Gardener's Journal

Pros: I love how simple this app is to use. And how journals are set up makes total sense to me. I have a journal for each planting season (like summer 2019) and within that journal I can break it down to seed starting, planting, following each plant growing, and harvesting. Cons: I wish you could add multiple picture per entry. I also can’t seem to zoom in on pictures I’ve uploaded. It’s either at 100% or like 10,000% of one small random area that I can’t change. It'd be nice to be able to pinch zoom.

Update...I’ve used this for 3 years. I still like it. Doesn’t look like it has new updates so maybe no longer supported which worries me that eventually it won’t work. Would love to see it updated with picture zoom feature. I’d also like to be able to change the order of my journals. This is the perfect app for me. I just want to be able to date stamp photos of my plants and add simple notes. This does that very easily. Thanks!

Pros: easy to add entries and photos, allows you to track a plants growth Cons: only one, I created journals for different areas of my yard but if I move a plant to a new area there doesn’t seem to be a way to move that plant from one journal to another, I have to start a new entry. Otherwise I really enjoy the app and hope it remains supported!

Works. Doesn’t have a lot of features on free version

I discovered this app by chance and I love it. I've recommended it to my Master Gardener friends and I will be featuring it in one of our classes in 2015. This app is virtually a blank notebook and is structured so that one can add sections with sub sections. Of course, there are lots of tiny improvements that I'd love to have incorporated, but what I like about the app is the freedom to keep a record of all the details that are important to me. I do not feel forced to structure my note taking around someone else's structure. I keep photos of events in the garden and this app does not limit me. I haven't encountered another garden app that provides the flexibility to add a section on "unwanted visitors" -- such as the baby foxes, captured with my night camera, chewing my irrigation drip lines. I recommend you give this app a try.
