iGarden USA - Gardening Helper

Nicely done, and great potential, but not quite there yet. 1st vegetable I looked up was corn, and it wasn't listed. I would also like to have the vegetables listed by name (as they are) but ALSO by starting dates.

The seeds are very generic, which is fine, because you want to add your own info from your seed packets anyway. That's where the problem lies. You have to enter all the values it asks for or it won't go any further. It asks for min. and opt. germination temperature, which I have yet to see on a seed package. Most go by frost date, which this app doesn't indicate. I want to know how many weeks before or after the frost date to plant. It also asks for soil ph which isn't on most packages. You can't add plants in the future. If you make a list of your own plants in "my garden" the date indicates the day you added to the list, not the actual date you plan to plant. I don't see how this app is useful for planning. It's probably good for journalling as you go, but not planning.

This app is not good at all. I knew from screen one it wasn’t going to be worth downloading even if it had been free. I am in zone 10a and it keeps putting me in zone 9. That’s literally the foundation of gardening. Do not pay for this!

Not perfect but workable. The more I work with it the better it gets, I like the aspect that you can add things to the database and modify them.

The structure is there but not much data base. A fraction of what it should be for the price. I took a chance and bought this. The downfall of apps. You never know really what your getting. They make you make your own data base so you do the work of filling it out. Looks like they also abandoned this app as the last update was a year ago. Shame. Don't waste your money.

Just downloaded the iGarden and it looks like a very good start. The main problem with this program for me is it doesn't let me preplan my vegetable garden seeds. When I select a vegetable it just says I've planted them and starts a timer for harvest. It would be nice to preplan what I'm going to plant then check a tab or something to show it was then planted.

It is an ok app! I recently downloaded Vegetable Tree - Gardening Guide and that app is the best. Go and download that it has awesome reviews and excellent customer support!

Awesome app, but it won't let me tap the "add as plant" button, only the one about it, "add as seed"...makes the app unusable for me. And the climate zone map doesn't match what the app says my zip code is. I'm guessing it's an inaccurate map and whatever electronic database the app uses is more correct, but still. Please fix!

This is a simple app. I like that it tracks my plants and seeds progress. I also like that it directs you to a web page if you need help. If you want to know about tomatoes and you click the web page, it takes you right to it! It has helped me a lot in finding how to rid my garden of squash bugs!!

Certainly not worth $5. Not even worth it if it's free, it doesn't do much besides show the weather. For a paid app, I expected to be able to scan in the codes at least. But no, I couldn't even get it to show the plants in the pre-supplied plant list that I had saved to show up in the MY garden tab. Says it will show pests and remedies for individual plants, I never saw it do anything like that.
