When To Plant App Reviews

Good app but not perfect

Definitely worth $1.99 but could use some updates. "plants by month" needs to be able to be filtered by favorite plants, not every plant in the data base. Whats the use of having favorites if not to weed out the excess and be able to focus on what you want or have growing? Or be able to sort favorites by planing time, etc.

When to plant

Cant find a key for the color bars that tell when to plant. What does blue mean? Same for yellow and green.

Dont waste your money

This is a very lame and basic app. It is telling me that I can actually plant apple trees outside right now, even though the ground is totally frozen and covered in snow here in NH. It does not even include onions and has only a smattering of the vegetables I typically plant. Also, it goes by the month, not the week. I know I can plant in May and June, but what week? I expected a lot more detail from this. If you are already a gardener, you dont need this app and if youre a beginner, it could clearly steer you wrong.

Needs a view favorites by month feature

Everyone has their favorite things to plant. The "what to plant now" feature shows every plant in the app rather than allowing me to filter only my favorites. Please add this feature to future releases. I like the info and tips about each plant but wished there was more in depth info. It would be simple data entry to add this info and would make this app more valuable.

Filter by month not working!

I can get a list anywhere!

Limited App

This app does not give the option to change zip codes. The maps do not even show Hawaii even though I put an Hawaiian zip code in. Glad I didnt pay more than $1.99.

Very good. Needs a couple things.

This app has really helped me with my garden planning in South Florida. Id like to see a couple of items added to make it even better. First, the ability to change the zip code for the area your growing in. Second, a companion planting page or section would be great.

Helpful and easy!

I love this little app! Its easy to understand for a novice gardener and still a helpful reminder for experienced ones. Ive recommended it to several friends.

Needs milkweed varieties!

Good app. Take a while to load sometimes and it would be great if it had milkweed varieties for monarch butterfly raising!

Great info but buggy

There is a lot of great info here. However, the app is buggy. First/last frost dates were incorrect for my area, which causes incorrect planting dates. Although frost dates can be adjusted in app settings, the dates change back to the incorrect ones every time the app is closed and re-opened. Disabling location services in the Privacy menu fixes this on the iPhone version, but the iPad version provides no way to disable location services. Also, the app takes forever to open on the iPad. A potentially very useful app that is marred by annoying interface issues.

not for my area

It LOOKS like a great app but I cant use it because it doesnt support my zip code AT ALL. It goes to where the climate is COMPLETELY different! :(

Buggy app

Not worth the cost. Takes too long to load on my iPad. As other reviewers mentioned, it goes to an irrelevant area when I enter my own zip code. The app freezes up on one of the pages. Good idea for an app but useless at this point.
