Yard Mastery

I really do enjoy the idea behind this app, a calendar tab on the bottom would be useful so that you could actually see the days laid out instead of just saying you have X amount of days til the next app. Also adding in over seeding in the journal portion, you would just to have they type of seed thrown down. Watering times and days would also be helpful so you remember what days your watering, if it rained, if you changed the length of watering time due to drought conditions. Mowing schedule would be awesome as well, and all these come back to the calendar tab which you could access and see all of your info everyday. Just designate colored dots or lines or something for each ex: green=mow; blue=watering; yellow=fert; red=weed killer; etc. then you choose a day and it pulls up what’s going on or what is scheduled for that day. Another feature that would be nice is to be able to have separate sections of your lawn. Like the front and back yard, or side yard. For example if you put down grass seed in your side lawn and did not in your front lawn but did fertilize the front the same day you seeded. The next up tile would be different times for each section.

Very promising app. Like the other reviewer I would like to edit the main home screen task completed date as well. You can edit the journal dates but it saves whatever day you open the app and tap done on the alert pop up. For example I clicked done on April 8th so now the home screen says I put down pre emergent on April 8th when in my actual journal I put down pre em on Feb 16th. Additionally dates in the journal are listed in the order you entered them. Would be great if you never forget to put something in your journal or like me you download it after you have already done several apps and try to log them for reference. My journals order is now April, Feb, March. Would be nice to have them refresh in order. Lastly I would like to be able to choose what picture shows as the thumbnail in the journal list. I uploaded multiple photos per entry but no control over what the thumbnail is. Overall great start. Needs some tweaks though.

I don’t like rating or reviewing after purchasing items, or downloading any application. However, I am a lawn care enthusiast and this application is helping me tremendously. It simplifies the tracking of average soil temperatures in my area, the journal helps me stay organized and suggest the kind of treatments I should apply and when. There is a blog where new products are shown, and if you are a lawn care enthusiast, you can research on your own the benefits of the products they advertise, and you could search for lower prices but, I doubt that you will find cheaper prices when you do the math. This application blog presents the latest developments when it comes to treatments and new breakthroughs in the lawn care community based on research, hands on experience of many people working together and sharing with us.

This app gets off to a good,basic start and I know there will be great updates ahead. It’s basic and super easy to use while providing a, much needed, centralized place to keep track of your lawn journey. I am noticing that double entries are recorded when journaling. I’ve had to delete the duplicate entry each time. Probably an easy bug fix. My Wishlist for enhancements includes being able to modify the date on the completed tasks that link to the periodic reminders. Next, a calendar would be a useful visual. Making our plan shareable would be a cool feature as well. Lastly it would be helpful to have cost tracking. Tracking of irrigation, enhancements, and products related to yard maintenance. My goal is to minimize expenses and it would be nice to be able to track expenses from season to season. The way I see it, the healthier your lawn, the less you spend to maintain it. THANK YOU Yard Mastery for developing this app.

ask user to change the rating

This application is a work in progress and currently feels like a sales tactic for specific product. If the developer changes a few things and adds to the application it could be worth while. My recommendations -select multiple lawn grasses. I have warm in the front and cool in the back. Make multiple lawns and allow user to name them ‘Front yard’ etc -Rainfall tracker/when to self water. I don’t have an irrigation system, but I would like a notification when it’s time to apply water. It would be nice if it knew how long it had been since rain and it also knew what’s forecasted. -remove product names. Notify me when to apply fert, pre emergent, water, grub control, insecticide, fungicide. Ask me how the lawn looks for post emergent control and prompt me to apply it if the yard needs it. I will not continue using this application if they stick with their product line. Many of the products are either not something I would purchase or not something I would apply at that rate etc. This application has serious potential and I hope the developers listen to their users. Thank you!
