Armitage’s Great Garden Plants for Negative User Reviews
✓ Big troubleThis app work well in the past, but now when I click on it, it comes up and then disappears immediately. I can’t seem to get any tech-support from the ‘app support’ button in the App Store.Version: 2.3.2
✓ Armitage's greatest perennialAfter reading one page, "Rules for Gardening", that said absolutely nothing of use I could not then get back to the home page, Judy kept getting promotion page for the App developer Sutro Media. Deleted immediately. Complete waste of £3.99 John.Version: 2.0.4
✓ GlitchesJust got this. It’s not compatible with dark mode on iPhone 11 (the text isn’t visible). The support link doesn’t work. The developer’s website doesn’t load. I haven’t looked at the app in depth but it looks good and comes from one of the best horticulturists anywhere. So I’m hopeful, but off to a rocky start with no apparent way to get the kinks worked out. Sigh..Version: 2.3.7
✓ Covers many perennials and annuals shrubs, but not ExhaustiveI’m not familiar with Mr. Armitage, so my expectations were off. Someone recommended the app as an helpful guide to individual plants, but there were no trees, nor the usual evergreens like arborvitae or holly. Just two types of roses. From a wealth of experience, the author recommends specific cultivars and solutions to a few specific gardening issues/categories such as drought-tolerant or deer-resistant plants. The app works just fine on my iPhone 11..Version: 2.3.9
✓ Absolute rubbish at this stage, for the noviceAs a seasoned nursery man and rare plant junky I was shocked at how few plants were in this app. I did not find one new plant and the selection I could have compiled in a few afternoons. Unless you are new to gardening wait to buy until a much more thorough version is released. Sadly extremely extremely disappointed but hopefully it will improve in the future. Buyers beware..Version: 1.0
✓ Armitage AppNot worth the money. Photos are very poorly done. No photos of different varieties of species. On a positive note the species descriptions are fairly lengthy and helpful. Overall I would rate the app 2 1/2..Version: 2.2.4
✓ No longer functionalSince the most recent iOS update this app has lost all content. Links are available, but information has disappeared..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Not For ProfessionalsLike Dr. Michael Dirr, Dr. Armitage is widely respected among professional horticulturists, landscape architects, and serious amateurs. Both may be tired of the constant comparisons, but that's the reality. If you own the Michael Dirr app ($14.99 and worth twice that), do not expect this app to be similar in any way. While the Dirr app is essentially his complete tome on woody ornamentals (with lots of color pictures!) in a handy little searchable database app, this app is like a Ladies Home Journal spring gardening issue. It's great for sparking some ideas with good photography. Period. It contains a very small personal selection of the author's favorites that seems obsessed with deer resistance. Only barebones information is included on the limited species. For those that buy their plants only at Lowes/Home Depot on weekends in May, this would be a great app if it sold for $.99. Professionals and serious amateurs will be sorely disappointed by this app for $4.99 with Dr. Armitage's name on it..Version: 1.0
✓ Intresting app needs better design!I really liked the app but it is hard to find your away around and the design is a little rough..Version: 2.0.4
✓ No search functionThis has the potential to be a very valuable app. I would suggest a search option so that people can search information specific to a plant they might be looking at purchasing. I was also hoping that Canada would be included, since the author is originally from here. This is USA specific. Currently it isn't really worth the purchase price. But hopefully it can be made more useful. I would also recommend the ability to search for plants by USDA zone that you live in..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Should listened to the bad reviewsGreat Idea...Lousy Execution Unless you NEVER want to look for plants in any other area than where you are at, then this App is not the App for you as you can not select a location by dropping a pin on the map page and have the results filtered by pin location instead of user location. Sure, you could select the zones 3-4 selection, but then that negates the purpose of the map page doesn't it?.Version: 1.0
✓ Not compatible with iPhone Xr?The App Store says this app is compatible with my new iPhone Xr, but when I open the app it just crashes. I used it before on my iPhone 6, and I continue to be able to use it on my iPad – but I am disappointed that I cannot use it on the Xr so that I can reference it while I am in the field. Also, the link to the developer site leads to a website that is not built yet, so I cannot directly contact the developer for a solution..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Wah, wah, wah, wah (disappointed trumpet)If you own the maestro's incomparable reference book already, save your bread. Unlike the Dirr app, this one isn't a digital version of the book. Is it well done, aesthetically pleasing and easy to use? Yup. Does it have much in the way of content (yet)? Nope. So for now, the big heavy fantastic books stay behind the seat in the truck or within army's reach on the shelf. Hope to see more plants added as time permits..Version: 1.0
✓ A DisappointmentGiven the 5-stars reviews, I was expecting something grand. But the more I look through the App, the more disappointed I am. For example: 1. This App does not come close to presenting the numbers of Perennials and Annuals that are covered in the Audubon and other books, or in many online Websites. 2. The App provides options for reading about flowers in USDA Zones--but forget it if you live in Zones 9-13. I live in California--Zones 10 & 11, absent from this App. 3. The App's Comment and Email Author functions do not work. Don't waste you money on this overpriced App..Version: 1.0
✓ I’d like my money backI was expecting a comprehensive and interesting tool, and found so little as to be almost funny - and now it will not even open. Please return my purchase price..Version: 4.2.0
✓ Save your moneyThis is the first I have bought written by Dr. Armitage. I was disappointed. I won't go out of my way looking for his books after seeing this. It does have beautiful pictures. I really wanted more about the plants than that and u tube videos..Version: 2.0
✓ Change font or background color, pleaseI can’t see any of the black words on the black background :(.Version: 2.3.7
✓ Limited info. Useful for a beginnerThis app covers only some herbaceous perennials and annuals, no shrubs, no trees. There isn't information on propagation, planting what with what, drought tolerance... Most of what is included could be found on the plant tag at a decent nursery. If you are shopping at a hardware store, this app would be helpful as they include a lot less info on the tag. It does include the author's personal opinions of the plants, which is interesting. Specific cultivars are described and recommended. The photos are very pretty and clicking on one gives you plant details. You are able to edit the list by shade/sun, zone, flowers/foliage and a few other criteria which is helpful. I don't see myself using it much except for the pretty pictures..Version: 1.0
✓ What is going on with this appNot able to use this app at all every time I open it it crashes. Is there going to be a upgrade of some kind..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Unable to use appI just purchased your app for iPhone XR. Nothing will show up and app crashes..Version: 2.3.9
✓ App not working anymoreAll of a sudden the app is no longer showing any plant info in any section. Help!.Version: 2.3.5
