GardenPuzzle - Plan a Garden

I’m going to keep my bad review below because I should be punished for such a bad take on such a great app. I will say that I was having a very hard time on my phone but once I realized I can use it on my desktop it was a game changer. I do landscaping for a living and this saves me so much time and effort. I can upload a clients house and lay out my entire plan in minutes to send with my estimate. This really is a great idea and it should have a much higher rating. I just started to “use” this and I already hate it. It’s difficult to adjust where I want things to go. I can’t get straight lines for when I change the ground type. There is no mulch. I tried to make do with the black gravel but I’m all over the place when filling it in and I get a green dotted line that I can’t seem to adjust so half of my flower bed has the old mulch color. Really disappointed, and I’ll be canceling this today.

This app keeps crashing on me. Sometimes I’ll add my additions to an image and it freezes and I can’t continue, sometimes it just reverts back to the original image. I also found it doesn’t always save my project. It says “saved” but then I hit open and there isn’t anything there. A couple other items of note: 1. Textures need more options. There isn’t even mulch. (But they do have meadow, odd since mulch would probably get more use) 2. I don’t feel like there is enough options under structures. I wish they had more colors to choose from in the few structures they have. 3. I wan’t to be able to add a hedge and what they have just doesn’t work right. 4. There isn’t enough plants and varieties of plants to choose from. I really wanted this app to work well. I like that it’s not a subscription. I’m so sick of every app wanting a monthly subscription… ridiculous! I hope they fix the bugs and start adding more options.

Wonderful wonderful app!!! They have come a long way with their app features and function. AMAZING customer support. If you have a question they get back to you right away! There is a wide selection of plants and the graphics are perfect for the application. Using your own image as the background helps to create ideas on the fly that I can show to my clients. As a future landscape architect, this app really allows me to explore garden design and share that exploration with others.
