The latest major update introduced vertical planter support and garden planner improvements, but these gains are offset by stability regressions and monetization friction. While the rating delta shows a marginal increase of 0.15 stars, the small sample size and reports of freezing during bed creation result in a negative net impact. The transition of existing features to a paywall model is a primary driver of current user dissatisfaction.

New in this update:

- Added support for vertical planters and garden towers, including GreenStalk presets and custom tier/pocket layouts.
- Improved the Garden Planner with better multi-square plant footprints and new display options.
- Added blank-space placement for garden beds, so you can mark squares as grass, dirt, concrete, mulch, or rock.
- Improved Plant Now filters with separate indoor/outdoor options and new plant type filters.
- Optimized Growbot photo uploads for faster, more reliable image handling.
- Improved seed packet photo handling and general garden planner stability.
