No matter how many times I open and close the app, the flowers still won’t show up even if i change the type and the number. ### 4/5 — Pretty good game, but… *2023-02-25* This game is amazing, but when I put a specific amount of flowers on the canvas, every feature disappears and I’m stuck on the screen with my flowers. It is an incredibly good game though. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! The latest app update should have taken care of the random bugs, so please give it another try and let us know if you still discover issues. Thanks again! ### 3/5 — Freezing *2023-02-19* Love the game itself but when playing, every 30 to 60 seconds the game freezes and I have to close and reopen it just for it to freeze again 30 seconds later. Maybe the device I’m using isn’t optimal for the game but I’m using a pretty new iPhone so I doubt it **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! The latest app update should have taken care of the random bugs, so please give it another try and let us know if you still discover issues. Thanks again! ### 5/5 — Lovely kaleidoscope flowers! *2022-12-05* Update: The app now works great! If you love flowers and kaleidoscopes, you will love this app! Really looking forward to more flowers being added. Thank you devs for correcting the issues, wishing you much success. App opens, but there’s only one flower and no way to get more. Emails and messages to the dev gets no response. It has lots of potential but definitely needs a LOT more work. Website is also very limited with only a link to this app, nothing more. **Developer response:** We're very sorry for missing your email and review, we've sent you a reply and hope you can give the app another chance. We had a lot of issues earlier this year, but all should be fixed now! ### 4/5 — How do you use *2022-04-10* How do you use this app. The “how to use “ manual isn’t of any help whatsoever. It need to me simplified and much easier to use. It seems to complicated to use. How do you make the Mandela. Needs improvement Update - eventually worked out how to use the app to make stunning designs Needs more variety of foliage, petals, flowers. Some of the flowers are so tiny….. is there a way to enlarge them? **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and sorry for a late reply, we have totally missed this one. We will try to improve How-To and in general try to make things easy and intuitive to use. Also more variety on the botanical pieces is underway. Flowers and their pieces are in proportional sizes, and some are thus larger and some smaller. Happy to hear though you've ended up with beautiful designs! ## Frequently asked questions about The Botanist ### What can I create with The Botanist?
