Bonsai Album 4+

Great for recording information

I only just started using this app a month or so ago. I have found it extremely helpful in maintaining details and information for each tree. The latest update was good and made things easier for the user. I find recording details of pots a bit time consuming but the effort will be worth it in the end One modification I would like to suggest is to make "style" user adaptable. I live in the Southern Hemisphere and our styles don't always follow northern hemisphere dictates and it would be great to be able to be able to have styles that are relevant to us. Having just finished recording details of my pots, a couple of further suggestions. With pot shape suggest "other" with further dropdown to write own description With size of pot, suggest that you do similar to what you do in trees ie separate entries for width, depth and height Good work 👍👍👍

Fantastic app for Bonsai recording🌳!

This app is great for all your bonsai recording needs.

I do think the photo features should be easier to move around once uploaded. So you can easily update the default photo for the Bonsai directory. After 25 years you are not going to want to see the very first photo of nursery stock you purchased as the one that draws your attention to the particular tree you are searching for in the directory. And it’s clunky having to delete older photos and re-upload them so that the latest photo is the directory one. Also losing any text you’ve added to that photo.

Finally it would be great if you could set multiple reminders to your calendar for a single log entry. If I repot and style a tree, I’d like to set a 3 month reminder to remove the wire and a 1 year reminder to check for the need to repot.

Fairly minor tweaks that would mean a 5 star rating in my opinion! Still very good value for the cost and the features as is!

Thanks for a great app.

Developer Response ,

Did you know you can rearrange the photos on the Photos screen for each bonsai, pot, or log? On any Info screen (Bonsai Info, for example), tap the Photos button in the top-right of the screen. You'll see a list of all the photos associated with that bonsai, pot, or log. Tap-and-hold on the photo you want to move, then drag it to the new ordering. If you want to move a new photo into the first slot, simply drag it to that position and it'll appear as the main photo for that bonsai, pot, or log on the main list display. This process also retains the text caption associated with each photo.

Exceptional Organisation App for all your Bonsai

Really happy with this excellent app for organising all your Bonsai, and keeping track of them as changes are made.
Wishlist for future updates:
- Being able to edit the bonsai styles similar to the species list.
- Being able to organise by plant family or genus
- Have a different box for water needs /soil moisture requirements (some of them prefer to be left in a small tray of water while others need to dry out a bit before the next watering.
