Planta: Complete Plant Care

I basically paid for this app only because I needed to use dr. Planta - to help me with diagnosis of my ill plants. And this does not work at all!

I am a proud Planta premium user and I love this app. It has so much potential so I hope that the developers will keep going and create the ultimate plant helper. I often write the ideas to support and also have the beta version on and I must say that I am very happy with the progress and how they take care of the application. I will keep the remaining one star until the potential will be fulfilled. Thank you very much for your work.

I love this app and my plants would be dead without this app.

It was really great app which I liked to use. But after like 4 updates it’s terrible. It’s lagging and overall not working well.

I highly don’t recommend this app!! It almost killed all my plants.

Great app! Suggestion: It would be nice to have option to share the plant watering schedule, etc. with my partner (who lives in the same apartment). Keep up the good work!

This app is completely useless. It’s clear why they don’t offer a free or monthly subscription—once users try it, they likely wouldn’t renew. Instead, they lock you into a 1-year subscription, relying on marketing and questionable reviews to attract new customers. The plant identification system is inaccurate about 60% of the time, and the diagnoses are mostly generic advice like lack of light, water, or spider mites. Overall, don’t waste your money on this app.

I have been using Planta for a good while now & overall ❤️ the concept of having an app keep me on track w/ taking care of my plants as my collection grew. I’ve shared with friends how much I love the Planta app! However, over the time Ive been using it, I have definitely lost some plants & I believe there’s a likelihood that it’s bcz of the bugs in planta - like not updating schedules when changes are made by the app user. If I decide to skip an action such as watering cz it appears my plant doesn’t need to be watered yet, I’m no longer confident that the app actually recalculates when the plant will need to be watered or updates based on my change. Sometimes it feels like I’m watering & fertilizing so often that it’s just not making sense & I think that’s due to that issue. The other big concern I have with planta is that when I have had a sick plant, I found the Dr. Plants advice to be so contradictory that I was just left not knowing what the heck to do. It’s just not helpful to be told 2 different issues on the opposite end of the spectrum are causing your plant to be sick ( I.e. over/under watering for example). Every time I go through the process of using Dr. Planta I come away feeling more confused than when I started but frankly, I often find the same to be true of Internet advice about plants. I recently moved a plant from soil to water & Planta definitely isn’t reading that, bcz it continues to offer a watering schedule. Overall, I would say that when I chose to pay for the app, I wanted something that would do a lot of the thinking for me, and I could trust that it was giving me the proper advice. I now think that expectation was unrealistic.

Edit: Only get it if you can’t remember to water plants, but even then it wasn’t getting them right after all anyways. My solution was a soil moisture meter! It’s a good app! But I don’t see much more added value in paying. Also to add, their recommendations with the ‘curing plants’ can sometimes be: you are either overwatering or under watering this plant. So, not the greatest.
