I’ve had the app for 4 years now and was shocked when the new version called for a subscription. My 30-day trial just ended and I must admit I love the app more than before. Easy to use, can swipe within produce pages :) and it's cool to see produce in markets near me and far with the share market features. From one veggie enthusiast to another, get the app!

Talking about both free version and subscription of the app (not the website). This app seems to be, mainly, an encyclopedia for edible fruits/vegetables/roots/fungi (ie, Wikipedia, but with far less detailed information and not open to user contributions). In the app there is also a locator of sorts, but you can’t really customize where you want to search or how the information is sorted. For example, there is an option to let the app use your phone’s location, but there’s no way to know where it thinks you are or manually fine tune, and the list of produce it shows isn’t necessarily relevant anymore-it’s October as I type, all results, which were arbitrarily listed (not showing by closest to my location) were from July, and I can’t really get much detail beyond that in the app. I could go on, but suffice to say, even though I recognize that people don’t work for free, hence the subscription Specialty Produce wants users to pay, the annual subscription isn’t getting most (maybe Californians who have year round growing and farmer markets) anyone a useful service. Instead of this app, just go to their website if you find their efforts useful; there’s far more there and it’s for free.

We bought Ramps today. My wife was excited when she spotted them as they are never available in regular grocery stores. Looked them up on the app. While we knew these were harvested, not commercially ground, there was lots of other interesting information. Love reading about the various item we buy.

I find this app extremely useful and interesting. It really is like an Encyclopedia for produce. My favorite feature is finding recipes linked to each produce item. You can even save recipes in your own digital cookbook! :) if you are a produce lover or foodie, this app is worth every penny.

• New: crop, rotate and filter your photo before you share it • New: Top Produce by Country, a world map of each country's leading produce, with a breakdown by city • Sharing a spot now suggests produce places nearby instead of the nearest shop of any kind, and you can add the venue's website • Like a share right from its In Season Now card • In Season Now cards now show the city alongside the country, and no longer scroll on their own • My Fruit & Veg Notebook has a new look, and both it and My Cookbook now sort by name or date updated • Article summaries now collapse and reopen from the section header • Fixed the Apple Account sign in prompt that appeared on every launch, and My Cookbook thumbnails that never loaded • Layout fixes for iOS 26, clearer text in the dark themes, and bug fixes throughout
