Works great. Simple to use. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2024-08-03, version 2.8.2* I have found the app very useful by reminding me when to water my plants. Your app reminds me to take care of them properly and thank you for making this app. Keep up the good work and making other applications. ### 5/5 — Keeping my plants alive! *2024-07-06, version 2.8.2* Great simple but effective app. Enables me to see visual picture of when each plant needs watering and flags a notification when they need to be watered or fed. It’s so good as I have a poor memory but good visual recall and it’s based on pictures you up load I have used it to set reminders like when I should recharge my electric toothbrush. Can’t fault it really, I know it has revived some of my plants that need need more watering than I think they do, 30 plant plus household and not killed one since I’ve used this app! Also never a glitch or a bug in sight. Heartily recommend to any plant lover. ### 5/5 — Love the app *2024-07-05, version 2.8.2* I love the app. It reminds me too water plants when due. ### 5/5 — Updates on my plants *2024-06-16, version 2.8.2* It is so good to have this app for reminding but not very user friendly. I try to update the plants and can’t find my way around. Ex. The geranium passed during the winter. Now I have different plants...conundrum. ### 5/5 — Perfectly Simple, One Suggestion *2024-01-29, version 2.8.2* This does *almost* everything you need (see note below for exception) - set reminders on a recurring basis to do one of a handful of actions (trim, water, spray, etc.) to a plant of your name and photo choice. As a request to the developer and note to users, this would benefit greatly by allowing access by multiple users to a single account. My use case is leaving home for days/weeks and needing another person to handle the plant care in my absence. The other use case is sharing the workload across multiple household members (likely the more common use case). Great MVP! I hope you get enough donations to warrant the feature request. Cheers! ### 5/5 — Clean and easy *2023-10-15, version 2.8.2* It’s very simple to add plants and the schedule you want for them. I’m hoping the reminders will improve the health of my plants. ### 5/5 — Just what I need *2023-07-29, version 2.8.2* This app is everything I’ve been needing. It reminds me when to water my plants, the different ways each plant needs attention, and I love dragging the little plant icon into the water pot, it’s such a cute little feature! ### 5/5 — WaterMe App *2023-05-29, version 2.8.2* EXTREMELY helpful for the “challenged” gardener!👍 Couldn’t make it without this app.!! Thank you❤️ ### 5/5 — Just what I needed! *2023-02-21, version 2.8.2* This is a great little reminder app, just what I was looking for. More fun than just using a normal reminder app with being able to add a photo of the plant, etc. Thank you, left a tip. 🙂 ### 4/5 — Great app that works for me *2022-12-11, version 2.8.2* I like that this app is simple and easy to use. 4 stars because I wish I could take notes every time I water my plant or take pictures of their growth. ### 5/5 — Amazingly helpful *2022-10-12, version 2.8.2* I’ve been using this app for over a year now. I really love the customisation you can have for setting the watering schedule. After being an over waterer for so long this app (plus a moisture meter) helped me design the ideal watering schedule for each of my plants. I also like being able to set custom reminders like when to fertilise or mist and I like that I can take pictures of my own plants rather than using a stock photo, as it feels more personal. Really great app can’t recommend enough! ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2022-09-18, version 2.8.2* Straight forward app and effective reminder. Take a picture of your plant..google it..learn how to take care…set reminder! Done ### 5/5 — Just a great simple app *2022-09-14, version 2.8.2* This is just a great app. I tried a few others and they were complicated and convoluted. This one, you add your plant, tell the app how often you want to water it and it reminds you. You can take a picture, it doesn’t try to guess what the plant is and you don’t have to scroll through endless lists to find the name of your plant. There is a note section which I used to add plant care details. There is only thing I would love to see - and this is by no means a criticism, just a personal preference - you can add different reminders for the same plant, for example a reminder to must everyday vs. Water once a week. That’s great, wouldn’t change that. But the care notes I add on the watering reminder are only visible when it’s the water reminder and not the mist reminder. So the notes are added to the reminder as opposed to the plant. For example, if I notice my plant is a bit dry when I get the mist reminder, I can’t check the notes I have made to see if it should dry out a little in between waterings because the note is attached to the water reminder, not the mist reminder. Still, this aside, I’m still donating because the developer has created a great little app. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Water Me *2022-04-24, version 2.8.2* Love this app… I can’t remember anything and in the past have killed every plant I own. Now I have beautiful thriving plants in my home! ### 5/5 — Amazing app, VERY USEFUL *2022-03-19, version 2.8.2* Great design, easy to navigate, NO ADS?!? come on people. Links to different devices, it's actually so amazing. Highly suggest you download this app, i've tried many others and this takes the cake ### 5/5 — Great little app *2022-01-05, version 2.8.2* Simple and well-designed. This app lets me enter each of my plants and schedule their watering, fertilising, and trimming. Exactly what I needed ### 5/5 — Yes *2021-11-05, version 2.8.1* Get this one. This one is the one you need. I can keep track of all my babies, I’m autistic and I always forget things, some plants have died due to that. I am so grateful that this perosn made this lovely app. It’s so cute and fun too ### 5/5 — Good *2021-10-31, version 2.8.1* It has many great functions. You can even take a photo and name your plants. So many other details can be captured! Very thoughtfully-made app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tip *2023-04-13, version 2.8.2* If you need money I suggest you stand on the corner with a “help need food” sign!!! That being said I am deleting this app… Good luck ### 1/5 — Data Loss *2020-12-11, version 2.6.1* unfortunately the latest 2.6.1 database migration seems to have deleted ALL of my plant data! very upset! the app does not seem to store data anywhere but the device and an update apparently can wipe all the data. User Beware! ### 1/5 — Was great *2020-05-07, version 2.5.2* Italian Lang update keeps it from opening now ### 2/5 — Notification issue *2021-07-24, version 2.7.0* The notifications aren’t showing up at all, and I checked to make sure my plants didn’t have their notifications paused and they were not paused. I use this app because I’m a forgetful person, but the new update ruined the notifications completely. ### 2/5 — Reminder not working *2021-06-07, version 2.7.0* Set up all reminders but there are no notifications until I open to check the reminder and it says “due yesterday”. Make no sense if no notifications; no way to set up too. Plus, reminder can only set for 21 days maximum? My plants will be alive more than 21 days, I hope. ### 3/5 — App works well *2021-06-22, version 2.7.0* App sends notifications about when to water your plants, easy to set up. I wish it had more flexible scheduling though. You have to create separate reminders for fertilizing, and you cannot delay a reminder (in case your plant doesn’t need to be watered on the day of your reminder) ### 3/5 — Wish *2020-06-15, version 2.5.5* Wish I could move my picture around if I accidentally picked the wrong one. And, I wish I could set my “chores” for a particular day- ex: choosing Saturday to water/ Fertilize ### 3/5 — Almost perfect... ALMOST *2020-04-19* Love how simple and clean this app is BUT... 1) would be great if you could manually change the date the plant was last watered. Sometimes I forget to actually mark that I watered a plant until it’s the next day and I check the app to see what needs to be watered when I get a notification. Also useful if the plant is outside and it rained. 2) not as important but would be nice to have a tab for a calendar view with the pictures of the plants on the days they need to be watered/fertilized. Sometimes the regular view gets confusing because there are no dates for the “Later” plants so I have to click on them to see when they need attention next. Otherwise - love this app! ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2020-03-13* I just got into growing indoor plants and have been having a lot of fun using resources around me like books and apps such as these. I wish that this app included a little more information about the plants you add to your journal. I also never received any reminders to my phone when I set up reminders every week on this app. You have to enter the app to see what to do. Other than that there are no glitches run really smoothly and would be helpful for more experienced planters. **Developer response:** I'm sorry you're having issues with the notifications. Today I released an update to the app that fixes one notification issue I found. If the update does not resolve the issue, email me from within the app. I hope I can solve your issue. Thanks for using WaterMe. ### 3/5 — Extra functions would be appreciated *2018-04-30, version 2.0.4* It would be lovely if reminder categories included ready entries like —> wipe, repot, propagate, as well as an option to undo, in case tapped ‘watered’ accidentally. Thanks ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great simple app *2026-07-04, version 2.8.2* Works well, best I could find. Highly Recommend. ### 5/5 — A god send *2026-05-11, version 2.8.2* Thank you so much for making this app and sharing it with everyone. I have a hard time keeping track of all my plants and remembering when I last watered them. This app is so helpful and is much needed for someone with ADHD like me. ### 5/5 — Great find *2026-02-10, version 2.8.2* This app is the best FREE app for keeping track with the UX well polished. Only realised there were paid extra by digging around in the app but they aren’t required for the basic reminders. Get this app and no other, it’s also cheaper if you do decide to financially support the generous designer. ### 5/5 — Needed this! *2025-12-27, version 2.8.2* Great FREE app to remind me to water my plants ### 5/5 — Massive help *2025-10-30, version 2.8.2* I have ADHD and sometimes it’s hard to remember to do things. This app has been a massive help and although my garden isn’t massive yet it has a white grape vine, pumpkin vine, pineapple plant and two aloe Vera’s that are strong, deep rooted and beautiful thanks to this app telling me when to water, fertilize and check for pruning. Thank you so much WaterMe!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2025-10-18, version 2.8.2* Great idea and very simple looking and intuitive app :) ### 5/5 — Simple and Solid *2025-08-17, version 2.8.2* It doesn’t do a lot. You take a picture of your plant, you set a schedule to water and you will get reminders. But if that’s all you need, then it works well and is easy to use. ### 5/5 — Wonderful free app *2025-05-16, version 2.8.2* This app is fantastic and free. Can’t ask a lot of a free app but if I did, it could use the ability to change the date of when you completed the task (in case you forgot day of) and also if you could do “XX times a week” it would take it from a great app to an amazing app. ### 5/5 — Love *2025-03-13, version 2.8.2* I love this app. I’ve used it for many many years helping me keep track of my plants. It’s a beautifully simple UI and such a pleasure to use. I owed this app a review a long time ago! ### 5/5 — Easy schedule with reminders!!! *2024-12-17, version 2.8.2* I was looking for a simple and free watering schedule for my plants (that offered more than 3 plants) and this app has exceeded my expectations. I’m able to take a picture of all my plants, name them, and have them all on different water schedules. I look forward to continuing using the app to care for my plants. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
