Can add it like 1 water drop = low to 4 water drops = high. Same for sun, 1 sun shade to 4 suns direct sun all day. Besides that for now awesome app. Ty ### 2/5 — Manque trop de légumes et informations *2025-05-02, version 1.36* L’application pourrait être intéressante mais elle fournit trop peu d’informations sur les légumes et la liste est bien trop courte trop de légume absent pour en faire quelque chose de bien et complet ### 2/5 — Not a big selection *2025-02-27, version 1.36* I like this app and it is helpful but there isn’t a very good selection of plants/veg to choose from. ### 4/5 — Like but…. *2025-02-14, version 1.36* I like this app, easy to use but I wish I could add Lavender or Marigold seeds to my plot. I usually plant companion plants for my veggies. ### 2/5 — Can be better *2024-11-07, version 1.35* Barely any flowers. I want to do interplanting and if I am trying to put celery and carrot for example in the same patch it kind of overlaps. It would be good if the app would understand interplanting and automatically fix this nicely. ### 2/5 — Not happy *2024-10-08, version 1.35* Assumes that you are in the Northern Hemisphere and does not take your location into account when suggesting planting and harvesting dates. ### 2/5 — Only useful in US hardiness zones 7-8. *2024-09-27, version 1.35* What a waste. What this app needs to be awesome is a world map where you select your location and it automatically picks your zone and planting time suggestions. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2024-09-14, version 1.35* Love the idea and several features , BUT! - I live in zone 6A and would like an option to change planting times for your zone - I am working on designing a greenhouse with several beds in it and want to be able to have more than one bed visible on my plant patch at a time. I would also like the size template for garden beds to have feet and inches instead of only feet, this is really limiting. These three things are making me look elsewhere for an app to plan my garden ### 4/5 — love it *2024-08-08, version 1.35* I love this planner! I would give 5 stars but I would love to have more veggies and also fruits and flowers which should be planted with veggies. Hope to see some update, even paid one. ### 5/5 — Just what I needed *2024-05-31, version 1.34* I love this app. I am using it to determine where stuff goes in my new raised beds and what companion plants to use. Complelety revolutionized my gardening and rekindled my enthusiasm . The only things I would ask for is the ability to rename the beds and to be able to make round or different shaped gardens. And hopefully they will add more flowers for companion planting and pollinators and butterflies. Great app ### 5/5 — Companion planting *2024-05-04, version 1.34* I use this when trying to keep my plants happy and around friends in the garden. I couldn’t keep track of them without this app! ### 5/5 — Figured it out - GREAT APP *2024-04-10, version 1.34* The only thing Id change is that you couldnt delete old beds but I figured out that if you slide the bed to the left theres a delete button. Maybe that was on the new update. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not buy this app *2026-06-10, version 1.36* This app is awful. It keeps charging me and yet will not let me use the features and keeps demanding I sign up. There is no reason to buy this and I have been trying to get the charges stopped through Apple as there is no contact for the developer ### 1/5 — Mito *2025-05-16, version 1.36* Tout payant rien de pratique nul ### 1/5 — Application très pauvre *2025-03-30, version 1.36* L’application manque de trop de choses… Manque de légumes Impossible de définir l’espacement entre les légumes 4 euros pour ça et impossible de savoir ce qu’on a sans payer. Je pensais qu’elle aurait évoluée en un an… ### 1/5 — Not free *2025-03-18, version 1.36* Says it’s free but it’s not ### 1/5 — De pago *2025-03-15, version 1.36* No deja hacer planing sin pagar ### 1/5 — Abusé *2024-11-22, version 1.36* 4 euros d’abonnement pour une appli sur les légumes … c’est vraiment abusé … ou comment installer et désinstaller une appli automatiquement. Bravo à vous ! ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-02-13, version 1.33* I purchased this app in the past then they switched to subscription based payment. Total scam. ### 1/5 — Software doesn't print the map. *2024-01-31, version 1.33* It isn't printing the veggie map after you make it. I took screenshots and will splice those together. Wanring about the download, i closed the software and reopened it and it all THREE hours of work. It not quite ready to use yet. I'm hopeful developer fixes it. ### 1/5 — Hard to figure out *2024-01-23, version 1.33* Hard to find stuff ### 1/5 — Obligan a pagar *2024-01-11, version 1.33* No es una app gratuita como dice, si quieres usarla como corresponde debes si o si pagar su suscripción. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-09, version 1.36* Great app. Useful information ### 5/5 — The Newbie Review *2025-07-27, version 1.36* The Vegetable Garden Planner is easy to use and get a quick idea of how your potting should be scheduled. The pictures also helped a newbie identify specific herbs to pot and when I could hopefully see it come up. Although I am not concerned right now, too much about what is planted where, it is interesting see the “friends and foes” of the garden. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-04-29, version 1.36* I’ve had this app for years it’s been really helpful and encouraging. I pick it up and drop it again but always go back to it. I’m hoping to use more of the features this year. I hope it remains cheap even better free. So I can continue learning ### 5/5 — Sehr gute Planungsapp *2025-04-26, version 1.36* Zwiebel und Kohlrabi sind keine guten Nachbarn, es wäre schön wenn das korrigiert werden würde. Und eins meiner Beete ist ca 12 m. Im Beetplan kann man bei so einer Größe nicht ganz rauszoomen. Ich bedanke mich für das entwickeln dieser App das erleichtert das Gärtnerleben. 😉 ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-04-24, version 1.36* Affordable and in depth resource for your gardening needs! ### 5/5 — Répond à mon besoin *2025-03-26, version 1.36* Cette appli répond parfaitement à mon besoin, il y a un calendrier de semis et de récolte, un planificateur de potager qui respecte le compagnonnage. Le seul hic, c’est que j’aimerais que nous puissions choisir le lieu de rusticités (par exemple, en estrie au Québec je suis 4b) le calendrier de semis serais donc plus précis! Il serait aussi génial de pouvoir nous même ajouter des légumes ou plantes en entrant le informations pertinentes, puis que cette plante puisse se placer dans le calendrier et dans l’espace potager! Merci! ### 5/5 — Wow! *2025-03-05, version 1.36* Everything I needed in one app! ### 5/5 — Great little app *2024-12-21, version 1.36* Perfect for dreaming about spring and making plans while sitting by the fire as the snow falls. Straightforward. Simple. Easy to navigate once you get the hang of it. ### 5/5 — Has potential *2024-09-25, version 1.35* In this day and age the majority of people are using raised beds. So it would wonderful if we could put all the beds on one page to see the layout of multiple beds at once. Different shaped beds would be great also. As well as adding more vegetables and companion flowers as well. ### 5/5 — Amateur aspirations to Decent Harvest *2024-09-06, version 1.35* I’ve been utilizing this app for probably about 3-4 years now. It’s user friendly interface has allowed me to increase my basic knowledge about planning and planting, especially realizing positive and poor adjacent companions as well as plotting the rotation of my plants to maintain nutrient dense soil health. It’s one of two go-to gardening apps I use year after year! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
