Ratings and Reviews
Initial onboard issues but GREAT support!
I saw this app come up on AppAdvice as a limited lifetime free option and I was extremely excited as I've wanted to grow my own backyard garden for sometme, but my last attempt yielded zero sprouts (quite dissaappointing indeed). Now I would have support advice to help manage my garden and help track my plot! I have grapes growing in my front yard, oranges and Meyer Lemons in the backyad; a banana plant on the side, and other grafted trees on my property which helps me feel connected to my land and the Earth in general. It has been very rewarding over the years and the lemons are sold locally and seem well-liked. Now I have the tools to take this to the next level and grow with the support that I didn't have before and couldn't do alone thanks to this app! I appreciate the resolution of some onboarding issues and it's moved me to write my second review ever on the Apple App Store. Very much appreciated guys! I'm off to launch my Good Pickens location with gusto!
*** 1/4/25: Revised back up to 5 stars from 4 as they really went out of their way to make this a great experience and supported it whole heartedly.

Simple and Effective!
I’m new to gardening. After a dozen hours of searching the web for info, felt absolutely stuck. There is so much info out there and most of it - has nothing to do with where or I live or my degree of knowledge (actually lack thereof). Rhubarb takes this chaotic, over whelming information and simplifies it to my works and my needs. No longer searching the web for help! It’s a question to Rhubarb and quick, reliable info is delivered back to me. The reminders keep me in track and prevent me from over watering or under watering. Rhubarb has made a daunting project so incredibly simple and that’s what technology is supposed to do! Bravo!

Thank you for the lovely review! It means a lot, we’ve worked hard to make it very localized so you are working with the best information possible. We are thrilled you’re enjoying it.
Garden Buddy Extraordinaire
Rhubarb has made my debut in gardening so much fun! I recently moved to a new area which is in a very different zone from where I grew up. Ruby, the AI assistant, has answered all my questions specifically to my zone. The app has made gardening so much more accessible and streamlined. I can ask questions like “what should I plant this month?” or “when do I harvest my garlic?”
The social networking aspect has been fun because I can gain insights from other gardeners in my area and get ideas of what to plant next time!

Thank you JennaLou21,
I started Rhubarb based on my frustrations when I moved to a place very different from where I grew up. I'm so glad you've found it useful.
Cheers,
Whitney from Rhubarb
