GrowIt: Garden Planner 4+

For the newcomers

I’m loving the grow it app and how informative it is. I wish we could get some new patchwork from the developers for goals completed goals and points with some sort of in app currency for in app backgrounds. Also, be able to share your garden pics with others. As well as, have a leaderboard option to see who has had the most goals or work completed in their garden. Lastly, for new growers, time lapse photos so they know what they are looking for from sprout to harvest. This update would have to be something like where we have to send pics for verification of completed goals. I love staying in the garden it’s a new found peace and I’m looking for fun ways to better my garden whether by presenting it more elegantly or by yielding a better harvest. Improvements for the app only mean more improvements in our garden. I support the GrowIt App both where it’s currently at and where its potential to grow is at. I can’t wait to see it blossom into the best gardening app on the market!!!

So far, I’m loving it!

I had always hoped to find an app like this that makes not only the planning of my garden easy, but also remembering to water, etc. I love that it can diagnose problems and has TONS of information to help you be successful in growing. It even tells you how many plants you can plant per square foot and if it’s next to companion plants or not. I docked a star for a couple of things, and maybe I just haven’t found them yet, but where there is a reminder to water, you can’t manually add rainfall. That would be a nice add and especially if you could track how much rain the plants got. Another thing, and again, I just may not have found it yet, I wish there was a way to track plant maintenance like fertilizer or even pesticides used and for what. The final thing is being able to manually enter when they sprout so that it keeps track of that as well. Ultimately, this app offers so much and what you get for the price seems very fair, but I do think it needs a few tweaks. I would definitely recommend this app, but developers, if you’re listening, think you could add a few more little options? Please? 🥰

WORST APP EVER

I downloaded this app based on recommendations and high ratings through the App Store and within 30 minutes I immediately knew it was a mistake. First off, this is NOT free. You have to pay for a subscription. And for what you ask? An extremely difficult to use and nonuser friendly layout or functionality app. I played around with the app a bit and part of me liked it. Then I started to plan my garden. That’s when it went downhill. I have already started my seedlings. The app wouldn’t let me say I planted said seeds on a certain date and when to transfer them outside. So I moved on knowing that I knew when to transfer my seedlings to the outdoors. I started to plan the layout. I added a jalapeño plant that apparently the app did not recognize and erased my entire garden map plan. I already struggled to add plants to the layout because of the sensitivity of the app graphics. But since I spent a good amount of time trying to figure out how to use the tool and start my layout, I had no desire to restart. Not only that, the app erased everything that I had logged as already planted. End result is this app is not functional and nobody should ever pay for it. Get a farmers almanac garden planner FOR FREE and ditch this stupid overpriced nonfunctional gardening app. Disappointed in the creators.
