1. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   Deleted all my plants. Was working perfectly since I bought it but opened today and it deleted all of my plants.

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Badge bug. Got this app because Flora’s notification and badge count was rarely accurate. This worked for. Few weeks, long enough for me to pay for it. Now the badges don’t work so it’s basically worthless for me.

3. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Fine until it wasn't. I recently ran out of iCloud storage space and had to delete some data. I turned off iCloud permissions for this app and deleted its data thinking it would still be stored locally. When I opened the app today all my plants had been deleted. I only had five, so it didn't seem like a huge deal and I started adding them again, planning to leave a 3-star review questioning what exactly is preventing me choosing to only have my data stored locally (as there is no setting in the app for iCloud sync). I then discovered that there is now a limit to the number of plants you can add for free, and I could only have 4 out of my 5. So it's down to 1 star and I will be deleting the app! To be completely clear to the developer, I am not frustrated because there are in-app purchases, I am frustrated that something that was previously a free feature has now been paywalled. I really do appreciate that it's a small one-time purchase and not a subscription, and I am more than happy to pay an indie dev for an app that's functional and useful, but frankly I use the stock Reminders app on a daily basis anyway and an entire extra app that I can't be sure will save my data is not worth any amount of money just to keep track of less than half-a-dozen plants at a time. I will pay for premium features in a new app if they are clearly advertised as such, and I will pay for new premium features in an app I already use. I will not suddenly start paying for features I have already been using for years, even as a one-time purchase. (This didn't fit anywhere else: it really doesn't help that the library of notification messages is so limited. The humor is the main draw of the app in my opinion, but there is so little variation that it gets old pretty quick.)

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

   Major downfall. This app is great and I’ve used it to remind me when to water my collection of plants for over a year. The BIGGEST and most disappointing thing; my app has crashed twice and deleted all of my plants. The first time this happened I took the time to reupload all my plants and pictures. This happened again today. I decided there’s a better app out there Not a huge deal if you have 5 plants… just something to think about before you upload +100 plants.

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Perfect conceptually, but…. The app is PERFECT! Setup is amazing, format is beautiful, if you have four or less plants, this is for you! After that, it’s 3 dollars— NOT A LOT, I know, and I understand that the creator needs to earn off this and I respect it! I’m just someone who really doesn’t like paying for things I don’t have to. My props to the creator though for the design! It’s a beautiful app, like I said, and if I were a spender, I would 100% put the money in your unlock the rest of my plants, just not today! Keep creating though!!

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

   Needs more. The app is basic but clean UI and easy to use. It could improve by including reminders for plant food/fertilizer, and a second & third water notification if you miss a day (I always clear the notification when I’m at work and then forget when I get home). I like the cheeky notification messages but a lot of them just repeat, would like to see a bunch more variety.

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

   Good reminder- Limits Plants. When I first got this app years ago it was an unlimited number of plants (or at least more than I needed to set reminders for). Then it cut down to like 8. Then, when I opened the app today, it deleted my 6 plants I had saved in there from at least 2 years. And I couldn’t enter more than 4 new ones without having to buy the unlimited spots. It’s a cute, funny app, just been frustrating me.

8. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

   Good. Nice free app for water reminders. Should allow multiple photo saves to track progress of plants.

9. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

   Great reminders. Love the setup and reminders so far. I wish there were fertilizer reminders too so that I didn’t have to keep track of that.

10. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Easy, Fun, and Worth it. Love this app. I have 20 plants. The $3 cost is worth it. App syncs across your devices so you can easily keep track of the watering schedule. It’s fun to update the photos as the plants grow and bloom.

11. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Perfect App for Plant Lovers 🌿. I’ve been using the Plant Daddy app and it has been amazing 🤩. The interface is clean, beautiful, and very easy to use. It makes organizing and tracking my plants incredibly simple. I love how I can add details like scientific names, watering reminders, notes, and photos for each plant. It helps me stay consistent with care and really understand my collection better. My plant family is already at 18 plants 🌿 and this app has made managing them fun instead of overwhelming. Highly recommend it for anyone building or growing their plant collect

12. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Straightforward and great app. Highly recommend. You get reminders for watering, can make notes, and now there’s a calendar to show you when you’ve previously watered. Perfect!

13. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great. Just love the reminder. So now my plants will thrive. Thank you 😊

14. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    Super Convenient Watering App!. Great app that really helps me keep up with my watering and fertilizer, and I also love the queer app icons they are adorable :) 🏳️‍⚧️🖤

15. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Simple & clean. I have a variety of plants with a range of needs (indoor and out). This app is perfect for keeping track of who needs water and when. I can even add notes to keep track of each plant’s light requirements so i’m not constantly looking to google for each one everytime I move things around. Its a simple and direct app with a clean layout. LOVE it.

16. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Very Useful. The app is super helpful in keeping track of when I need to water each plant. I also think it’s cute that you can name each plant, add notes, and add photos. The one-time $2.99 it costs to log more than 4 (I think??) plants was so worth it.

17. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Exactly what I wanted. Exactly what I was looking for, do t gotta pay for anything, simple and easy to understand, no limits to the amount of plants I can have, it’s perfect

18. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great app. This is a good app to keep track of when to water plants, something I really struggled with. It’s also funny

19. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    Turned me into a plant person!. I always wanted to have house plants and have tried several times to start a collection, but was never able to care for them consistently. This simple app helped me to set a routine for watering and create a reference guide for each one. I went from killing everything to having 10 indoor plants. Thank you!

20. ★★★★★stable and reliable performance

    Does exactly what it needs to do.. I love a good app that does it’s stated job. Thanks for creating this!

21. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Perfectly Simple. This is a simple and straightforward app that makes caring for your plants easy. I like that you can add notes about each plant. I copy and paste information from plant care websites so I have each plant's light, water, soil, temperature, and fertilizer needs at my fingertips. Plant Daddy has made caring for my plants much easier and enjoyable.

22. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Also:. Besides working so well and looking so good, I really REALLY care that the app does not collect data. That drove my initial decision to select it.

23. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great app. Cool and beautiful app! Makes it easy to keep plants alive and well!

24. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Amazing! My first choice. Cute title amazing app perfect design my lil guys have never looked so cute

25. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Amazing!. The app is the perfect amount of simple. I tried out others plant apps and even though they came with detailed info about each plant, I didn’t really need that and there were way too many advertisements. My fav part is that you can customize the Plant Daddy app icon with the pride flag ✨🌿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌱🪴

26. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    My succulents stay succulent. Works as intended, my plants look great. I would love to see more updates in the future, such as a forum section for general plant advice or reminders for fertilizer but otherwise it’s great.

27. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    AMAZING. I LOVE this app! It helps me remember to water my flowers although I went to spray some of them and I accidentally sprayed lemon all purpose cleaner in my daisys instead of water😭

28. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Great app!. Love the app, really simple and straightforward. I would appreciate being able to see a gallery view, if that could be implemented :-)

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Best free app for plants!. I finally found an app to help me water my plants! No upgrades or sneaky money grabs! The developer does offer a feature to tip if you enjoy the app and I love that idea!

30. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    AMAZING!!. Truly a lifesaver with reminders bc i’m forgetful lol. The app is simple, easy to use, and a great aesthetic. I like the little “Notes” Section too bc it helps me remember which plants need misting as well and when to rotate the location :) One small thing (maybe it’s just my phone bc it’s old): when i press the “mark as watered” the cute 💦 emoji appears but then a few seconds later it goes back to “Mark as watered”. I think it would be great if it stayed the 💦 for the whole week or however long it said it needed to be watered for! Again just a suggestion, bc the app is already amazing as is!!!!
