Bonsai Album

I like it lots!

If your a serious bonsai enthusiast, I'm sure this is what you want. The $$ is well worth the cost!

This app is great; it’s simple to use and allows you to track all sorts of things. The simplicity of the design makes it an efficient tool. The developer is also very responsive. There was a bug that was causing problems and he was quick to acknowledge the bug and resolve it.

Does everything I need it to do to track my trees and pots. Love being able to quickly and easily see the progression photos of each individual tree. When a glitch has happened developer has been super responsive. Great that you can buy once and install on both iphone and ipad and sync. Records are always at hand, even when I’m away from home.

This is a great program. No more 3x5 note cards; no more separate photos. It’s all in one program. Write up your actions for future reference; make calendar events for future action. Track your trees, your pots, and your actions. Just wish they had option to record stands, viewing stones, or something that you have a further interest in. Unbelievable program for the price.

This program allows any bonsai enthusiast, the ability to catalog trees, pots and other bonsai accessories in a convenient accessible file. Saves a lot of time and effort!

An excellent app for keeping track of the development of my trees. I use it almost daily but especially when I repot, trim and/or wire. It is very useful to know how my trees change over time. And a photograph doesn’t lie. A great recording app!

App doesn’t let me import/export from existing database. More importantly, it freezes up when I try to add new bonsai. Wish I could get a refund!!

This app lets you track pretty much everything imaginable for bonsai. It has preloaded categories to track (fertilized, repotted, etc.) and provides the option to add your own custom categories. The photo tracking is intuitive, though I haven’t found a way to sort photos by date to track progress over time. (You can link photos to your log, so it’s possible to do. I just don’t know a way to sort in photo view other than manually.) As a database, this app is awesome. When you update anything, everything linked is updated. So if you change the name of a pot, the app automatically updates the bonsai linked to that pot. Basically, the app “just works.” The only thing I might add is a way to create notes or logs on a global scale. For instance, I’d like a way to create one note that I fertilized all trees of a species on the same date and have the log available under each tree. This isn’t a dealbreaker to me though — bonsai is a slow, meticulous journey, and each plant demands its own care. Perhaps it’s best to take 30 seconds and write a journal entry for every tree, every time. :) Disclaimer: I’m just beginning my bonsai journey. So there may be a formal method of journaling that I’m not aware of. However, this app is well-organized as a database app, and fits my needs perfectly.

Having a hard time saving my tees in this app. I have 52 trees but for some reason cannot save the info. The save at the upper right of the iPad doesn’t work.
