Falling Fruit App Reviews

Absolute gem of a concept. Whoever made it has moved on, but it’s still full of relevant info. Fortunately trees outlive apps! Deal with the flaws if you want this delectable info.

This app is so helpful! However, it could be helped by basic updates, such as being able to filter out some plants you don't want to see, and being able to filter basic plant families, instead of needing to specify a specific species. For example, it would be much easier to find crabapples if there was an option to show anything that was named crabapple, instead of having to search for a specific species.

This app is clearly a bit outdated, you can see many listings from 2013-2014. But I have a theory, stick with me, that this app will blow up again. With the rise of interest in environments, nature, foraging, etc, this app would honestly be so effective and helpful for more digital-dependent foragers. I’ve seen this around, and I think I’ll see more soon hopefully. This app has so much potential.

We are flying through this country foraging for frinedly fruits and un-empty dumpsters. But catch us because this app needs an update. To be able to find location of user using a better map service, or at least to fill the screen of recent phone screens with bigger format/screen size. Thank you, we are falling

App works well now!

It’s got some minor bugs and there’s plenty of room for improvement, but it does what it needs to do! I’m really enjoying using it and contributing to it.

Thw previous reviews had me questioning whether this was worth trying…but it works perfectly? Registration email was sent instantly and I logged in without trouble. I’m now looking at about 100 dots on the map within blocks of my home (I might be a slight outlier given my urban setting). Thank you Falling Fruit!

I was skeptical to download based on previous reviews but a few recent reviews were positive so I went ahead and bought the app. It’s working great! You can search for specific edibles in your area. I did not attempt to edit a point or create a new log yet though. Overall, worth the $2. Would be great to get more crowd sourced data!

I’m a little confused as to why I am getting charged another 1.99 when app stated 5.99 one time fee? And how or where do I cancel if this is in fact a subscription?!

After finally being able to set up an account I have yet to be able to use the App because it never loads any actual data. When I use the (free) website it pops up quickly with locations and pins.

The descriptions atleast need coordinates or some some way to identify where the fruit is. Great idea but bad execution

I really think it should have filter options like… filter out all the dumpster diver posts… and it be a setting that saves. I personally don’t want to eat anything that risks having discarded glass or needles… and I don’t particularly consider this foraging. I want to know things like where people saw onion grass, dandelions, or pawpaws… not where people found half eaten bagels… 🤢
