Beautiful app. Would be an excellent app for a complete beginner. However, it’s severely lacking and not usable for more advanced gardeners who grow multiple varieties of the same plant because there’s no label. For companion planting, you wouldn’t use a whole square foot for a marigold for example. It would be planted in the same square foot as a vegetable. Same with root vegetables like carrots. So the app should allow overlapping or multiple plants in the same grid. There’s no month by month planning for spring crop, summer crop, and fall crop for the same spot. I currently pay $29/year to use Growveg and would gladly switch to this app when it’s able to plan month by month and keep track of previous years for crop rotation. Mainly because Growveg is a desktop application and I want something more mobile.

I’m excited to use this app this year as I get set up with a new garden. However, there are a few things that would be really helpful and would make this app better. First, it would be nice if it gave spacial recommendations. For example, plant broccoli 18”-24” apart. I have to keep jumping over to google. Second, if you do have a plant that takes up more space than “1 square” I wish you could manually adjust the squares. So I could combine 2-3 squares and put 1 broccoli to better show how my plants are spaced. Side note, are the squares supposed to be “1 square foot?” As I said, I still think this app will be really helpful, and I did pay for the year to see how it goes. If these features were added with continued improvements, I’d probably be a forever customer.

I like the relative simplicity of using this app. I especially like being able to drag and drop plants into a grid of my planting area to see how much room the need and also which plants do or do not get along with each other. One thing I’d like to see added is the germination time for seeds. Also, there is a glitch that allows some plants to appear implantable, which is ridiculous, of course. Yet, for some plants, the app indicates that most gardeners do not 1. start the plant indoors, 2. start the plant from transplants, or 3. start the plant by direct sowing. Those are all the possibilities, yet this app provides no guidance for any of those methods for certain plants. (I submitted a bug report, but never heard back, and the last time I checked, it hadn’t been fixed.)
