Plant saver!

People tend to give me plants that I know very little about simply because I love plants. This app is awesome to figure out good placement and give a good basic overview of a variety of plants. It’s SUPER easy to suggest additions too! I sent in a request at the contact email for a couple of tricky plants to be added and got a response the next day. The plants were added by the next update.

Update fixed the issues

Thank you for updating the app. I had given it one star based upon the inaccuracies the update had caused but it’s back to working fine now. I tried it on natural light and two different grow lights and it provided readings that seemed to be more in line with what I would expect.

so helpful

now I know why!

Wish I hadn’t paid before trying

It’s a cool concept, but it’s got a limited list of plants to check from and half of mine aren’t on it. This was recommended online as a free app, I wish I’d have tried it before paying.

Pretty awesome!

I usually randomly test plants to make sure they’re getting enough light. I live in a basement apartment and they only rely on grow lights. This is pretty accurate and so helpful. My plants are thriving in my conditions. People complain that there’s some plants missing but all you have to do is use the all plants feature and see how many fc there is and look up how much your plants need.

Missing common plant!

Cannabis plant is not one of the available options. 😕

Skeptical at first but life saver for newbies

My house only has north and south facing windows with trees or house structures blocking window light. I found it a struggle finding the best place to put plants but this app helps a ton. All my plants have been doing well and I credit this app in helping me along my plant hobby journey.

Happy to be Wrong!

Thought I wasn’t going to like this app, but I was wrong. No more guessing, no more trying to figure out lumens, lux, candle 😝 Takes all the guesswork out! Only complaint, not enough plants!! PLEASE add more. Even if it’s as a paid add on, it would be worth it!!

Amazing FREE Plant Light App!!

I’m always on the search for a truly FREE plant app. This one is awesome and I’d say pretty accurate for lighting. Wish it had a few more options for indoor plants. Like orchids.

App works great

Even without putting it on leaves, it works great. Worth the money

Such a cool idea!

Love this app, super nice to be able to get different light readings using my phone! I would request support for trees commonly used for bonsai, like Chinese elm and juniper!

The best plant app

On of the best light measurements for plants. Good job guys

Feature request

PLEASE make this usable on FRONT FACING CAMERA!!!!! fixed! thanks!!! 🙏

Handy App

As a newby plant mom, I use this app all the time to find the best locations in the house for my plant babies. Definitely worth the couple of bucks I spent for it.

Okay but unreliable

This meter only works on green leaves and images taken at certain angles. It isn’t a reliable source to tell if your plants are getting enough light. And it definitely isn’t for artificial light. Overall an okay meter.

Knowing

I love being able to monitor my plants’needs by repositioning them for their best light needs!

Not compatible with iPhone Xs

Upgraded from an iPhone 7plus and I can’t allow this app access to my camera. The app doesn’t even show in Apple settings. Please fix this issue bc the app works great...or at least it used to

Plants need light

I am very glad for this app I love how easier it is to know The right lighting thank you

Almost there

I like it, but a numerable value would be nice, and it would be nice to be able to flip the camera.

Feature request

PLEASE make this usable on FRONT FACING CAMERA!!!!!

Doubtful

In direct sunlight it goes back and forth between medium and high. DIRECT. SUNLIGHT. It’s very easy to use but I don’t feel it’s very accurate

Everything is too low

I’m confused, every single reading in my house is reading too low, even in the brightest rooms in my house. This seems like a waste of money, considering I have plants all over and nothing has died due to inappropriate light.
