Review summary

Users appreciate the Willow app's easy-to-use interface, free access, and helpful plant care guidance through sensors and schedules. However, many mention the plant database is limited, missing common plants, and the app's notifications are intrusive. Setup and syncing issues with sensors are common frustrations, along with the app's reliance on personal data and cloud storage. Despite bugs and missing features, users find value in its plant identification and care support, especially for beginners.

Pros

Easy to navigate and use with a beautiful interface design.
Helpful for plant care and monitoring with sensors that guide watering and light needs.
Free to use with no initial cost for the app itself.
Includes plant identification and a growing database of plant care information.
Allows users to add and update schedules for watering, fertilizing, and other plant care activities.

Cons

Limited and incomplete plant database, with many common plants missing.
Notifications are excessive and intrusive, especially with multiple sensors, leading users to mute them.
Sensors and app can be buggy or unreliable, with syncing issues and outdated readings.
Setup process is fiddly and clunky, with poor guidance and confusing onboarding.
Requires personal information and cloud storage, with no offline or manual data logging options.

2025-02-02	To*****	Does not have most of my plants and it needs me to pay additional monthly plan on top of buying the original box. I wasted my 5 free identifications to try to pair plants that their database doesn't have. Waste of money.

2025-01-26	Zu*****	It is absolutely ridiculous how many notifications this app sends, especially if you have multiple sensors. Notification when the plant is happy, notification when the plant is sad. Every day repeatedly telling me that there's not enough light in my living room, despite the plants doing well. I am so sick of it, the only option is to mute all notifications and just hope for the best. Which defies the purpose of buying the sensors in the first place.
