Bonsai Album

New to bonsai but have found this app so useful, I particularly like having the photos to see progress. I use notes as the log as I didn’t realise it was there. It is a great app, thank you

I only just started using this app a month or so ago. I have found it extremely helpful in maintaining details and information for each tree. The latest update was good and made things easier for the user. I find recording details of pots a bit time consuming but the effort will be worth it in the end One modification I would like to suggest is to make "style" user adaptable. I live in the Southern Hemisphere and our styles don't always follow northern hemisphere dictates and it would be great to be able to be able to have styles that are relevant to us. Having just finished recording details of my pots, a couple of further suggestions. With pot shape suggest "other" with further dropdown to write own description With size of pot, suggest that you do similar to what you do in trees ie separate entries for width, depth and height Good work 👍👍👍

Bonsai album has some really good features to keep accurate records for your bonsai trees. A couple of features that would improve the functionality of this app include providing “watering” needs as an additional input for each tree in the same way it allows “fertilizer” requirements to be recorded per tree. Also the ability to include short videos in the photo section would allow the owner to record valuable “Sensei advice” when needed.

Really happy with this excellent app for organising all your Bonsai, and keeping track of them as changes are made. Wishlist for future updates: - Being able to edit the bonsai styles similar to the species list. - Being able to organise by plant family or genus - Have a different box for water needs /soil moisture requirements (some of them prefer to be left in a small tray of water while others need to dry out a bit before the next watering.

When I add to my notes I have trouble seeing what I have written when the page is over half full and the keyboard overlaps with previous notes on that page . Can you advise me on what I can do to g et over my problem .

This app is great for all your bonsai recording needs. I do think the photo features should be easier to move around once uploaded. So you can easily update the default photo for the Bonsai directory. After 25 years you are not going to want to see the very first photo of nursery stock you purchased as the one that draws your attention to the particular tree you are searching for in the directory. And it’s clunky having to delete older photos and re-upload them so that the latest photo is the directory one. Also losing any text you’ve added to that photo. Finally it would be great if you could set multiple reminders to your calendar for a single log entry. If I repot and style a tree, I’d like to set a 3 month reminder to remove the wire and a 1 year reminder to check for the need to repot. Fairly minor tweaks that would mean a 5 star rating in my opinion! Still very good value for the cost and the features as is! Thanks for a great app.

I found this app useful and easy to use for tracking my Bonsai plants. I use it on my iPad, iPhone as well as my computer. It also acts as my brag book. Thank you Andrew Nicolle for creating such a wonderful app.

A great app to log your precious bonsai collection and to maintain a record of your plant development. I have been using the app for about ten years from the very early version and it has gradually developed into a most handy tool Logging the development of any given tree from nursery stock to advanced bonsai is a rewarding experience to the keen bonsai enthusiast. Having a pictorial history accompanied by text and details such as type of pot, notes, source of material etc etc assists greatly in planning future direction for any given tree. If you are a keen bonsai artist then you need to seriously consider this app.

I find this app useful in recording my bonsai purchases and keeping track of what I do to them. I like being able to cross reference with the pots and ability to add photos.
