The Tortoise Table Plant DB User Reviews

Where has the scroll gone?

Sadly it seems the option to scroll through plants has been removed. This was an amazing learning tool and very sadly missed. UPDATE 24/03/26
Thank you for listening to the reviews, very happy to have the option to scroll through all listed plants reinstated, and very impressed to receive that information direct from the developer. Review updated to the 5* it deserves. Well done!

It isn’t still compatible with iPhone 5s...

Make compatibility with iOS 12 and also(hopefully) watchOS. Thanks!

Brilliant

Perfect for tortoise owners!

Not a fan of the update

Love the app. But don't like that you can't scroll through all the database. Means you need to remember the name

No list on homepage

I’m really disappointed that there is no list of plants on the homepage any more, so you can scroll through to identify a plant without knowing the name of it.
There is only the option of typing a name which is only helpful if you know the plants name!!!
It would be extremely helpful if there was the option of taking a photo of a plant that the app could then identify as this would save time…
App developers - please take these reviews seriously and see things from a tortoise owners perspective…

Older version was better

As a new tortoise owner, it was very much better to look at the pictures of plants as I do not know the names of them especially wildflowers and weed. if there was an option to just choose green flagged plants, it might help.

Search 👀

I thought it would let me upload a pic of the weed so that I could find out the name of it & check it was safe for my tortoise. If I knew the name of the weed I could look it up on Google & wouldn’t need the app.

Good but could be better

Overall, I have found the app pretty easy to use if you know what you’re looking for. A feature that I feel would be very beneficial is to allow filtering of the entire database without searching anything. For instance, I click or tap the word safe and it shows all items tagged as safe. Same for moderate, avoid, and each of the other categories you can filter your searches with. It would just be nice to see what else is out there that I might not know about. Thank you for making this database.

Update ruined it

Since the update you can no longer scroll you have to enter the name which is pants

not what i thought

i would prefer an app where you take the photo and then it marks if it's safe, i find trying to get the name of the weed is the hard part.

Good but don’t sure on update

It would normally be 5 stars but the update seems to have removed the option to scroll through plants without searching a name first. This helped a lot for finding ideas of new things to try but now I can only search plants I already know and can’t look through a glossary.

App has changed

I much preferred the old layout where you could scroll down the lists and see which plants were edible and which not at a glance per section. Now you can only see when you specifically search for a plant’s name.

Add a search feature

Unless I just can’t figure it out, it would be great to have a feature that would let me search for a particular plant or species to find it in the data base.

Species (breed) is not needed to use this app.

The tortoise table is good to use for ALL tortoises, no matter what species you have. If you open an entry of any colour but not RED it will be ok to feed as part of a mixed diet, that includes ALL tortoises. If you open the Lawn Grass entry it will state that it is ok for the grazing species (including Sulcata) and it will not harm other species.

fun and educational

i have a tortoise and this app has made foraging for weeds fun.

Very handy multi functional app

Very substantial database! Yes maybe it’s hard for some to navigate due to having to have some basic knowledge of the item you a searching for but the search feature makes basic use (which is what 80% of people need) very accessible. Also a great resource for determining what to use in a bio active enclosure.

Please add a bread feature

This app would be amazing if we were able to filter by what type of tortoise each person owns as a lot eat different items and are not allowed to have others.

Suggestion

Love this app. I use the picture this app to check plants and then this to see if my tortoise can eat it. What would be really useful if you can order the list by plants they can eat, so when planning what plants to grow in my garden it is easy to choose rather than scrolling through a big list. Would happily pay for more features.
