### 1/5 — Hopeful, but disappointed

*2023-07-14*

I love Skippy’s garden blog, so I was really excited to find this app. However it won’t open. It keeps saying “can’t connect to server,” so I guess I just wasted my money.

### 1/5 — Connection error

*2023-02-17, version 1.0.2*

All I get is a tap to retry button. Please help

### 5/5 — Great app for figuring out what to do when in your garden

*2021-06-01, version 1.0.2*

I downloaded the new app.  It worked great.  The date picker worked well.  Once I entered the veggies I wanted to grow and the last and first frost dates where I live I was able to get knowledgeable advice on what to do when to grow my plants.  I could also tap a button and go to a page with more information about the particular vegetable I was interested in.  Give it a try.

### 1/5 — The worse App

*2021-05-20, version 1.0.2*

I never write reviews- but had to for this one. It is the WORSE!  Do not waste your money.  I downloaded the app- and all I get is that it can’t connect to the internet.   It is a rip off.

### 1/5 — I just wasted $5

*2021-03-25, version 1.0.1*

I just downloaded this app.  I have been gardening for 30 years and I work in a garden center.  The planting dates are all wrong.  I have numerous sources and none of them line up to the app.  Wish I could get my money back.

### 1/5 — Cant add frost dates

*2021-02-15, version 1.0*

If you can’t add your frost dates this doesn’t do much for you. If they fix the bug and you can actually plan to plant when you are supposed to it might be worth it. Really expensive for an app I can’t use. 
Don’t buy if you don’t plan on using it on your phone or tablet.

**Developer response:** It's fixed!!! 
Plus I add new new planting information and tips often. Thank you for trying the app!

### 2/5 — Loved the old app

*2021-01-18, version 1.0*

I bought the new app but the option to change the frost dates isn’t working.  Audibly I can hear a scroll to find the date but the calendar numbers are like ghost- invisible- you can’t see them? 

I’ll go back and use the old app but wish I could use the one I just spent money on

**Developer response:** It's fixed now!!!  I'm so glad you liked the old version and thanks for letting me know about the problem. :-)

### 5/5 — Started my fall garden

*2020-09-08, version 1.0*

Love this app! I was able to plant at just the right time, the plants I wanted to sow so fingers crossed I will be enjoying my veggies at just the right time!
