No forgot password function

I had the app on my old phone months ago. Tried to put it on my new phone this morning. Can’t remember my password and there’s no “forgot password” function. Deleting app because I can’t use it.

Great App - Suggestion

Great app mate, just a small suggestion:

When using the search function to look for produce, it displays results as a list with distances to the various growers (each can be selected). This would save the user scanning all over the map looking at what each user has available.

Great concept

Great idea however it seems to not show any produce anymore and has been crashing every time I try to use it :/ hope it can get fixed :)

Innovative Idea

Loving the app! It has proved very helpful especially during the current situation of the world.

Brilliant idea, early stage

A great idea to share produce locally and connect the community. Some early bugs that need to be worked on - like no way to delete an item I’ve said I’m growing?

GREAT PROMISE

Very excited by this app. I would always be looking for lemons and other citrus and be happy to pay.

A suggestion..

I think this app is fantastic and can really help to bring back some old community values.

One suggestion is possible to extend it to ‘buy, swap, sell and giveaway’.

I have plenty of things growing that I’m happy to part with, no exchange needed.

Just an idea :)

Great concept

I absolutely love Sprout- it’s the perfect way to connect with people in your local area to swap fresh produce. I’m excited to see where it goes over the next few years!

Futuristic and Innovative

I’ve been using this for a few days now and it has honestly changed my life. My wife and kids love to grow vegetables in our backyard and now have been provided with an opportunity to buy or sell local produce.

I hope I get to meet creator one day, he seems like a great guy.

Would recommend!!!

Good potential

So far I love the concept of this app and what it’s used for: if it was functioning to its fullest potential I’d probably use it constantly.
Seeing all the people around you who use sprout is heartening as well, but quickly disappointing when you tap a user and almost every profile is blank. My solutions to this would maybe be that the sprout icon is grey until a user fills out their profile, which would save a lot of effort searching. Sure you can use the search function to find an item you want, but right now many of us are lucky enough to have a sprout neighbour in reasonable distance so this doesn’t work as well as just checking your nearby neighbours constantly and hoping they’re active. Making icons clearly reflect the user profile completion status would remedy this at a glance.
I’d also like to be able to add more info to the profile as well. So far I look forward to why sprout has to offer in the future.

Community and sustainability!

Combining technology and community to help individuals have access to local fresh produce.
In this time of social distancing it’s nice to remain connected to our neighbours while remaining safe.

Happy Wife

It’s a cold rainy day during isolation and Im stuck in quarantine with my family. We haven’t had any physical human contact in weeks however you’re in desperate need for a zucchini.

You know the local supermarkets are packed with people panic buying... what’s especially worrying is the amount of people potentially carrying the rona. So, to minimise human contact I downloaded Sprout. Instantly I was connected with sellers around my local area.

Luckily for me, my wife had been growing some lemons. I asked Person X if they wanted to do a trade and with a bit of negotiating we managed to swap some lemons for a zucchini.

Thanks to this app a local man in the area was able to satisfy my wife with an enormous adult sized zucchini
