SoilIQ 2.5.5: Two Answers Is One Too Many The last update taught half the app to read your soil type, and said so. This one finishes the job. Watering, mowing and the best day to plant now account for whether your ground is sandy, loamy or heavy clay, so the app no longer gives two different answers about the same soil on the same screen. And where it cannot tell what your soil is, it now says nothing instead of showing a number that looks like an answer. What's new: - Every moisture reading in the app is now judged against your own soil. The same number means a soaked garden in sand and a thirsty one in clay, and every screen now knows the difference. - Where the soil survey has no data for your address, moisture is left out rather than shown as a colour coded number. An honest gap is more useful than a confident guess. - Watering reminders can now be found and turned off. Settings lists every reminder you have, with its garden, its crop and its time, and a Stop button on each. You can reach it whether or not you subscribe. - The Soil Health card stops answering when it has nothing to answer with. A reading it cannot judge now shows a dash rather than a tick or a cross. - The Soil Health card reads one soil and one temperature throughout, so the ring and the four readings beneath it can no longer disagree. - If you decline the location prompt, the app now tells you what happened and offers a way forward, instead of waiting quietly forever. - The moisture chart is scaled to what your soil can actually hold, so a waterlogged reading sits clearly above the wet line instead of at the top of the chart. Fixes and improvements: - The Today screen could tell you to plant now while saying, a few lines below, that the soil was dry. The planting prompt now reads the same soil as the rest of the app, and tells you what is missing instead. - A watering reminder could keep arriving for a garden you no longer have saved, with no way to stop it except turning off watering reminders altogether. - A soaked lawn could read that moisture was holding well, and the advice to stay off wet ground could not be reached at all. - One screen showed two different counts of good planting days, and days later in the forecast were called ideal with no moisture data behind them. - Sandy ground could show a healthy moisture tick while the soil was holding more water than it can drain. - A moisture percentage was shown, and colour coded, for places where there was no soil data to interpret it. - A missing soil temperature produced a red cross in one place and a dash in another, on the same card. - The seedling frost card quoted a colder temperature than the warning it appeared on. - Six crop tips gave a planting temperature that disagreed with the crop's own. Watering, mowing and planting advice may read differently after this update, because they now account for your soil type rather than one range applied to every garden. Where the soil survey cannot tell us what your ground is, moisture is left out of the advice rather than guessed at. Stop Guessing. Plant by Soil.

SoilIQ 2.5.4: One Night Is Not Enough Warning Until now, a frost warning arrived the evening before, when there was little left to do but cover what you could reach. Now it looks five nights ahead, and it tells you when cover will not be enough. Several other places where the app applied one number to every soil, or read the wrong garden, have been corrected too. What's new: - Frost warns up to five nights ahead instead of one. The next two nights arrive as urgent alerts about tonight. Nights three to five are framed as a forecast and say if it holds, because a night that far out is not settled. - The advice changes with the severity. A light frost says cover tender plants. A killing freeze says cover will not save them, and to harvest what you can and bring containers in. - Frost now covers every garden you have saved, not only the one on screen. A second or third location was never warned before this. - Soil moisture is read against your soil's own texture everywhere the app interprets it. The same reading means very different things in sand and in clay, and one fixed range was being applied to both. - Where the soil survey has no texture for your location, SoilIQ shows the number, labels it water by volume, and says plainly that it will not guess what it means. - Watering reminders read the soil at the plant's own garden rather than wherever your phone happens to be. - The season length check behind planting advice now runs all year. It was doing nothing from January to mid May, which is most of the sowing season. Fixes and improvements: - A sandy location read dry and advised irrigation at every moisture level sand can physically hold, including immediately after watering. - The moisture detail called a reading adequate directly above a card saying the ideal range ended lower than that. - LawnIQ and PlantAI could show different soil temperatures for the same depth at the same address. - Tapping a frost warning or a watering reminder opened the wrong screen. - Crop planting alerts kept arriving after planting notifications were switched off. - A tracked crop with no saved location was invisible to frost warnings. - Pre-emergent timing had three thresholds that disagreed with each other. - The lawn status reset every time the app opened, and four crops carried the wrong planting temperatures. Your soil health score may move with this update. Sandy and clay locations were scored against a range that only suited loam, so many will read higher than before. Where there is no texture, moisture is left out of the score rather than guessed at. Stop Guessing. Plant by Soil.

SoilIQ 2.5.3: Warm Enough Is Not Enough Time Until now, PlantAI called a crop ready when your soil was warm enough today. It never asked whether enough season remained for that crop to finish before frost. Now it does. Several other places where the app assumed what season, or what place, it was in have been corrected too. What's new: - PlantAI checks whether enough season is left, using your location's own frost record and the next two weeks of forecast. Expect fewer crops than before, and a bigger drop the shorter your season. That is the check working. - Every crop says what it expects: ready now, a partial pick before frost, or a warm autumn finishes it and a cool one may not. - Pre-emergent timing now knows which way the soil is moving. It was a temperature band and nothing else, so autumn soil falling back through the spring range reopened a window that closed in June. - The app can no longer recommend overseeding and pre-emergent on the same day. Pre-emergent stops seed germinating, and until now both could appear together. - Field and forage crops have left home garden recommendations. Sorghum, millet, alfalfa and the lawn grasses now sit in their own section or in LawnIQ. - A location that has never recorded a frost no longer gets a made up frost date. - A region is no longer treated as a point. Searching a state saved its centre and read the soil there. Fixes and improvements: - The planting window card recommended crops the app had already ruled out, offering tomatoes at a mountain location in August while the count below it correctly said no. - Two things on one screen both said Ready Now and gave different numbers. - Crops with no picture showed a plain green circle, and every lawn grass showed a golfer. - Pre-emergent timing had two separate rule sets that disagreed with each other between 58 and 67 degrees. - The floating PlantAI and LawnIQ control let crop names show through it, so two lines of text collided and neither could be read. Stop Guessing. Plant by Soil.

SoilIQ 2.5.2: Fewer Notifications, Better Numbers Every notification now goes through one place that decides what you actually get, so they stop arriving on top of each other. And several numbers the app was showing you were wrong in ways that changed the advice. What's new: - Frost and freeze warnings come through Focus and Do Not Disturb. This has never worked before and it is the most important change here. - One system decides every notification. Several parts of the app used to schedule independently and nothing counted the total. - A daily limit, with two exceptions that are never limited: frost and freeze warnings, and watering times you set yourself. - Several watering plans due at the same time now arrive as one message rather than one per plant. - Only urgent things interrupt. Rain notices, the weekly brief and check-in reminders make no sound and do not wake your screen. - Watering reminders state the appointment you set and nothing more, with no claims about your soil in a message written two weeks earlier. - When the ground is already wet, the reminder still arrives at the time you chose and tells you that you can skip it. - Watering plan cards show each scheduled time, which are done and which are outstanding. Fixes and improvements: - Soil temperature was wrong at elevation. The correction was applied to the main Today reading and nowhere else, so the widget, the watch and every planting recommendation ran up to 8°F too warm. Corrected everywhere. - Wet ground was being called saturated. Anything above field capacity was reported that way, which is just what soil looks like after rain, and it blocked crops and warned about waterlogging on ground that was draining normally. - PlantAI could empty itself and the soil health score could go blank, with no way to recover until the next data fetch. - The soil health score could read 0 and Critical while conditions were ideal. When it genuinely cannot be calculated it now says so. - A watering plan set to twice a day was marked done for the whole day after a single watering. - The soil timing insight said the same thing every day all summer, and recommended corn and soybean planting regardless of what you grow. Stop Guessing. Plant by Soil.

SoilIQ 2.5.1: Accuracy and Reliability This release is about being right. Every change below either corrects something the app was telling you, or makes sure that what you saved stays saved. What's new: - Honest answers in PlantAI: crops that are not started from seed no longer show a planting readiness verdict that never applied to them. Where soil temperature is not the deciding factor, SoilIQ says so - Right depth, right crop: planting readiness is judged at the depth that matters for each crop, not the depth you happen to be viewing. A shallow-sown crop and a deep-sown crop no longer share a verdict - Your Data now lives in Settings under About, where you would look for it - Data export includes your saved calculations, and the export summary describes exactly what is in the file Fixes and improvements: - Fixed a crash that could occur when opening a saved calculation - Lawn Profile changes now save reliably. A change could previously be reported as saved without being written - Soil texture is read fresh for each location instead of carrying over from the last place you viewed, which affected watering and moisture guidance - What's New shows the notes for the version you just installed, and no longer appears the first time you open the app - Reliability improvements to how your information is loaded and saved Stop Guessing. Plant by Soil.

SoilIQ 2.5.0: Soil Aware Watering Watering advice now reads your actual soil. The same moisture reading means very different things in sand and in clay, so SoilIQ measures against your own soil's wilting point and field capacity instead of a single fixed number. What's new: - Soil aware moisture: dry, drying, adequate and saturated are now judged against your soil type, not a universal threshold - Saturated soil is never told to water. When the root zone is holding all it can, SoilIQ says so and tells you to wait for it to drain - One morning message: the daily brief owns the morning, so notifications no longer arrive on top of each other - True depths: readings at 2, 6 and 21 inches are calculated to exactly those depths - Water demand, not just rainfall: forecast rain is weighed against evapotranspiration and weighted by probability, so a 10 percent chance is no longer banked as rain - Crops and seeding now judge wetness the same way the rest of the app does - Notification diagnostics: long press the version number in Settings to see every scheduled notification, with times and text Fixes and improvements: - Root zone moisture now resolves reliably across weather models and regions - The Today tab reads from one computation, so the hero, the moisture chip and Today's Lawn Read cannot disagree - Soil temperature colour now reflects temperature, never moisture - Notifications are composed fresh each day and never repeat old advice - Soil Profile bars match the number beside them on one fixed scale - Watering advice and the moisture reading go quiet when data is missing, rather than showing a substituted number - Additional layout, copy and reliability improvements Stop Guessing.
