Armitage’s Great Garden Plants App Reviews

Since the most recent iOS update this app has lost all content. Links are available, but information has disappeared.

This 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 isnt 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.

This is the app gardeners and flower/garden lovers have been waiting for. Even though this is the first release - it is an excellent, polished product. Thank you Dr. Armitage.

The pictures alone are worth purchasing this app. It is written and formatted in a manner that allows a casual gardener to use the app easily. The maps really help with information. It is nice to have an expert pass his knowledge along to amateur gargeners.

I highly recommend this app to the avid Gardner as well as the aspiring horticulturist. It provides illustrative images, unusual perennial plants, as well as advice from "The Doc" himself, Allan Armitage. Its a must have for anyone at all interested in plants!

This app is so useful and easy for anyone to use. It is great for beginner horticulturalists and master gardeners. The best part about the app is that it has all the information on any perennial you could ever think of, but it also provides locations of botanical gardens where you can find the beautiful perennials.

I love the features presented this app! Its like having access an expert when Im in my garden or when Im at the garden nursery (selecting new plants)! Way to go, Armitage! Brilliant.

Dr. Armitages wealth of knowledge and breadth of research can now be in the palm of your hand! Who wouldnt want that?

Its a great reference and guide when looking for the right perennial or annual for any situation.

Given 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 Apps Comment and Email Author functions do not work. Dont waste you money on this overpriced App.

This is a great app for anyone interested in gardening whether you have a green thumb or you just like to poke around in the yard! The pictures are stunning for an app and the reference guide is extremely helpful. How great that you can have all of this information handy on your phone when you are at the garden center or even out in your yard?

It has only taken a couple clicks and scrolls with a few minutes of reading to say I like this app! First, Allen is a very entertaining writer so its enjoyable. Facts about the plants are to the point, clear n easy. Like how you can swipe the screen to see photos. And the video links rule. Thank you for creating this app. Cathy T.

Great app when you are shopping the garden center, or on a garden tour & anxious to learn more about a specific plant. I hope it continues to expand & be updated!

A wealth of useful and accessible information for both the seasoned gardener and the novice.

Excellent app- very intuitive

Easy to use. Fine selection of plants presented.

Great app! Worth every penny! Every horticulturist needs this app! Buy! Buy! Buy!

Gorgeous, easy to use and informative. If you are wondering about paying the price, you will easily make it back by resisting plants that arent going to work for you. Good source for designing your plantings and landscape.

I love this app! I would have expected nothing less from Dr. Armitage. I only hope that he continues to add plants! Thanks for developing a really good app for us gardeners in 7a

This app covers only some herbaceous perennials and annuals, no shrubs, no trees. There isnt 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 authors 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 dont see myself using it much except for the pretty pictures.
