Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I've paid for this app for two years now and use to love it. Now it's glitchy and won't clear the done tasks. Also, it will tell me to water one day and the very next day will say to provide liquid fertilizer. Like um my plant is already wet! It also forgets to tell me to water some plants. I have 150+ plants so it's helpful getting reminders on which ones to check but when it skips plants for over a month well that's not helpful.

I love the Planta app. One suggestion is to add a sort filter by the plants that need attention before others. Currently, the sort function is by location. Would you be able to sort by the plants that are overdue for watering? As a person with 70+ plants, it would be helpful to know the ones that need water ASAP.

I love this app, it’s keeping me on task with the tons of plants I have but I wish there were other options for pots such as maybe a subcategory choosing a self-watering option. I have a few self-watering plastic and terracotta pots that would benefit from me occasionally being reminded to ensure they’re full.
