New version 1.5 → 2.0

GardenPin 2.0 takes your garden map LIVE with AR (Augmented Reality)! • Live View (Pro): walk your garden with a live camera AR view and see a ring on the ground for every plant, with its photo and name above it. Tap one to open its page. Know what is sleeping where, even with nothing showing above ground. • Garden Markers: print a marker from Settings and stake it in the garden. Live View lines up on it at a glance, no waiting for GPS; a second marker locks the heading. Twelve designs, for 60, 100, 150 or 400 mm prints. • Place Precisely (Pro): tap the ground through the camera to put a plant exactly where it grows. • Layouts: keep more than one (live view) layout per garden and switch between them. • Your map view position learns from every Live View (Pro) walk and gets sharper over time. • Share a garden by link or QR code. • Fixes and polish throughout.

About

Identify a plant, pin it where it grows, then walk your garden with the camera and see every plant where it stands. GardenPin is the map of your garden! LIVE VIEW (Pro) — NEW IN 2.0 Hold up your iPhone or iPad and see your planted garden through the camera: a ring on the ground for every plant, with its photo and name floating above it. Walk the beds and the labels follow. Tap one to open the plant's page. Created for garden tours, planning, and the months when nothing shows above ground and you need to know what is sleeping where. GARDEN MARKERS — NEW Print a marker from Settings, stake it in the garden, and Live View lines up on it at a glance, no waiting for GPS. A second marker locks the heading. Twelve designs, for 100, 150 or 400 mm prints. PLACE PRECISELY (Pro) — NEW Tap the ground through the camera to place a plant exactly where it grows, to within a step. Your map's position sharpens with every walk. LAYOUTS Keep more than one layout per garden, this year's beds and last year's, and switch between them. Distances in meters or feet, your choice. IDENTIFY ANY PLANT Point the camera at a leaf, flower, or whole plant and get the common name, scientific name, and family. Your device identifies first and asks PlantNet only when it isn't sure, so many results are instant and need no connection. Every result shows whether the sources agree. Free users get 5 identifications a week; unlimited with Pro. SCAN THE NURSERY TAG (Pro) Photograph the care card that came with the plant. GardenPin reads it entirely on your device and fills in light, water, hardiness, and spacing. PIN IT ON YOUR GARDEN MAP (Pro) See what is planted where, tap a pin for its history, and keep several gardens, grouped however you like. Browse them as a photo grid, a map snapshot, or a plain list. Lists, grids, and plant pages are free. PRINT PLANT LABELS (Pro) Batch-print labels with a QR code for every plant via AirPrint. Scan a label in the garden to open that plant's page. CARE THAT CITES ITS SOURCE Every care detail says where it came from: the USDA PLANTS database for over 500 species, hardiness zones from Wikidata, houseplant care from PlantSolve, and, for plants none of those cover, sentences quoted from the plant's Wikipedia article with a link. Native, invasive, and noxious status by region is stored on your device. Care from a scanned tag always comes first. Nothing is generated, and no cloud AI service is involved. CARE REMINDERS & HEALTH Watering, feeding, and seasonal reminders per plant, with notes and photos to track how each one is doing. SHARE, SYNC, AND BACK UP Share a garden by link or QR code; anyone can browse it in a web browser, no account needed. Share with someone nearby over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. iCloud keeps your gardens on every device. Export to CSV or back up everything as JSON (Pro); restoring from a backup is always free. FAST WAYS IN "Identify a plant" from the Action Button, a home-screen widget, Control Center, or Siri. WHAT'S FREE • Plant identification, 5 per week • Unlimited plants, gardens, layouts, notes, photos, and reminders • Manual care entry, sharing, iCloud sync, backup restore WHAT PRO ADDS • Live View and Place Precisely • Unlimited identifications • Nursery-tag scanning • Garden map view precision • QR label printing • CSV export and JSON backup Weekly, annual, or a one-time Lifetime purchase.
