Developer response was that they use 50 climate (whatever that is) and it’s more accurate… yet it wasn’t at all accurate for me. Be aware and vigilant so your crops aren’t susceptible because of lack of proper information. Won’t be re-downloading this app or recommending it to anyone. While I can’t state anything regarding actual use as I deleted this before I input anything, I can state it is likely not accurate. I notified that their system did not have appropriate growing zones, and in an email returned, I got a slightly rude response that included they do not in fact actually utilize growing zones for anything. This is a disservice to anyone trying to take growing seriously, as our zones are vitally important in determining species, varieties, and frost expectations. If you’re just doing this for fun, so be it. But this app is not for anyone trying to truly plan. Plans involve accurate information and people can and do fail when not using accurate and thorough information. I wanted to utilize this app before deleting but can’t bring myself to promote something whose developers refuse to use constructive criticism to improve.

I was really enjoying the app. I had my 2022 garden fully planned and had just started my first round of seeds when the developers rolled out an update. With this update, they promised some really nice features but I have been unable to use them. When I open the app, every screen is a loading screen. A circle just spins and spins and spins and I can no longer access my garden plans. I guess it’s my fault for not having them written down somewhere else as a backup, and relying too heavily on an app, but it’s totally screwed up the timing on my entire garden. I have updated my own phone, and have done every new update on this app since they did the initial update, hoping for a bug fix, but to no avail. I have lost all of my data and the ideal dates for planting specific seeds are gone. I am devastated that I will have to start from scratch with another app, and I know for certain I am already behind on planting some of my seeds.

I’ve used this to plan out my garden for a few years now and every year in the spring it completely wipes my garden plan clean and won’t even load the screen to allow me to plan out a new garden. Every winter it works great but whether the server gets overloaded in spring or what, it’s unusable come planting time. It will continue to send you reminders of what to plant but good luck getting it to actually load so you can view the planting calendar. Best advise is to plan your garden out in the winter using it and then make paper notes of when to plant everything so you’re not left high and dry come spring.
