Ratings and reviews

It has the basic features I'd expect, and isn't overloaded with bells and whistles. Sure, the interface looks a bit dated, but rather that than eleventy code monkeys' wasted time on pixel polishing. The only thing that I feel is missing (or rather... that I can't seem to find), is an option for backups and/or export of data. --thanks for the response!

Missing plenty of veggies, fruits, and herbs. No flowers or flowering herbs. Hasn't been updated since 2019, and the interface reflects that. Searching to plant requires you to scroll through every plant in the list instead of searching by name, type or variety. Quite limiting and slow to use. Could use some upgrades considering it's a paid app, but seems like it's abandonware at this point.

Like this app, but its missing some things. When you add a new plant it really should give the option to add an image. Also, the pre populated list is a little light... no blueberries, no cantaloupe plus many other things that I would think would be available. It would be cool if the people who use the app can create new plants that could be added to the full list. Otherwise it's a pretty good app that I'm going to keep using. :)
