more I’ve tried many plant care apps and most fall short. There are plenty out there that use faulty algorithms to determine watering frequency. There are just too many variables for these apps to get it right and I think those algorithms are worse than useless, hindering your ability to learn when watering is actually needed, and likely will lead to significant overwatering. Instead, this app does a great job of cataloging your collection and keeping track of ad-hoc and recurring tasks. You set the frequency but you can also look back and see your frequency averages, helping you to adjust care schedules as needed. A couple things I would love to see: 1) plant count. Would be fun to see this number rather than needing to manually count. 2) search feature for searching your own plants. If you have large collections and move plants around, sometimes it can take a lot of scrolling to find the plant in your collection you are looking for. 3) expanded plant library. The current library is somewhat limited.
Developer Response Hi Beckela, thank you for the kind words and glad you love PlantPal! As a daytime data scientist, I personally know it’s impossible to predict when my plants need water—there are just so many factors to take in. That’s exactly why I built the app. I’ve taken notes on your suggestions. Thank you and happy planting!

I used to use Planta but got sick of being given ads for their products or their premium features (worse yet, being told “your plant looks unhealthy and needs Dr. Planta!”) I tried many apps and this is by far my favorite! I love the clean, simple interface and it has all the features I was looking for and none of the distractions. My favorite part is the widget I can put on the Home Screen so I never forget about my tasks for the day. I’ve also provided feedback to the developer about future features I’d like to see included and they were very courteous. I paid a one time fee for lifetime premium which I was happy to do. I’m a convert!
Developer Response Hi Grace, thank you again for supporting for us, and for the thoughtful suggestions. We’ll keep up the good work here! Cheers.

I’ve been using this app for my plants since the end of January, and it has quickly become my favorite! I love that I can set up custom schedules for each plant, and adding my old photos for tracking was super easy—you can upload multiple at once.The app is simple, clean, and focused on tracking without any unnecessary extras. The layout is great too!One thing I’d suggest is adding an option to view all locations on one page you can scroll through. Right now, when I assign plants to a location, the list jumps away, which makes it harder to see everything at once. I personally use locations to group plants with different light requirements, but I’d still like a “my plants” style view where everything is shown together, just grouped by location.Overall, I definitely recommend this app if you’re looking for an easy, no-frills plant tracker!Update (August 24, 2025): This is still my favorite—I use it every day and love it. 🌱❤️

This app is awesome. The UI is beautifully simple and I love how it looks right now. I can add plants and have their watering schedules for free. I really love how the app looks so I am paying the extra 99 cents a month (very reasonable price) for the other features such as fertilizer schedules and so on. This app is literally exactly what I would create as a software engineer and envision as a plabt tracker logging app so I am glad it is already on the app store.One thing I would add to make the app better is if it could sync between my iphone and ipad… as of right now it does not :(
Developer Response Hi there, thank you for the kind words and I’m glad you enjoy PlantPal as much as we do!Regarding cloud sync — yes the app does sync via iCloud, and it’s on by default as long as you enable iCloud on both devices and have signed into the same iCloud account. Would you be able to shoot us an email at hi@plantpal.net so that we can help further? You can include a screenshot of the iCloud sync status that you can find in the App’s Preferences tab.

Greetings, plant parents. This update includes minor UI and localization fixes and resolves issues that prevented widgets from refreshing in some cases.
Thank you — we hope you enjoy the update. Happy planting!
2026.15 Jun 9
Hello, plant parents! This update brings clearer task views and reliability fixes.
What’s new
- Redesigned Home Screen task widget: now shows tasks broken down by type so you can see at a glance whether the day is just watering or more.
- Redesigned Live Activity: now reflects your remaining tasks for today — and even when you jump ahead in time.
- Live Activity now starts intentionally when you check off a task, reducing chances of seeing it when you can’t act (for example, when you’re away from home).
Fixes
- Tapping the Photo Home Screen widget now opens the photo reliably.
- Live Activity no longer resets time-travel settings when tapped.
- Button images display correctly on iOS 18.
- Home Screen widgets load reliably from the background.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the app to crash when moving to the background.
Enjoy the update! We’d love your suggestions and feedback.
2026.14 May 22
Greetings, plant parents! This update improves task notifications to help you get chores done and keep your plants thriving.
• Location-based reminders when you return home — a great complement to time-based alerts. Requires precise location with “Always” access. PlantPal respects your privacy and battery life: it doesn’t run continually in the background. iOS monitors the area and notifies PlantPal when you return.
• Snooze notifications for 20 minutes or 1 hour — long press a notification to postpone it and get another reminder shortly.
• Two new Shortcuts actions for power users:
– “Send Notification” — sends a PlantPal notification if tasks remain. Use with triggers like location, time of day, Focus mode, etc.
– “Get Task Summary” — returns a text string when tasks are due for use in custom actions (for example, Messages).
Other fixes and improvements:
• Morning Summary no longer lights the screen, vibrates, or plays a sound.
• Fixed room color changes not saving correctly.
• Updated notification sound — more modern and cheerful, with a subtle sense of urgency.
• Redesigned plant library issue report view — shows exactly what you send and lets you add more comments and context.
Enjoy the update! We’d love your feedback.
2026.13 May 20
Greetings, plant parents! This update adds a Timeline for each plant — an easy way to view task records, photos, and text notes all in one place. You can now add text notes to record important details!
What’s new:
* Timeline view: add text notes, write captions on photos, and see care task records in a clean, chronological layout.
* One-tap swap to the classic photo grid — still the best compact view for all your plant photos.
* From the task list, tap the + button to add text notes directly.
Also fixed or improved:
* You can now add the date you added a plant to your collection. (PlantPal may suggest a date based on photo and task timestamps.)
* Fixed an issue where the plant widget always showed the “Archived” badge.
We hope you enjoy this update. Send us feedback or suggestions — we’re listening!
2026.12 May 5
Hello, plant parents! This update adds new features and improvements:
◎ Plant Widget — Pin a plant to your Home Screen
Add a new Home Screen widget to pin any plant from your collection. Tap the widget to open the plant directly — an easy way to keep your favorite plant front and center.
◎ Bug fixes & improvements
• More repeat options for tasks — choose 1–30 days, 1–20 weeks, or 1–12 months. The stepper now stays within the chosen unit (no more jumping between days/weeks/months).
• Fixed random thumbnail changes when multiple photos were in a plant note.
• Fixed typos and incomplete AI-generated text across the app and plant library.
Enjoy the update! Send feedback or suggestions — happy planting!
2026.11 Apr 22
Hello, plant parents! We’re rolling out an update to help you customize care tasks for your plants, and expand what you can do in the app for free.
◎ Customizable tasks
You can now do and track a lot more with tasks:
* Customize how each task appears in your list. For example, if you’ve been using semi-hydro setups, you can rename “Water” to “Top up” or “Flush”.
* Create multiple tasks of the same type — great for applying more than one fertilizer, or for occasional special treatments with watering or pesticides.
* Add text notes to each task to help you remember important details like dosage or strength.
* Enable or disable tasks so they no longer appear in your list — like archiving.
◎ More for free
We’ve updated what’s included for free:
* Manage 20 plants for free (up from 5)
* You will no longer see third-party ads in the app
* For free users, only watering tasks are available
◎ Other updates
Some app improvements:
* PlantPal is now localized for Italian.
* We reorganized sections on the plant detail page to make different plant details easier to understand.
* Added more external search providers. You can open an installed app using the plant search query in one tap for Bilibili, YouTube, Safari (using your set search engine), and Zhihu.
Some bugs fixed:
* On the Plant Detail page, Garden Day might have applied 7 days a week regardless of your settings. Fixed.
* On the My Plants page, plants might not align vertically. Fixed.
* In Plant Library, each plant’s watering and light requirements are now shown more clearly with a new meter design.
Thanks for using PlantPal. Hope you enjoy this update! Let us know if you have any questions or feedback. Happy planting!
2026.10 Apr 6
Greetings, plant parents! This update adds new and refreshed entries to the plant library — now with 504 plants.
• Corrected details for existing plants, including scientific names and some localized common names.
• Removed a few unnecessary entries, especially extra cultivars that cluttered search results.
• Added dozens of new succulents, with a focus on the Crassula family.
• Added many new subspecies and cultivars of edibles like lettuce, tomato, radish, and cucumber/squash.
• Added a fresh batch of common annual flowers loved around the world.
• Updated photos for edibles and herbs so they look closer to what you buy in stores and grow in small-space gardens.
• Added popular cultivars of favorite evergreens, including ZZ, Monstera, and Syngonium.
Enjoy the update! We’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions.
2026.9 Mar 24
Greetings, plant parents! This release is a big one, just in time for the new season.
◎ Improved Plant Library
We redesigned the plant library so it’s faster to search, more accurate to match, and more helpful for everyday care.
- Fully localized: Search and match plants in your preferred language. Works even if you use more than one language.
- Works offline: Access the library without an internet connection.
- 200+ new plants, including popular herbs, fruits, and vegetables from around the world.
- Richer info and images: We use generative AI to help fill in photos, descriptions, and tags, making the library more informative when you’re deciding how to care for a plant.
◎ Garden Day for your tasks (Pro)
For Pro members, we’re introducing Garden Day, a simpler way to keep a realistic weekly rhythm with your plants.
- One focused care day: Choose one day of the week as your Garden Day. A rabbit icon and orange highlight make it easy to spot in your task list.
- See what’s coming up: On Garden Day, PlantPal shows tasks that are due soon, so you can batch watering, pruning, and repotting instead of chasing tasks every day.
- Keep other days light: On non–Garden Days, you’ll only see tasks due that day, which keeps your list short and manageable.
◎ More ways to repeat a task
Your plants follow the seasons, and now your tasks can too.
- Seasonal repeats: Set tasks to repeat only in specific months. For example, schedule a deep clean or reshaping for early spring and late fall, and keep your list uncluttered the rest of the year.
- Flexible intervals: Make tasks repeat every X weeks or every X months, like watering every 3 weeks or fertilizing every 2 months, so you don’t have to remember the pattern yourself.
◎ App improvements & bug fixes
We fixed a long list of issues to help the app run more smoothly.
We hope this update makes it easier to learn about your plants, keep a realistic routine, and enjoy your garden. We always welcome your feedback and suggestions.
2026.8 Mar 17
Greetings, plant parents! This update focuses on improving app quality.
Photo Library improvements:
• If you view a photo from your Photo Library without the right permissions, the app now prompts you to grant or update access.
• Updated labels and messages for saving photos to your Photo Library, so it’s easier to choose the option that works best for you.
UI improvements:
• On iOS 16, a long-press on a plant now shows the menu side by side with the plant thumbnail. The thumbnail also has a subtle hover effect when using Apple Pencil on iPad.
• Similarly, on iOS 16, a long-press on a photo thumbnail shows the menu side by side with the photo thumbnail, with the same Apple Pencil hover effect on iPad.
Bug fixes:
• On iOS 18, some confirmation alerts for deleting plants, photos, rooms, and more might not show all buttons. Fixed.
• On iOS 18, the Save button could incorrectly appear as “Confirm” when creating a new plant or editing notes. Fixed — it now correctly shows “Save.”
• When a new day starts or your system time zone changes, the task list might not refresh correctly. Fixed.
We hope you enjoy this update. Share any feedback or suggestions from inside the app!
2026.5 Mar 3
Greetings, plant parents! This update brings big improvements to your care tasks.
◎ Filter and focus
We redesigned the task list to be more powerful and easier to use:
- See what’s on today’s agenda: Is it just watering, or is it time to bring out the fertilizer too? Now you can tell at a glance.
- Filter tasks by type: for example, focus first on plants that need fertilizing.
- When you’re done with a plant, hide it from the list so you can focus on what’s next.
- Expand task details and quickly jump to the plant page or the task history.
◎ Bug fixes
- Live Activity could start more than one instance at a time. Fixed.
- Some tasks still showed as “Due Today” after you completed them that day. Fixed.
- On plant pages and in photo lists, thumbnails could jitter when opening or closing the long‑press menu. Fixed.
- The app could crash when receiving a large number of updates from iCloud. Fixed.
We hope you enjoy this update! Let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions.
2026.4 Feb 17
Hello, plant parents!
We brought back the Search feature so you can quickly find your plants and any text in photo captions just by typing.
We also fixed several issues with the app’s interface and localization.
Enjoy using PlantPal, and feel free to share any suggestions or feedback!
2026.3 Feb 4
Hi plant parents! This update polishes our big 2026.1 release with a few small fixes and tweaks.
- When using PlantPal on multiple devices, if a plant or photo was deleted on another device, the page could turn blank. Fixed — you’ll now see a clear message explaining the plant or photo was deleted.
- Live Activity sometimes wouldn’t start correctly on iOS and iPadOS 26+. Fixed.
- The “Move…” menu could fail for some plants in your list. Fixed.
- We added a subtle visual highlight for the plant that’s currently selected and open in your list. This makes it easier to see which plant is active on iPad when using the 3‑column layout.
- We refined the text and tooltips for the “Filter” feature in the plant list to better explain how the filter button works.
We’re also retiring support for importing data from backups. The wording for “Data Export” has been updated to clarify it’s no longer a backup feature — PlantPal still supports data portability, and you can export your data to use in another app.
We hope you enjoy this update, and we’d love to hear your questions or feedback.
2026.2 Jan 20

- Tasks and plants might jitter and re-order themselves when you checked off a task. Fixed.
- Making a purchase of PlantPal Pro, or restoring your purchases, might show an alert that didn't dismiss itself. Fixed.
- Notifications might not load and work properly. Fixed.
- When you updated the room name, the new name was not immediately updated in the title bar. Fixed.
- In plant care notes, the grid of your photos might not adapt to wide screen layouts. Fixed.

2025.13 11/19/2025
Greetings, plant parents! This version fixed an issue where the app may crash when trying to upgrade with Pro Membership.
In a previous update, we brought you an updated design for iOS and iPadOS 26.
◎ Liquid Glass
The app fully adopts the design paradigm of Liquid Glass to highlight the view hierarchy and help you focus on your content. Some of the UI elements reacts beautifully to their surroundings and morph seamlessly to reveal more options.
◎ Multi-window support on iPad
On iPad, you can open as many windows of PlantPal as you need. The windows adapts properly to their size, and you can tile or overlay them however you like.
◎ Continuity and Handoff
You can continue your work from iPad to iPhone, or vice versa, thanks to iOS/iPadOS continuity.
◎ Accessible font size
In most parts of the app, PlantPal respects your choice of an accessible font size.
◎ And more!
For those app nerds out there — this version of PlantPal fully adopts SwiftUI, and we are gradually moving to modern frameworks such as Concurrency and Transferable. We cut thousands of lines of code from our codebase, and can move faster for planned features in the upcoming releases.
We hope you’ll enjoy this update. Please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions — we are all ears!

Greetings, plant parents! Version 2025.4 brings you iOS Photo Library integration, a major upgrade in the works for months. Here’s what it means to you:

You can also migrate your existing in-app photos to your iOS Photo Library.
Also fixed in the version:
* You might not be able to update the cover photo of your plants on iPad. Fixed.
* Improved: when you take a photo in the app with your camera, the photo now contains full EXIF information.
* Some widgets and app UI elements were not properly localized. Fixed.
