Description

Stick out your green thumb because it's time to hitch a ride to the garden tech future. Introducing your time-traveling companion, Garden Camera! She uses the storytelling power of time-lapse photography and frame x frame animation to let you witness the stretching, bending, branching, and fruiting of your plants, flowers, containers, gardens, and yards! There's no setup, expensive professional rigs, tripods, waterproofing, or other objects that your neighborhood squirrel may use as a launchpad. Just line up each shot with the overlay tool, shoot, and in a few days, weeks, or months, export a spectacular growth video rake in those likes, comments, and shares.

*insert trowel drop here*

Simple & Easy: is how it works
Create some image collections by snapping a few pictures of your plants, flowers, containers, gardens, and full sections of your yard. Then every few days, take another picture with the overlay tool to match the orientation of the original pic. Like a cartoon animator, the overlay tool acts like a lightbox so you can line up each photo you take with the previous photo. Once you have a few photos, hit play and watch your plants and flowers bloom before your eyes! When it's time to post progress, tap on the triple dots to save or share a time-lapse video to your device library or on your favorite gardening social media channels. It is super fun and you'll be wishing you had it even earlier in the growing season.

Thanks for checking out this app! Proceeds for my apps go back into making more apps we all wish we had to help maintain our gardens. I'd love your feedback on the website as I continue to support this and my other apps for plant lovers into the foreseeable future.

Possibly great - needs better instructions

This app is potentially exactly what I have wanted: a way to organize my plant photos over time so that I document growth and development of plants in my garden as well as in the field. I assume this is a new app, still in development but a “support or help” section and how to reach the developer is needed.

How can I help?

Extremely lacking in performance and features.

I was looking for an app that did exactly what this one promises to offer, but the overlay feature is excruciatingly hard to use, with no options to change the way the overlay image is displayed. Additionally, the app only allows you to take cropped/square format images - no way to change to different dimensions. You are also not able to import any previously taken images to use in the time lapse set or to use as an overlay to continue where you left off.

Absolutely do not purchase this application.

Thanks, Josh. Appreciate the feedback and the feature requests. There are plans to add different overlay controls, dimensions as well as import. Currently the app is optimized for social media posts which is where the majority of uses who are downloading this app intends to use it. I hope people will continue to download the app so that I can continue to add cool new features and make it better.

Unable to use

I wanted to use this tool to take photos of my garden I could use for bulb placement so I could see spring photos, late season photos and ensure bulbs are going in correct spots. There are no directions and the Usef interface isn’t helping me. At this point I’m giving up. Which is too bad! It’s exactly what I want- but I can’t figure out how to make it work. If the developers can add a little instruction - I’d be happy to try it again and re-review.
