User Reviews for Veggie Garden Planner

Some Limited Herbs and Vegetables, otherwise great App!!

The app is easy to use and allows you to build your plots with names. Also, you can add vegetables and herbs, but you need to research seeding, transplant, and harvest time along with sun, water, and if it depletes nutrients.One very important features is what it grows well with and what should be avoided. In the plot view as you drag and drop veggies and herbs onto the plot, a heart or lightening bolt show up, allowing you to reposition the plant. After you build your list for “My Vegetables “ a calendar view can be selected for all your seeding and planting dates.Basil, Chives, Dill, Rosemary, Parsley, Sage, Thyme are the only Herbs included. Oregano, Shallot, and Scallions are not included, but you can add them.I bought both the premium versions as I’m planting a combination of 27 vegetables and herbs in three raised beds, a herb garden, and ten grow bags. This app is great!I would like to share or sync with my iPad and iPhone.

SO much potential

I pay for this app because it’s only three dollars and some thing a year. The main downside to this app the limited amount of vegetables would be nice to expand the number of plants already in the system but it is nice to be able to add any plants you want. it would be nice for your information to be cross platform as in transferring data from different devices on iCloud so you can access your garden on multiple devices. The calendar and garden planner I would say my most used parts of the app.

Has lots of potential

But the list of vegetables (and fruits) available in the app is very small, especially when you have to pay $1.99 to access the full list. I can’t add winter squash, summer, squash, pickling cucumbers, corn, cantaloupe, cabbage, collard greens, mesculin mix, tarragon, lavender, and different tomato, pepper, eggplant, potato, and onion varieties.I also can’t resize individual plant footprints in the patch plan section, and there’s no way to label the custom plant option they give you (although you can resize that, go figure). One other thing that makes the app annoying to use is that it’s incredibly difficult to actually drag and drop a plant from the menu at the top of the patch plan section. Usually when you think you’ve tapped on the right plant the menu just starts scrolling left and right instead. Glad I only spent $1.99 on this section (separate from the other $1.99 for the list).

Can be improved

The overall idea of how this app is suppose to work is sound but it needs some improvements. Although there is a menu to sort your veggies, it doesn’t work. The veggie list doesn’t contain some commonly grown varieties such as leaf lettuce, snow peas, bush beans and Lima beans. You have to add them as custom veggies. The attributes for the custom veggies is written in German. It allows you to add the same veggie to your list twice without asking if that is what you want to do. You can’t group part of your garden and move it to another location in the plot planner. There is no undo button in the plot planner. And finally this app was advertised as being free but you have to buy access to all the veggies and the plot planner. Make these improvements and you have a great app.

Not free, lacks features

Free to download, but costs $3.99 to use it. I went ahead and paid because I really like how the app lets you add your plants in the garden and tells you if they are good together or not, and includes the size of the plant. One thing it is lacking, though, is the capability to have multiple separate gardens. You can only have one garden. In real life, I’d like to make boxed gardens so that I can group together the plants that do well together. Or at least if they added a feature to draw a box inside the garden. Another thing I would like to see them add is a chart that shows which plants prefer shade and which prefer sun, or incorporate it into the garden layout plan. (I did see that you can sort your veggies according to “light needs” which does help.)Also add more plants and flowers! Cantaloupe, summer squash, cherry tomatoes, cilantro are a few plants not included. But they do have the option to add custom veggies, which is nice.Add those features or lower the price and then I’ll give it 5 stars.I would like to add that the reason I was looking for an app like this where I could plan the layout of my garden without thinking about it and without knowing all the plant information is because I am new to gardening and have no clue what I am doing and I did not want to take the time to search out every single plant. The more the app does for me, the better.

Works well for me

I’ve been using this app for several years. I’ve got the full package, and use it to plan my layouts every spring. Let me tell you that I’ve never experienced any of the issues a lot of you are complaining about. It’s all in English. I’ve never seen this German that some are complaining about. You can add plants not on the list, and have multiple varieties of the same plants. There’s a whole lot more that everyone is complaining about that are user issues, not software issues. The only issue I’ve seen that I can understand why some people are complaining about is not being able change the zone. I happen to live in 7b, so it applies to me. But there’s tons of potential users that live outside of 7-8. Surely that’s not rocket science to add it.

So much potential!!!

I love the look of this app, I like the varieties of vegetation it offers in the library and the “list” feature that lets you drag and drop the veggies you want. However I’m a raised beds grower. I need to be able to add more than one garden. There’s another ap called “planter” that lets you have multiple beds but the look of the ap isn’t as good as this one however, that ap does have MUCH more info on the plants. Tells you how to grow them, when to plant them how to water companion plants, combative plants, possible pests and diseases etc all right there in the info sheet for each plant. You don’t have to go to a separate “neighbor” window like in this ap. Although I do like the little heart that appears when you place stuff near each other on this ap. Please please PLEASE take a look at the features in the “planter” ap and bring them to this one! I hate having to plan my garden on this ap and then jump over to the other ap whenever I need to know how to manage a plant. 1. This ap needs info cards like they have on the “planter” ap2. This app NEEDS raised bed compatibility!!! I have 4 (4x4) raised beads, I need to be able to have 4 (4x4) gardens to work with in this ap.

Needs improvements

Lovely idea. There are a couple things that need to be improved . The language in the section to add your own plants is not in English and not in Spanish. I’m guessing German. The plants preinstalled are general and not correct for companion planting like... kale and onions are friends, this app says neutral, but then on the planner is shows up as not compatible. Also it would be nice for the planner to populate the best place to put the plants. I thought I would enter that I have 72 tomato plants and 28 kale and 52 cucumbers, then the app would make a suggestion According to the information on hand. Nope. You definitely have to plan it just like in paper. I also hope we can change the zone in future updates. I’m in zone 5, so parts of the app are not useful for me. Otherwise great concept.

More please

I think this is a great concept but I can’t finish with over half of the veggies and herbs I plan on planting missing. I realize I have the same complaint as most but really would love to see more varieties added. More squashes, okra, peppers etc. It would be neat to see suggestions for companion flowers as well. As for the climate, yes it would be nice to be able to choose a region and have more accurate information. If it were me I would just remove that part of the app until it could be improved. I would also have to agree with others that being able to edit the size of the beds would be nice. It took me forever to finally figure out how to at least delete one so I could fix it. Additionally it would be cool to be able to map out multiple beds in one screen to see the bigger picture. Also maybe a way to be able to see which plants and how many you’ve used from your list and which ones are left. Again this product seems like it has potential, just isn’t there yet.

Lack-luster App, Read this before purchase.

**READ BEFORE PURCHASE** This app has potential but it seems as if the developers just threw it together. First off, when you download and pay for the app, you have to pay for different aspects of the app or else it will be useless. This seems like a sneaky way of getting customers to pay more for the app, multiple times. There is only a small list of vegetables to choose from and the developers curiously omitted some popular vegetables. You can add plants but you have to do your own research to add them which kind of defeats the purpose. Additionally, for some reason parts of the app are in German! You can create your own garden bed but it must be perfectly square. If you have a different shaped bed, you cannot use the plotting feature. When plotting the plants, the type of plant is in such a small font that you cannot see it without zooming in. This is annoying when trying to see the big picture. Often times when zooming or scrolling through the plot you end up accidentally moving the plants around. You cannot scroll all the way down either, the bottom of the screen is cut-off which is very frustrating. The only positive is the ability to quickly figure out companion plants. If I had to do it again I would definitely not purchase I wish I read the comments before. Save your money until they put some effort into the app but it doesn’t seem likely because the same complaints have been present for years.
