A kitchen garden is easy to start and hard to keep track of. GrowPlan holds the details - what is in each bed, when to sow, what needs water and what you actually picked - so you can spend the time growing instead of remembering. 156 crops across 16 botanical families, on a sowing calendar that moves to match your own frost dates rather than someone else's. NEW TO GROWING? Start with one bed. GrowPlan tells you what can go in the ground this month, how far apart to space it, and roughly when it will be ready. Today's jobs appear on the home screen the moment you open the app, so there is never a question of what to do next. • A sowing calendar adjusted for where you garden, not for southern England • Frost dates estimated from your location, and correctable if you know yours better • Plain-language growing notes for every crop • Watering and feeding reminders you can switch off any time • Companion suggestions, so what you plant together helps rather than hinders BEEN AT IT A WHILE? The parts that matter over years, not weeks. Every position in every bed keeps its own record of what grew there and when, and the planner tells you which families are still resting and which are clear to go back in. Weigh what you pick and the totals tell you which crops earned their space. • Multi-year rotation history, per position, kept even after a crop is pulled • Rest periods worked out per botanical family • Harvest log with per-crop totals and a best-crop-of-the-season figure • A garden journal that keeps your notes with the season they belong to WHAT YOU GET FREE As many gardens as you like, the sowing calendar, the plant database, companion planting, this season's crop rotation warnings, the journal and the full harvest log. No time limit, and no advertising anywhere in the app. GROWPLAN PRO • Rotation Planner - what stood in each position in previous years, which families are still resting, and what is clear to sow next • Smart Watering - advice that reads your local forecast before telling you to water • Weather Alerts - frost, sustained heat and heavy rain, checked against a real forecast for your garden • Pest & Disease Guide Pro is £2.99 a month or £19.99 a year, both starting with a free week. There is also a one-off £49.99 lifetime purchase if you would rather not have another subscription. GrowPlan Pro Monthly - £2.99 per month GrowPlan Pro Yearly - £19.99 per year GrowPlan Pro Lifetime - £49.99 once, no renewal Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: GrowPlan at none against FireStick Remote Control's shown. GrowPlan also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). FireStick Remote Control's advantage is chart position (#47 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
