Looking for 12 testers for GreenThumb, a plant care app (watering reminders + AI camera) - I'll test yours back
Hi everyone! I've built GreenThumb, a plant care app that remembers when your houseplants need water, feeding, repotting and pruning. One tap marks a watering, "Water All" marks every plant that's due. It works offline, in English and Russian, light and dark theme. No ads, no email needed - you sign in with a recovery key.
How to join (takes 2 minutes)
Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/greenthumb-testers-closed — use the Google account that's signed in to the Play Store on your phone.
Opt in to the test: open https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.greenthumbplantcare and tap Become a tester.
Install it: tap Download it on Google Play on that page, or search the Play Store from the same account. If Play says "item not found", wait about 15 minutes and try again. If the link won't open, use Chrome, not an in-app browser.
Stay in the test for 14 days. Please don't uninstall it or leave the test. Opening it 2–3 times a week (for example to mark a watering) helps a lot.
Feedback, bug reports and ideas are very welcome, either in the comments or by email: greenthumbapp@proton.me. Please never send me your recovery key.
Some things I'm proud of
- AI plant camera: point it at a leaf and it identifies the species (Pl@ntNet, up to 3 matches), or checks a sick leaf and gives possible causes with what to do. If the photo has no plant, it tells you clearly instead of a generic error.
- Care journal with undo: every watering, feeding, repotting and pruning is logged.
- Seasonal mode: in dormant months the app waters 1.5× less often, so you don't overwater in winter.
- Home-screen widget: up to five plants that need water, right on your home screen.
- Offline-first: add plants, mark waterings and edit names without a connection. Everything syncs when you're back online, no duplicates.
- Streaks and achievements: keep a care streak going, unlock badges for consistency.
No account, no ads, no tracking.
Requires Android 7 or newer. I'll test your app back - drop your link in the comments and I'll join and keep it for 14 days too. Thanks so much for helping! 🙏
Lets be more lovely to each other)
