GrowDiaries goes mobile

Big news, growers — GrowDiaries is going mobile. We’re excited to announce that our native apps are now in open testing, giving our community early access to a faster and more convenient mobile experience.

Join the test and help us improve the apps before the full release.

What’s included

The first open testing version includes the core features growers use every day:

  • Log in & Sign up
  • Profile with tabs
  • User settings
  • Full diary page
  • Diaries search
  • Commenting
  • Feed with updates
  • Add Diary interface (improved ;)

Our goal is to bring the essential GrowDiaries experience to mobile in a way that feels smooth, familiar, and easy to use.

Open testing is an important step in development. It helps us understand how the apps perform on different devices and what can be improved before a wider launch.

Hmm, unfortunately, I can't really get into the app. I think it's great that Growdiaries is evolving for mobile users. I also use it on my phone and decided years ago against this "type" of social media like Insta or FB. I find the app good, but it's just not for me; I'm either too slow in progress or too old school, as I prefer using the browser ๐Ÿ˜…. Good luck to the pioneers testing the beta, have fun with it ๐Ÿ˜Š!

Nice damn! I was using PWA with grower diaries! Good one! I donโ€™t need to use that damn Safari anymore. Was using this browser just only it allows to have progressive web app. Thanks

Great idea! A dark mode similar to the website's would be great. :) The possibility to access of article like strain section or question for beginner can be better for the app

Hihi, here my first feedback: The Burger Menu is a bit confusing, I would have expected direct links to my diaries and better wording to find my profile. And I can't zoom into photos of diaries, which is really important to see details on the plants. I'm using the android version. And my number one feature request would be a nice assistant to create new posts for my diaries, which can take photos and enhance them before post, so I don't have to use Google Photos anymore for that. Otherwise the app is working great so far!
GrowDiaries
GrowDiaries commented4mo ago
@InsideTheTent, we are working on fixing the full-screen zoom feature on Android. Great points on main menu usability, we'll consider implementing them. As for the AI assistant, it is a very anticipated feature that can bring a lot of value to our community. We are looking into adding it to our roadmap. Thank you for the feedback ๐Ÿ˜ธ

Unless I'm missing something, what Android version is this for? My tablet runs Android 15 and won't let me download it? Any help would be appreciated.

@GrimmCreeperZ, as of now Android and iOS apps only support mobile phones. Tablets support is on a roadmap after the full release ๐Ÿ™

wow! I always wanted the mobile app, I've left FB and Instagram behind, and definitely my only social network where I truly feel part of a community is @GrowDiaries! Thank you for making it possible, I've already downloaded the app and I'll be preparing my next grow to give it the use it deserves. Thank you so much @GrowDiaries ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐ŸŒฎ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿš€

Hello everyone just a suggestion that would be nice. itโ€™s to be able to separate our diaries into growing, extraction, cooking that could nicely separate so people can find what they want to learn. I would appreciate the change. thank you and keep it up
squalino
squalino commented4mo ago
@GrowDiaries, when creating the diary, being able to choose is a culture (plant like now) options for extraction leaf heads resin and extraction for dry sift bubble hash rosin oil and others and the method of proceeding and equipment and one for cooking made from which plant, what materials, leaf, hash, oil or other, and being able to cold hot dishes, appetizers, main courses, desserts, meatless, heat, oven, technique of difficulty, being able to describe the recipes.

@GrowDiaries, I'm missing webcams and sensors, pots and trellis netting, also equipment used after the harvest.
GrowDiaries
GrowDiaries commented4mo ago
@InsideTheTent, exactly our thinking! In the coming months we are planning to expand the equipment with tools and accessories for post-harvest, storing, processing and smoking. Stay tuned for the updates and thank you for the suggestions ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ™

Hello fellow growers! As dark mode is still under development, in the past few weeks we have released 2 features into public testing: - Chat - Grow Questions Contests will be in the apps shortly next. We are preparing for the full big release this summer, stay updated for the news

@GrowDiaries, I see the Grow Questions in the app, but where is the Chat?
GrowDiaries
GrowDiaries commented1mo ago
@DudeGrowsWeed, chat for iOS was released yesterday, please update to 0.1.470 build version. For Android it is 0.1.329 build version. You can find chat in Notifications bottom menu, same location as the web version.

As a beta tester, I suggest implementing a native token for the app. This would streamline prize payouts for international contests, removing borders and delays. Additionally, it would incentivize growers to keep their diaries updated through rewards for high-quality content. A circular economy within GrowDiaries would be a total game-changer.๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘
Genta
Genta commented2mo ago
@Joni2017, Thatโ€™s actually a pretty interesting idea. Rewarding growers for quality grow journals could definitely boost engagement. In the meantime, Iโ€™m happy enough earning free seeds and discounts from breeders like The Seed Pharm when they run promos. ๐Ÿ˜„
Joni2017
Joni2017 commented2mo ago
@Genta, The proposal primarily aims to resolve the delays in cash payments for competitions, and to implement everything else as well.๐Ÿ˜‰
