### 1/5 — Unable to restore the premium purchase.

*2025-01-03, version 3.1.3*

Unable to restore the premium purchase.

### 5/5 — So pleased!

*2023-10-26, version 3.1.3*

I am so happy with this little find! I am so sick of all these greedy subscription apps, I just wanted something where the knowledge I was looking for was centralised and ad-free. This app charges a small and very fair price for it’s information, which is extensive, straightforward and very very helpful! To my surprise it even includes a planting tracker which is beautifully designed with fantastic UX and even lists the nutritional properties of all the herbs and vegetables (and even some fruits) in comparison to each other, which is extensive and quite in-depth. A lovely app which I highly recommend! Went out of my way to write a review (an extremely rare occurrence!) because I am hoping the dev will continue their fine work. Thanks for what you’ve created, only feedback I would give would be like another has said, if we could have a setting which would change the info from northern hemisphere to southern that would be great, but not hard to figure it out in the meantime… Thanks again!

### 4/5 — Payment for locked extras

*2017-05-16*

Shame it's not all free. Good info on what you can see. But I am NOT putting my credit card details in for extras!! Shame there is not PayPal in the App Store. I would rather a load of adverts and have the rest free to be honest, makes life easier. 
I never buy apps as all info is online is free anyway. But I would buy this if payment was PayPal some how.

### 2/5 — Looks good but...

*2015-03-04*

Only a few crops are available in the free version.

### 2/5 — How much is full version?

*2014-01-31*

The app looks interesting so I went to buy the full version to see how much it is...and it doesn't say. It just wants my password to process the purchase. Sorry but I am not buying anything without knowing the cost. Please provide the price or I will not buy the full version. Thank you.
