Changelog

Greeting, plant parents! This updates brings you an improved at-a-glance task history chart. This new design fits more days on the screen, helping you identify patterns and trends on the things you do.

In plant profiles, we re-worked how you may configure a task: tap the next due date button to snooze or reschedule the task; tap repeat button to change repeat interval or start/stop repeating the task entirely.

Also included are some bug fixes and code clean-up:
* A layout issue with tasks in To-do List might cause text to be truncated or invisible. Fixed.
* For PlantPal Pro members, the app might not properly remember which Site you were last using. Fixed.
* Operations on plants, tasks, task history might not save properly in certain pages in the app. Fixed.
* For PlantPal Pro members who use Work Days, auto-snooze did not properly suggest a longer period of time for low-frequency tasks, and would always auto-snooze to the next Work Day. Fixed.
* We refactored our code base so that it’s more robust. We also removed some code that caused crashes and wasn’t contributing to a great user experience.

Hope you’ll enjoy this update! As always, we look forward to your feedback and suggestions.

Version 4.7.1 fixed an issue that prevented photo from loading in Widgets.

Previously—

Greetings, plant parents! Version 4.7 brings you “Work Days”, a new feature that brings more sanity to plant care tasks.

#### Work Days ####

Select days of week when you want to get more done with your plants. PlantPal intelligently suggests tasks that will due shortly and adds them to your to-do list.

Over time, your care tasks will predominantly show up on your Work Days. On other days of the week, you will more likely get the entire day off when you don’t have to worry anything about your plants.

If you have been using Suggested Tasks in previous versions: PlantPal will select your Work Days for you when you upgrade. However, you may change your Work Days settings at any time.

Work Days is a premium feature that requires PlantPal Pro membership.

#### Optimized To-do List ####

Along with Work Days, we reworked our data model that powers your to-do list. Even with hundreds of plants in your garden, your to-do list is now much more responsive and power-efficient.

Also, we are marking suggested tasks in to-do list with a lighter coloured tint.

Finally, snoozing is a lot more smarter. If you have Work Days enabled, snoozing may intelligently snooze until to the next Work Day.

#### Misc & Bug Fixes ####

* You can now hide a photo from the photo widgets. This can be handy if you want to hide some photos that don’t spark joy.
* “Other Tasks” are not collapsed properly sometimes. Fixed.
* App did not properly remember the site you last visited. Fixed.
* CloudKit sync might cause the app to crash. Fixed.
* App might quietly crash when in the background. Fixed.

Greetings, plant parents! Version 4.2 brings some under-the-hood updates for the data model, so the app now runs more reliably.

The update to the model change also enabled better backup and restore experience:

- You can now create a backup file, manage the file, and restore your entire data from the backup
- Backup files no longer take up your iCloud space when you have iCloud backup enabled
- Temporary files are now purged when you close the app, reducing PlantPal’s space footprint
- PlantPal Pro is no longer required to restore your data from a backup

We believe in users’ data ownership, and that’s why PlantPal has always had data export since Version 1. Now by making backup free to restore from, we are one step closer to that ideal : )

Also in this version:

- You no longer have to create a site and a room before adding you plants
- A new “My Plants” view to see all your plants (except archived) in one place
- Free users no longer have access to organization tools such as rooms, groups or sites. If you have a lot of plants and can benefit from better organization, we invite you to try PlantPal Pro
- PlantPal Pro users on iOS 15 can now filter tasks by due date using the menu in To-do list, as well as set a default for when you launch the app. (This feature was made available to iOS 16 users since Version 4.0.)
- We fixed a few localization issues throughout the app

You can also lower the frequency for PlantPal’s photo reminder, or have it turned off completely in Preferences.

Hope you’ll enjoy this version! We are excited for this big update, and would like to hear what you think—drop a line; we are all ears.

Greetings, plant parents. Version 3.12 is a minor update that does three things:

1. It adds a progress bar in the To-do List. When you have a long list of to-dos, this will come in handy, helping you track progress.

2. It paves the road for upcoming iOS releases. We moved around code and redid some structures. The app now runs more efficiently as a result.

3. It crushed a few bugs around the To-do List, as well as other parts of the app.

Hope you’ll enjoy this update! As always, any feedback and suggestions are welcomed—please feel free to reach out.

Version 3.11 fixed an issue that prevented some user from changing task repeat frequency from the details page. Also fixed are some typo in the App's UI.

Version 3.10 allows you to submit a missing plant to the catalogue. We will use submitted information to periodically add missing plants, or improve the accuracy on existing ones.

When submitting a plant, the app will send your search keyword to our server. Along with it is a random Session ID that resets every time the app launches. Session ID is not tied to your membership status, your iCloud account or your device ID. It helps us audit the validity of the submitted information. When you submit the keyword via "Care Notes", the name (and secondary nickname) will also be uploaded. Information is retained up to 40 days on our server.

No other information is shared in this process. No photo or image is ever uploaded.

Version 3.9.1 fixed an issue that prevented the right plants from appearing when searching the catalogue.

Greetings, plant parents! Version 3.8 addressed a few issues on both the iPhone and the iPad.

* Navigating your plants on the iPhone got easier. For those who have multiple properties, switching can now be done by tapping the button centre top on the iPhone. You can also go to your plant archive from here with few taps than before.
* Navigation on the iPad is more consistent on the iPad. Archived plants now takes advantage of the column-based layout to give you more space to work with.
* Wishlist is now available on the iPad, and they now sync perfectly fine with your iPhone Wishlist.
* Plant information view now takes advantage of the spacious layout on the iPad.
* Exporting/Importing is now moved to the Preferences tab.

Bug fixes:
* Fixed a localization issue during the onboarding process.
* Fixed an issue where users could add plants to a non-existing room.
* Fixed an issue where property name isn’t timely refreshed.
* Fixed an issue with plant list view that caused battery drain. The app is also more responsive thanks to the fix.

Hope you’ll enjoy this update. We’re always open to feedback and ideas, so keep them coming!

Greetings, plant parents! Version 3.7 brings “Wishlist” where you can keep track of plants you want to have, but not yet in possession.

This version also brings a more streamlined experience adding new plants to your room. You can also find out about care tips for your plants by connecting them to the database.

Also, a bug was fixed: for tasks that repeat every day, they would keep “Show tasks due tomorrow” from disappearing. Not anymore :)

Hope you’ll enjoy this update! As always, please feel free to reach out for any suggestions or feedback.

Version 3.6.1 addressed some issues:

* Tasks that repeat every day could mess up suggested options. Fixed.
* Adding plants to an empty room might cause the app to become unresponsive. Fixed.

Previously—

Greetings, plant parents! Version 3.6 added more stuff to the houseplant catalogue. Now you can find quick tips regarding each of your plants, and stay informed on what’s best for them.

To do that, open the “Care Notes” section of a plant, and link your plant to the catalogue. This feature is going through a phased rollout—we are still adding more content to the catalogue, and this may become a paid feature in the future.

This version also includes some bug fixes for UI, localization and data issues.

Version 3.5.1 addressed an issue that caused plants to disappear when grouping them.

Greetings, plant parents! Version 3.3 improved UI and UX, and killed some bugs that have been lingering around.

* Improved: group headers received a face lift, and are now consistent with group headers in other places of the app.

Previously—

Greetings, plant parents. PlantPal is now officially one year old, and we are at Version 3! Version 3.0 brings a few key features that you have been asking for—

#### Seasonal Task Schedules ####
Use different schedules for different seasons. Reduce watering in the winter. Repot when spring begins. Add some misting during the hot summer. Cut back dead leaves at the end of the fall. Now it’s all possible with seasonal schedules.

Seasonal schedules are available to PlantPal Pro members.

#### Weather and Alerts ####
See the weather at your current location, and be on the lookout for extreme weather conditions, such as frost in the spring or a heat wave in the dead of summer. Weather information is available to everyone for free.

PlantPal Pro members receive additional suggestions to rotate seasons based on weather forecast.

#### Better Planning with Task Overview Page ####
Plants now have a dedicated page for you to plan all your care tasks in one place. See your plans across all seasons, all at one glance.

You can also use this page to:
* Toggle seasonal schedules on or off;
* Copy the current settings to other plants; or
* Import settings from another plant.

#### Improved Task Suggestions ####
PlantPal learns from your care history, and will suggest upcoming tasks for the same plant.

For example, when a plant needs watering today and fertilizing in 3 days, PlantPal will suggest fertilizing for you to complete together. This will help you coalesce your care schedules, and give you rest days in between—handy when you have dozens of plants to care for!

Smart suggestions are available to PlantPal Pro members. Users without the Pro membership can still access “due tomorrow” suggestions.

#### UI/UX Improvements ####
* We combined plant information page and the page where you edit information. You can move, rename, or archive the plant without having to jump in and out.
* We adjusted spacing for a few view elements. Now things look cleaner and more unified.
* We made improvements to how watering schedules are suggested. You can also copy tasks from the last one you created.
* When you search for a plant but cannot find it, we will use your search query as plant name so you don’t have to enter it twice.
* The app now remembers the room where you last added a plant to.
* From the to-do list, you can jump to a plant in group by tapping on the group thumbnail.

#### Bug fixes ####
* Fixed localization in some dialogues across the app. They contained typos or were simply not properly localized to every language supported.
* Fixed date calculation issue when daylight saving time is involved.
* App permission messages are now localized (camera usage, photo library access, and location usage).

Greetings, plant parents! Version 2.1 further enhances your experience on the iPad, by adding keyboard support.

>> Navigation with keyboard
Navigation all parts of PlantPal with arrow keys and tab key. You can go almost anywhere without lifting your finger from the keys—if you prefer!

>> Menus and keyboard shortcuts
Use keyboard shortcuts to do most of the things you do in PlantPal—complete a task, reschedule it, create a new plant or edit it—all without tapping around.

To see which menus are available, press and hold Command key on your keyboard to reveal the menu system. As a quick cheatsheet—

- Cmd + 1 to go to Task List
- Cmd + 2–9 to go to your properties in the sidebar
- Cmd + 0 to go to Photobook

To work on a task—
- Cmd + K to mark completed
- Cmd + S to reschedule a task

To save or close a sheet for editing—
- Cmd + enter to save and close the sheet
- Cmd + W to close without saving

Hope you’ll enjoy this update! As always, feel free to leave a line if you have any feedback or suggestion.

Version 2.0.1 fixed an issue with in-app purchases. Previously—

Version 2.0 brings PlantPal to iPad! And did we mention iCloud sync support since Version 1.7? Now your plant’s care info is available wherever you go.

### On to the big screen ###

When we say iPad support, we mean it. Any other app developer would tick “Support iPad” and be done with it, but not us!

PlantPal utilizes a triple-column layout on the iPad, making it easier to navigate between the many properties you have, or to track your outstanding tasks. You can also bring PlantPal side-by-side with any other app, such as Calendar or Notes.

For existing iPhone users—you should not notice a change at all, and that’s the goal!

### UI Improvements ###

We put our efforts into a few serious improvements. You’ll notice a header as you scroll down your plant’s info page. Some non-tappable stuff no longer appear tappable in the list of tasks.

There’s also a Welcome message when you launch PlantPal on a device for the first time. It helps you set up your first plant, or prompt you to wait for data to download from iCloud.

Plus, there’s a few localization fixes throughout the app. And a few bug fixes that used to crash the app, or leave information stale unless you manually intervene. Now the app should look and feel much more polished.

### Add more plants to care for ###

Starting with Version 2.0, you can add as many plants as you want. With a PlantPal Pro membership, you can track all care tasks in addition to watering. We hope this change brings it in line with how you use PlantPal, and when you’re ready to get more serious about home gardening, you can track all tasks that are important to the plants’ health and growth.

### Thank you ###

PlantPal would not be here without your support. We’d like to thank you for all the kind 5-star reviews, and all the feedback and suggestions. We have more features planned for all the Apple platforms—stay tuned!

As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or feedback.
