Photo quality and swiping

I’ve been using this app for more than 2 years now and I love seeing my plants grow from being small. The only issue I’ve been having since updating the app a year ago was swiping the photo. Everytime I swipe right to see new changes on my plant, it exits and go to About section. It’s frustrating. Also the quality of the photo is bad so whenever I zoom in the pic, it’s blurry. I like the look of the app though

Great for Tracking Activities

I tried probably 8 plant apps. This is the ONLY one that lets me note that I watered my plants on a different day than when I am entering the note. It also lets you make your own watering schedule instead of forcing you to use one based off their database, and it lets you delay a watering reminder by 2 days if you decide your plants don’t actually need water that day. Best plant app for sure!

Best Plant Care App!

I am new to houseplants - got my first one a month ago - and I wanted an app to help me track watering, fertilising, repotting…all the plant-y things. I tried a few others, but didn’t like how limited they were due to wanting you to pay for them. (We are a young, single income family, so we definitely don’t have the budget to be dropping $30 on an app!) Cue this app, Vera; I saw it featured in an article online and gave it a go, despite it being labelled more for established plant folks. I love it, and think it is totally beginner friendly!

The layout is open and aesthetic, and I really like all the updates you can add to your plants. The reminders and snooze buttons are nice as well. I like that you can name your plants and give them a profile picture; it’s cute, fun, and useful for if someone else needs to care for a plant while you’re gone or something. I have repotted 5 plants, and like that you can track each one as well. (They all seem to be doing really well, which is shocking and makes me so happy! Never thought I could do this.)

I really don’t have any cons for this app. It’s exactly what I wanted, and I love that it’s free. I would recommend to anyone that has houseplants. :)

Doesn’t include soul type or ph level

Would be great if it included oh level, which is very important for most plants. Also does not include soil type. Would be nice to see a little info about sprouting new plants from a leaf or stem. Other than that it’s a great app and includes a lot of information to take proper care of plants. I love that it includes the option to add notes and different pictures. Would be great if it had a category section. For example, I have many of the same type but in different stages of growth. It would be great to have each of those under one category like “ Arabica”. Then list each plant considering different sizes require a different watering, misting or food schedule.

Good app

I like this app a lot. Very helpful reminders. Nice look (I like having photos of all my plants, and I’m now familiar with their scientific names thanks to the app). One complaint: I never see app icon badges (little number next to the icon, telling me I have an alert). I’ve confirmed that it’s turned on in settings, restarted the phone etc., and I can turn on & off icon badges for many other apps, just not this one, so I think it must be an issue with the app. Please fix. That would make this app perfect.
