WaterMe - Gardening Reminders

I’ve been using this app for a couple of years now and love it! I always recommend it to all my plant enthusiast friends. It’s easy to use, has a beautiful and simple UI, and is easy to understand at a quick glance. I currently use the water reminder note section to put all of my plant care info. It would be nice if a notes section was in the “Edit Plant” section instead for these general types of notes and then the reminder notes could be specific to those reminders. I also would love a plant graveyard. When something goes wrong, I always feel terrible deleting a plant and it would be nice to keep track of the plants that I have had in the past so that I know which ones might not have done well in our apartment’s dry winters which is when we tend to have plant difficulties.

I’ve been using this app in conjunction with a few other plant apps for the past few months and this one has quickly become my favorite. I don’t need to add extra details, I can name the plants whatever I want, and I can add/edit reminders as I see fit. I can easily adjust reminders settings as well, this is helpful as a novice plant parent who is still figuring out what works! The reasons I did not give 5 stars are these: I wish there was a previous calendar (it could be super minimalist, like just a list or something) that shows more than just the immediate previously watering/whatever item is scheduled. I’d like to look back at maybe 6-8 weeks of what was completed when so I can pick up on trends. Also, this is less necessary but a cool add on could be a spring/summer vs fall/winter schedule for different plants. I’d be happy without this feature, as I haven’t seen it anywhere else and I prefer the minimalist style of this app and don’t want to ruin it. I never review things but this app performs almost exactly as I would like it to, and it seemed worth mentioning.

I’m a total novice at gardening, but I became very interested in growing succulents and spices when I saw videos online. Needless to say, the watering schedule got confusing pretty fast, and so I looked up a tool to help and found this app. It’s really great, and works well to remind me which plants need watering (and how much watering in the notes), as well as when to fertilize etc. The only thing I’d like to see added is a choice to start a timer on a certain day of the week, for example, if I water a cactus once a week on Thursdays, I want to be able to add the plant in the app on a Monday but only start receiving notifications on the following Thursday, instead of having the plant sit in the “late” column for a few days, or starting the plant on watering day. Great job with this app, in any case!

I have a few plants with different water cycles. I realized within the span of a month, I forgot to water/fertilize/mist at lest one plant. This app easily allows for editing of the length between waterings for each plant, allows you to add a picture, and allows you to see upcoming reminders. I personally have not had issues with the app crashing or not loading (unlike other similar apps). My favorite feature is the naming system. With this I have one plant that needs misting every few days, fertilizer every 2 weeks, and a water change every 9 days. I realized you can just add "mist" or "fertilizer" after a plants name so you can keep track of all three things (water/mist/fertilizer) in one easy to use app.

I'm the sort of person who can never consistently water their plants, so when I found this app, I gave it a chance. And it is SO HELPFUL. The layout is simple, but it definitely gets the job done. I don't have to take forever and figure out how to work the app! And my favorite part is that I can choose what time I want to be reminded to water my plants. I tend to water them in the evening, so it's great to have an app that will remind me when I'm actually at home and able to water the plants instead of me dismissing the notification early in the day and forgetting to water the plants at night. Great app! Kudos to the developer!!
