What early users are saying
After playing around with the free plan, it felt worth it to pay.
It will help me get a handle on maintaining my trees while learning along the way.
The founder pricing made sense. I generally don't care for subscriptions.
Finally an app that doesn't treat every plant the same way.
Stopped relying on my notes app to remember when I last repotted.
Saved me from watering on a rainy day. The weather context is underrated.
