About this app

Plant Points helps you to make sure you have 30 different plants in a week. Studies have shown that people who eat 30 different plants per week are more likely to have good bacteria in their gut. Making sure you eat enough can be a challenge, can you remember what you had for breakfast last Tuesday? Plant Points can take the hassle out of remembering what you have eaten and ensuring a varied diet.

With Plant Points you can easily keep track of your weekly plants. You can log any plant you eat and if it’s a full portion, a tea or seasoning. You then get a score for the days points and your score for the week. Plant Points also keeps track of your streak, quickly see how long you have managed to maintain eating enough plants for a healthy gut.

How it works:
- Log every plant you eat during the day
- You get a point for each unique plant you have eaten
- 1/4 point for a seasoning or tea
- Goal is to have 30 points or more for the week

Plant Points will even give you helpful suggestions of plants you have not even or other ways to meet your goals.

Regularly eat meals that have the same collection of plants? You can create meals in the app that you can quickly add all the plants at once. No need to add 5+ plants individually each time you have a bolognese sauce.

Is it hard to remember to make a note of things? With Plant Points you can set helpful reminders to add your plants after every meal.

Plant Points has an achievement system to help keep you motivated on your health journey.

Modern app design. Choose from light mode or dark mode. You can even change the app colour (if green isn’t your favourite).

Ratings and reviews

Great idea, but UX needs polish. Logging a plant takes unnecessary taps (press +, then Add Plant, select the plant, then click Select again). Labels are inconsistent "Add Plant" sometimes means logging a plant, other times adding to the database, while similar actions use "Save." Biggest issue is arbitrary scoring. eg Chia counts as .25 points. The app is to encourage plant variety, so every plant should count equally. Impressive work for a solo developer though, just needs some tweaks

I love this app! I've been trying to eat 30 plants per week and have been looking for a simple way to keep track of them. This checks all the boxes. It is simple, it keeps track of both daily and weekly plants, you can add plants, you can add portions if you like. I have been using it for 3 months and there is not a single thing I don't like about it. It's perfect if you are trying to keep track of the variety of plants you eat in a week.

I really like this app, but it appears the free, ad-supported version is no longer available (it now just directs you to the Pro version when trying to add a plant). I have no problem with adverts on a free app, or even paying a small amount, but unfortunately I can't justify spending £38.49 when there are free alternatives available.

What’s new

This release makes it easier to give feedback directly in the app. I want to hear from you what would make it easier for you to use the app and have it support you in eating 30 plants per week.
