopped working properly. Notifications stopped, some plants didn’t even show up as needing water, and so I lost a few plants. They told me they were working on the app…a year ago. Don’t waste your time.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2025-03-21*

Plantsome makes it so easy to care for my plants. I kill plants a thousand times slower now!!

### 5/5 — Better

*2025-03-19, version 4.0.0*

The app is getting much better than it was before. It looks like the developers have listened to feedback and are starting to implement changes. Good to see. Still seeing some things that need finetuning like a few buttons that seem to not always work but good progress

### 1/5 — App No Longer Works

*2023-06-07, version 3.7.1*

This app worked well, but has slowly fallen apart. Some plants no longer show up in the watering schedule and for others I’m being told to give them litres of water every couple of days.

### 1/5 — All plants randomly deleted

*2023-03-02, version 3.7.1*

Loved this app until one day I opened it to find that all my plants had disappeared. Had used it for a couple of years and had loads of notes and photos stored in it, so it was really frustrating to find all of that just gone.

### 5/5 — WOW

*2023-02-13, version 3.7.1*

So I ordered plants the middle of January, right after they had moved to a new greenhouse so things were slowed down a little. When they finally sent they got caught in an Arctic vortex so when they arrive they were unfortunately dead. I emailed them and heard back from Kelsi right away, she gave me several different options. I could’ve gotten a full refund but I wanted the plants so they sent them again. Said they would wait for the freeze to pass and take extra care (they ship from BC and I’m in NB). Well I got them today and I must say, I am beyond impressed. They are in perfect condition! I have nothing bad to say, my friends are asking about it, can’t wait to place my next order!

### 2/5 — Deleted 2 years worth of data

*2022-11-21, version 3.7.1*

I’m so choked. This is a great app for tracking plant care and I’ve gotten a ton of use out of it over the past 2 years. The watering updates are awesome. However the latest update seems to have deleted everything. 2 years of tracking down the drain. Need to decide if I want to start over…

### 1/5 — Was good…

*2022-11-07, version 3.7.1*

This app was great up until a week ago when it deleted all my plants. I followed up with support and STILL have not heard back. Very disappointed. Uninstalled.

### 1/5 — Lost all my plant info

*2022-11-05*

So I go into the app one day and nothing is in there. Nothing all my plant info was gone!!! I don’t know what happened!!
