Album Orchidee

I have to do all the work

I really love the app and would give it 5 stars but there are missing orchid types in the watering choices, and no option to add them either, for example, Grammatophyllum and Cymbidium. Thank you for a very useful app.

Be sure to safe your results. I almost lost my entire collection except I found a backup. It was old but better than nothing.

For those of us who own multiple of the same species, a swipe left or right duplicate entry would make the app more efficient and useful. Having to re-enter the same data is time-consuming. Also, it would be nice if the vendor/acquired from created a database wheel to reduce typing the same vendor name. Lastly, there is not an option for Hanging Basket. Should be added in the same section as: Potted, Mounted, etc. Overall, a good pocket app for use when shopping at a show.

I was looking for an app to help me identify my orchids. This isn’t that. I wasted my money. Now I’m stuck with it I guess.

App is good to go. Been using it since 2019 and have no problems. Only thing can an update be added to where this is linked to a calendar. Only way to know when I need to water my plants is if I open the app. Linking it to my calendar would be more helpful for me.

I bought this app several months ago but haven’t really tried to use it until this past weekend. It’s been constantly crashing! I’m having to enter the data several times for each orchid! My iPad is relatively new and I recently downloaded the latest IOS version. The app is super glitchy and data entry is clunky.

A great phone app for the window hobbiest with a 1/2 dozen plants up to the serious grower with 100’s of orchids. Way too much detail to keep track of for every plant, but just use what features you like. Having up to two photos per plant stored in the app and not cluttering up your phone photo library is a great space saver. I’ve used the app over 5 years now.

Orchid Album is the only app on my iPad that has ever lost data. This indicates that it is a problem with the app. My iPad OS automatically updates, so any app problems that occur during a system update are not noticeable until it’s too late, and data is already gone. Apple does not provide customer service for third-party apps with data stored in iCloud. Considering the amount of information I stored in Orchid Album, I don’t find it reliable enough for an iPad that I use instead of a computer. For a permanent record, use Excel on a laptop — don’t waste time using this unreliable app. Orchid Album instructions should say ‘Do not use this app as your only record. Neither Apple nor developer support data retrieval in case of app failure.’

Does not sync from one device to another. I have been using this app for years. I was confused because I set up the sync for my iPad and iPhone and thought it was working. I finally realized it was not updating both devices. Now I have some in my phone that are not on my iPad and vise versa. What a pain. Also, it does not have a safety feature to edit. It is easy to accidentally delete or change orchid details. I think it was set up nice but this app has not been maintained.
