Lettuce Grow 4+

I’ve never written a review for an app, but this one deserves it. For those that can’t tell the difference between butter lettuce and regular lettuce or anything else that’s green and leafy, this is for you. And beyond the plant identifier, the information and recipes are pretty awesome, too. What truly blew my mind was the link to “send in for review” - I got a response super quick (within minutes) that told me what my plant was, how old it was, AND when I could harvest it. The second review request I sent in was answered equally fast and contained a link to a video! I’d say it’s the best app of its kind, but I think it may be the only one of its kind. So, yeah, it’s the best!

The system is great, I love it. The App is more annoying than useful. I mostly wanted it for the reminders to fill, fertilize, and check my pH. But, the system and the seedlings arrived on a Wednesday. Lettuce Grow should know this, as they sent it and should have tracked. That’s when I set the system up, so that’s when I do the weekly maintenance. However, the reminder I get is every Friday without fail, which means it’s either two days too late, or five days too early. There doesn’t seem to be any way to adjust this date to your preferred day of the week or to turn it off since it’s useless to get reminded on the wrong day.

Gave it two stars as App doesn’t crash much and it does remind me of what I ordered, in case I’ve forgotten. I suppose I could also use it to reorder supplies but am more likely to just use the website for that. As far as it’s primary function, it’s useless.

I thought my Lettuce Grow app was broken. I used to be able to review the latest shipment of seedlings. Previous shipments were also available for review. Now the “Latest shipment” is the first shipment ever placed, from 15 weeks ago. It’s one big sideways scrolling list. All shipments combined. It was more useful when broken into the historical orders by date. When I click on the “more info” link below a seedling, the screen fills with a long error message and then the app quits.

Also the alerts are useless. One big list that does nothing.
It had to be broken. So I deleted the app and reinstalled it. Same problems.
Then I realized that the app had updated to a new version 3 days before.
I don’t appreciate this update. It is buggy and far less logical than the previous version.
The one request I sent in doesn’t seem to be added. When browsing seedlings to add to the shopping cart, if you view the details of a seedling, there is no obvious, easy way to go back one step to the list you were on, so you can continue to browse other seedlings. You have to go all the way back to the “Shop” link and choose seedlings again, then bypass all the annoying bundles, just to get back to the available seedlings list.
