What’s included

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

  • Profile with tabs
  • User settings

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.

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.😉👍

@Joni2017, That’s actually a pretty interesting idea. Rewarding growers for quality grow journals could definitely boost engagement. In the meantime, I’m happy enough earning free seeds and discounts from breeders like The Seed Pharm when they run promos. 😄

@Genta, The proposal primarily aims to resolve the delays in cash payments for competitions, and to implement everything else as well.😉

Hey guys, glad you decided to finally make an app☺️ First 3 findings: - App crashes on diaries tab when you start scrolling down - Overall long loading time of elements while browsing through tabs - No dark mode is unacceptable 😆 Until now I've used the site as a shortcut on the phone and it kinda works like an app. It's a workaround though. But I do have to say I actually like it better than the current app. It's more cozy and well designed.😬

@TrippyTerps, scroll crash for Android app is fixed today in the latest release 0.1.300. We are constantly working on improving the overall speed of the platform. Dark mode is on the way as well as many other features. Enable push notifications to stay tuned and thank you for the feedback 😎

Please also add the possibility to change the default order in diaries. It'd be lovely if one could start out with the last week when viewing random diaries ;)

@mjumbo, you can use built-in reporting tools like taking a screenshot in iOS, or use our contact form, or use info@growdiaries.com/ email. Or just post here and we'll work things out 😸
