1. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   Scam. The app only works half of the time. I canceled my free trial before the date it said and now I am still being charged $40 for using the app that literally doesn’t work. There are so many incorrect identifications and the garden planner aspect only allows you to pick from like 5 veggies. It needs so much work before it will ever be worth the $40 they are charging me.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   The reviews have to be fake. This app is terrible. It literally can’t identify any varieties, it never knows when it’s actually rained well enough and constantly tells me I need to water. The final straw was the fact we got 4 inches of rain last night and the app is harassing me to water my plants and saying rainfall was light. No, the city is flooding…. If anything they are water logged. It also doesn’t actually identify any disease or problems, just gives you a list and nonorganic ways to help it.

3. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Unhappy with results and cost. I saw many good things about the grow it app before subscribing unfortunately, I feel I’ve made a mistake. If I could figure out how to get refunded I would and unsubscribe. The garden plants I’ve taken pictures of for help in caring for my plants were all detected incorrectly and if I asked for a plant to be diagnosed it shared info on the wrong plant or give details that didn’t fit the description of the plant I took a picture of. Ex: My Avacado tree (seedling) with no leaves and still only a seed. After taking the pictures I was told it was dried up with dried leaves but my seed hasn’t grown any leaves for leaves to even be detected. The seeding is sitting in wet soil clearly seen in the image and the seed is green. Maybe It’s not so user friendly, I hope that’s the case but either way I’m disappointed that spent money for help and I’m just as frustrated.

   It can be a lot better. Accidentally bought the year & the App doesn’t really have anything useful.. don’t waste your time or money.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Honest review. It’s not very good, UI is okay but function is bad.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not helpful. As a beginner gardener it doesn’t provide any guidance

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Free version. Free version isn’t allowing me to add more plants

8. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   Took my money after I cancelled subscription. Canceled their free trial subscription three days before it would’ve renewed and yet they still charged me $42.79 that I now had to go through the entire process of calling Apple to refund in my phone. It literally said subscription has been canceled and yet they still proceeded to charge my PayPal account. Extremely unprofessional would not ever use their app again. I’m extremely disappointed. They have now ruined my checking account for the next five days as I wait for this money to come back would not recommend absolutely would not recommend this is one of the most unprofessional things I’ve ever seen. You had someone who canceled and got confirmation. They canceled your subscription service and yet you continued to charge them. That is quite literally fraud.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   DONT SIGN UP FOR SUBSCRIPTION. They say they will notify you before charging and they do NOT. They charged my 45$ for an app..

10. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Weather not right. Weather not right. Automatic watering not working

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Super basic for the price. Not sure why I paid so much for this.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Do not download. Better apps out there.. Wouldn’t use this app.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Just meh. If you just want to log pictures that about all the free version does. I was hoping for problem solving for sick plants

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Rip off!!. Paid the exorbitant price of $39.99 for the subscription (the app won’t even let you see what it’s about without it) and the app won’t even open. Complete waste of money!

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Money Hungry Buisness. If you’re going to make an app and make it completely unusable to the masses of middle class American’s by charging an arm and a leg for something you can write on a piece of paper makes your app even more useless. Not being able to open a single tab without your greedy messages made me delete the app immediately. The app also makes it difficult to delete my account. If you’re going to charge for things you should at least make sure your app functions. Paper is cheaper than this cookie cutter copy cat expensive app with no real purpose.

16. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Free Trial Lies. Don't offer a 7 day free trial to new customers if you're still going to charge immediately after signing up for the free trail. It asked if I wanted to start a free trial, then after the 7 days it would charge me $39.99. When I selected the option it charged my card $19.99. Why? That is very misleading and I want my money back.

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not Happy. I got this app to help with my grow season. I found it un useable and canceled the subscription before the free trail and they still charged me. Deleted the app but still paid for the year

18. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Terrible. I got the free trial and tried to cancel a day before but they ended up charging me a day early and will not refund my money! Terrible customer service and not worth the money!

19. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    On 1 garden bed type. It doesn’t give depth recommendations for raised beds or pots and doesn’t allow for round, broken up, or awkwardly shaped beds.

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not worth $40 a year. Not worth it to me

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Nope. Can’t use it without paying.

22. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Unacceptable. I do not write reviews unless I am amazed by an app. I will say I am amazed at the amount of frustration I have experienced with this app. I downloaded in hopes to use it and wasn’t impressed. So I cancelled my trial and deleted the app. Days later I am being charged for an app I do not even have. I have tried to find ways to get some type of help or support with the matter and am somehow weeks later still dealing with this mess. I am frustrated at the fact I’m still being charged $39.99 for an app I do not even have. I do not have even use nor benefit from. Make sure you take precautions and make a very quick decision before you get stuck dealing with a complete disaster like the one I am currently dealing with.

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Hidden by a payment wall. Honestly would be great if they could just help plan without extorting for money. Just a money grab app.

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Pay to use. Let me set it all up just to charge a monthly fee.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    2026. First year for me!

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not as advertised. Doesn’t give any real information

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Unfortunately. Why pay wall it for a subscription cost, it’s only worth like 2$ period (your phone can do anything this app can do with the app). and why isn’t it just a wiki of plant knowledge it’s empty and lack luster for sure my region.

28. ★★★★★recognition misses on the most common plants

    Poor Quality. This app pops up random reminders in the winter, (fertilize the cabbage in December?) absolutely does not give proper reminders during the growing season and is missing many common plants and vegetables. The reminders to water and fertilize are seemingly random and this app does NOT account tor local rain as advertised. This app does not work as advertised and it was a waste of money and time.

29. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Refund. Doesn’t work properly and it’s very confusing. It doesn’t save my garden layout as well

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Useless. Doesn’t really tell you what’s wrong with a plant. Most of what I got was you’re over watering or under watering. Wouldn’t recommend
