Take our users' reviews into consideration: "App runs well and is great for keeping track of your houseplants. If you are into collecting all sorts of plants or just have a few around the house, the app is beneficial for reminders, identification, and sharing your plants." -jlj5237 "I mainly downloaded this app to help me remember to water my plants. It’s perfect for that and also for helping me identify potential diseases and other issues. It helped me save my Hoya Australis!" -ERobb0622 "I’m bad at keeping track of how long it has been since I’ve watered my plants because I have so many plants at this point. I like that this app also has the option to edit your watering schedule so that I don’t over-water my plants before they are ready to be watered again! The only thing I would suggest improvements on would be the diagnosis tool, I would like to see more diverse options rather than “this or that” -cheyenne444 "I am a plant mother to over 30, and Flora has helped me out so much!! From diagnoses to watering schedules, Flora makes being a plant parent easier." -plantlover222 "Amazing app with the coolest things like identifying your plant and all the information you need about its care. They have a reminder for watering and tell you how much to give and everything. They have quests and communities and a lot of fun and neat things to help you take the best care of your plant possible. But they have two versions the free one and the not so free one. The free one is great if you only have one or two plants. But the monthly or yearly membership has got all the great and plant saving information. But even the free version is awesome to use" -carrif77 [About Flora Plus - Premium] • Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase • Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period • The account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period • Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription • Subscriptions may be managed by the user, and auto-renewal may be turned off, by going to iTunes Subscriptions after purchase Read our Privacy Policy here: https://shop.florasense.com/pages/privacy Read our Terms of Service here: https://shop.florasense.com/pages/tos
