Visit to Wisley
I recently visited the beautiful RHS Wisley for the first time last travelling back from Southampton. I was very impressed with the buildings, Gardens, cafe & garden centre, in particular there with a number of staff that stood out for me, inter alia. Izzy L - I was welcomed at the reception with information and a smile, thank you. Penelope - I enjoyed accessing the Laboratory where I enjoyed the Townsend room and talking to Penelope, thank you. Garden centre staff, Steven, Daniel (Dan), Ruth & Sam N were very helpful whilst I was buying 3 beautiful ceramic pots and plants and advising on the micro-drip system, thank you
So Clunky
Just awful. Some screens don’t fit on an iPhone, took three tries just to subscribe even though my bank approved it, lots of fluff but couldn’t sctually do what I wanted so cancelled a years subscription
Notes
It would be very helpful if you could alter the date of a note. You don’t always have time to add notes on the day you pot on, prune or photograph a plant
False mac compatibility
Being on the Apple app store in the first place would imply that the app is compatible with Apple devices. However, going onto it on an unaltered (relevant for later) Mac, will result in it reporting that the Mac is "rooted", which is purely an android term, that if it was applied to a Mac would imply that the Mac's OS was tampered with/edited, which it hasn't been.
It’s ok
Very good at identifying actual plants, but does not let you know what weeds are (wife has a different app and told her is simple terms that some seedlings were weeds and not what we planted, for instance this app said it was spinach 😂). It’s average app but definitely not worth the price.
New garden
Having a large garden in a new county this app has been invaluable at helping me identify plants and understand how to nurture this beautiful place
£££££
Nothing to say if it is free or not until one is well into the signing up and personal information, then it is suddenly sprung on you. My time would have been better spent in the garden.
New member
What a lot there is in this app. It’s going to take me some time to figure out some of the sections. I like the idea of building up my houseplant and garden plant collection. It looks as if it could be very helpful to become a member of a big community.
not clear enough
Was looking for advice that is precise with reminders built in so I prune, feed, etc. my garden plants. I found the advice such as pruning imprecise as must be auto generated. For example they gave both options to prune an evergreen and deciduous hedge together. It should just define what to do and when to do it with an option to add into a calendar. Will wait until more precise as I can google this info.
Stops music playing
Launching the app immediately stops audio from any app like Music or BBC Sounds playing. Unnecessary and a bit annoying.
Enquiry
Not so good got general questions 🫤
Not free
It is promoted is a free app but you can’t even try it without putting in your payment details. Not reasonable
Glitchy
I was really excited to get this app - it has all of the features I think I’ll need in one place. There are so many glitches however. Whenever I use the AI tool it crashes and “My Garden” often shows as empty even though I’ve added current plants and wish list plants. I then add them again and the other appear. Frustrating. I’d really like it to work but looks like I’ll have to cancel before my free trial ends
Good but a money grab
Why has everything got to cost so much. Seek is better in my opinion.
Great easy to use website
Used this app a while ago for planning my garden. I’ve moved now and need to do it again. Much improved UI and ease of use. Lovely image and far easier to use now
Waste of time.
Full of pop ups and data gathering just to identify plants.
Plant ID has changed
Since the plant id layout has changed I cannot get a photograph identified.
Unreliable
More and more often I find it won’t let me log in or it becomes stuck in the loading screen which isn’t good enough for an app I’m paying for
RHS APP
Very helpful tips for garden newbies. Useful for seasoned gardeners with the month tasks
Cost
No mention of cost until you sign up to an account (which you have to do) and then once they have all your details you’re asked for payment. Sneaky. Not for me if that’s how they operate.
Dubious
Just bought on trial and tried the plant ID part using photos of plants in my garden and the recognition is very poor.
App
I love this app but I think that everything should be free
Pay to use
Only after you register to use the app do you then get told to pay.
Really handy
But… I’m struggling to see what the difference is between a ‘grow supporter’ subscription and a ‘plant and garden care’ subscription. The website doesn’t clarify
Great App
Loving the identifier and the way you can organise
Kimbo65
Misleading - it’s not a free app
Problem with plant identifier
I like the available features on this app and the content is good. I’d be happy to pay for a subscription except for the fact that the plant identifier function crashes almost every time I try to use it. When it has worked it’s been accurate and helpful but this seems to be only about 10% of the time.
Perfect for identifying plants:
Great App
Cant access app
Wont let me put in a password when signing up. Cant even access the app
Good but could be better
You can only save one of each type of plant to your garden area on the app, this means when you want to journal / record activity you cant journal for a specific plant if you have multiple of them ☹️ AI identifier is a bit hit and miss. Feel this app should be part of RHS membership and not carry a separate annual fee 😡
Gardening Assistant
I am new to gardening and I discovered this app. I have found it easy to use and a fantastic resource for learning about my plants and garden.
Not working
Paid a month ago, it keeps asking me to verify my email and won’t let me access the app until I do but I am unable to verify as it doesn’t send me an email sp that I can verify. Why does it want me to verify again and block me in the meantime, I signed up and paid so why?? It only worked during the two week trial period, not since I paid £35 for a year. And yes, the money has come out of my bank account. Very disappointing.
RHS Grow
The plant finder function frequently doesn’t work and freezes
Plant identifier
Over a few months the plant identifier tool had slowed down. So I got in touch with the RHS app team and an apparent problem was sorted out in a couple of days. And now thanks to them the app is working perfectly and impressively again.
Too Glitchy for a paid app
Too many glitches, takes ages to load regardless of WiFi speed, tools not available, way to poor to pay for when it’s this unreliable, how to I get a refund?
