Ratings and reviews

I purchased the Premium plan for the integration with weather , but it seems it doesn't actually prompt the "Mark all outdoor plants as watered" option. The app clearly shows Heavy Rain as current weather, but no way to update the care schedule except one-by-one. I see this has been an issue for a while, too. Not sure what else I'm really taking advantage of for the Premium price. Otherwise it works well for keeping track of indoor plants well and includes a handy light meter.

Liked it at first, but minor frustrations with the UI added up. To do list should be sorted by room, rather than listing plants from all over my house in a random order. Once a task is marked completed or snoozed, it should disappear from the to do list. There should be an option to snooze a task for 1 day instead of 2. If you water a plant before the app says to, it takes too many clicks to update. Hope the developer improves these issues, as it has the potential to be a great app.

This was really helpful when I was getting started, and I quickly upgraded to the paid app. However, as my collection has grown to almost 250, the inability to perform batch tasks is getting old. If I water all my patio plants with the hose, I still have to click each one individually! Also, it used to offer the "did it rain? Mark plants as watered" notification but now that seems to be gone. It tells me there are storms in my area, but no option to mark all as watered anymore.
