Ratings and reviews

Was introduced to the computer version of this app which was great when I was a student then also used it allot for working in Horticulture and Land Management The phone app however is extremely buggy and the search feature for common names is very average I also find it is missing a few plants here and there but majority of them are there Shame to see it's had no updates to fix these issues in a long time, would be an amazing app for work, study and DIY gardeners otherwise

Now that I have upgraded my phone I have installed the app and have found it extremely useful when looking up information. It is very comparable to the desktop version of the software. Would like to see an update as I am sure things have changed.

I've been using this data base at TAFE for 3 years and love it. I have only just discovered the app and it's just as good. So helpful and informative. It took a while to download all the plants, but then are a lot of plants and info, so it was worth it.
