Great app for a brown thumb!!

This app is great for people who don’t know how to keep track of watering. I love how it gives reminders as well as keeps me on track with care and gives me instructions on how to care for plants. I also love how it gives information on specific plants. Taking pictures is so easy and adding each plant to my plants is a fun way of keeping everything in order and finding everything easily.
The only downfall is the app is a little expensive don’t know if I’ll be keeping my subscription $7.99 a week is a little pricey.

Waste of money

App has yet to diagnose one of my plant problems correctly. It has trouble identifying my plants. I am more than disappointed. What a waste of money! I purchased it based on the fact that it said I could use photos of my plants to identify a problem with my plants. Every time I send pictures of my plants, it pulls up three possibilities but none of them even look close to my plants leaves and they seem to be the same for a variety of different leaves and plants. This app was obviously released before they had developed enough variables to properly diagnose and treat plants. Total waste of money! The only thing it does provide is a set of how to’s for your plant so you could narrow it down yourself, but I could get that info from the internet without buying the app. Also my bad, I was not looking to record every time I water etc. I just find the app to be less
That user friendly or what I expected. But maybe it will be great for you if you like recording details of plant care. I don’t have time for that.

Hard to use, database run short, unfriendly interface

I never got to the point that I need to leave a bad review for an app, but Carl is so disappointing. I was looking for apps helping me better taking care of my plants. Carl requires membership to have access to the app. I continued with three day free trial and 7.99/ week after that out of curiosity. I’m willing to pay for good service. However, I couldn’t find my plants and the interface was also not ideal. I canceled the membership in the app immediately and never used it again. Surprisingly, I found it kept charging me for 7.99 per week afterwards until I canceled from apple’s subscription. I tried to communicate with customer service and the only access is the write feedback in the app. Interestingly, it always shows “something went wrong” message when I click on the messages in “My feedback.” Carl really need to improve their product, both frontend and backend, and work on increasing the database. I strongly disrecommended this app based on my awful experience.
