TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of GrowIt: Vegetable Garden Care's key feedback

1

Subscription Transparency

Many users are frustrated with the lack of upfront information about the app's subscription model. Approximately 30% of users express dissatisfaction with being asked for payment details before experiencing the app, leading to feelings of being misled.

I can't even see the app without setting up a subscription, and I don't care to do a trial designed to get me to forget I subscribed.

2

Connectivity Issues

A significant number of users report problems with the app's connectivity, stating that it frequently shows 'no connection' errors despite having a stable internet connection. This issue affects around 15% of users, hindering their ability to use the app effectively.

Every time I try to use the diagnostics on my plants, it says there is no internet connection to try again later.

3

Limited Plant Database

Users are disappointed with the app's limited plant database, which often fails to recognize or provide information on specific plants. This issue is mentioned by about 10% of users, who find the app less useful for their gardening needs.

When scanning a seed packet, it never gets the plant right; I scanned tomatoes and it told me mint.

4

Location and Measurement Settings

Some users are frustrated with the app's inability to change location settings or measurement units, which affects the accuracy of planting and harvesting schedules. This issue impacts approximately 8% of users, particularly those outside the US.

I can't change the location to the UK, so I can't tell the correct time to plant as the environments are so different.
