An editorial reading of the saved reviews

An app with a good idea for personalized care scheduling that degraded after a tripled price hike and sync failures: collections reset to zero, schedules shift on their own, and care advice does not work for non-standard climates like Arizona. AI diagnostics are superficial.

What people use it for

Users in temperate climates with basic houseplant species

What reviews praise

When the app runs stably, managing a large collection's care schedule is convenient and clear.

What reviews complain about

Watering schedule does not adapt to climate or pot size and shifts for no apparent reason after updates.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

I love this app, all except one major gap. I live in Arizona and the temperatures during much of the year are much higher than the top range in the app. Therefore the schedule for watering isn't accurate as calculated by the app. Everything has to be manually adjusted. Also many desert plants are not even in the database.

I remember when this app had a human review plant questions, and issues when submitted. Now it's AI only. Even when you submit something using the plant health feature it's strangely tells you it's reviewed by 'Kate.' I'm guessing Kate is AI generated? A bit confusing to mislead people that a human is behind it.
