Not too bad

Température tolerances and Way of planting those trees arent in the App. Pictures could be a bit bigger.

Good Start

Good information for the beginning gardener. Like the fact that it doesnt require wifi connection so you can take it with you to a garden store. Pictures are nice (some could be sharper). Disappointed that it wasnt as comprehensive as the name implies - especially considering the $9.99 price tag though obviously a lot of work went into it. It is nicely set up otherwise and easy to navigate. Maybe add a section for bog plants. Hard to imagine a water plant section without hornwort, water hyacinths, duckweed etc and other very basic aquatic ponding essentials. Hopefully additional free updates will soften this criticism.

Too Expensive for this App

Its obvious that a lot of work went into this app, but the creators have dropped the ball in certain aspects. Aside from poor spelling mistakes ( in Chinese wisteria) , too many plants lack descriptions, dimensions (both height and width), and some pics have no common name listed! A lot of plants are duplicated with the info being the same but the colour is different. This makes scrolling very tedious. I think this could be an excellent app if these changes are made and I may change my rating according to improvements. At this point $10 is too expensive, and better spent on a landscape book with pics instead.

Needs more information

I thought that for $10 I would get tips on how to care for the plants, possible recipes for herbs, etc. Overall the app is pretty basic with information you can get from wiki with little added value. Dissapointing after reading the hype.

i dont like new update

before we had all the pictures no need for conections and now needs to download all back again this is really not an upgrade! i didnt want to download the upgrade but i hit the button by error and regret it!!

Slowly dis-improving,

Fine so long as you have a handy access to the Internet in the middle of someone elses garden. I had NO pictures to refer to despite viewing hundreds of pictures to try and avoid just this scenario. Promising start went bad

WEEDS!

Im a young landscaper and sometimes I have a hard time telling weeds from ground cover or herbs etc in the gardens I work in. A cool idea for this app would be to include a section for weeds and instead of growing tips, put tips on how to kill the weeds and keep them away! 5 stars if you work with my idea...

Update crashes!

4 times out of 5 the app crashes when I try to view pictures of plants! Other than that, great app!

Bad Update

App used to work great. After update pictures wont come up. Hoping they fix this problem!!!

Upgrade is a problem

App crashes lots when viewing plants.

Great App But,

Its a fantastic app but they still have plants to add in and sometimes crashes but it has great information.

Lots of crashes

I like the app, but get annoyed with the crashes. Also , some of the plant pics are wrong.

Awful

Way to limited to the point that it is useless as a working tool. Bad photos as well. Do not buy

Good app

Very handy app. I would love to see a category on weeds also. Some categories need more pics. Needs more descriptive details.

Great

Great help with customers

Needs to make images a one-time download

I dont like that consultation always costs me bandwidth. I would like images to be a one-time download so that I can get them while Im still in a wi-fi zone. Thanks!!

Landscapers Companion

Within 20mins of download-app froze in the note writing section. However it seems to be not a bad resource tool. Would like to see search abilities based on bloom time, height and color.

Love This App!!! Version 2.70.0 Rocks!!!

Extremely helpful when looking at plants in the Garden Centres that do not have a label and/or just a name. A little description on how to plant and care for the plant would be nice to. Overall, I love this app. Keep up the fantastic work. The Advanced Search finally works!!! Also impressed with all the additional photos and how quickly they load.

Still needs improvement

I find this app to vague. Not really useful in my zone. What would make this app great is the ability to edit the information and add your own pics. Even add my own plants to the catagories. Example: Plants Database app. Need the ability to add pics from camera roll, copy and paste, edit plant info. & categories, add your own plants,and add notes to individual plants. Make the app customizable for each users needs. Then it will be an awesome and useful app worth double the amount.

Nice but incomplete plant database

Its quite an extensive database but with a few things missing. Please add soil and PH requirements. Please include more orchids.
