Yard Mastery: Lawn Care App

Lots of sales pitching , buy this , buy that. I didn't like how you couldn't back out of the application by using the usual home screen arrow. You have to press the home button to get out of the app. Any app that doesn't allow me to back out/close it I usually end up deleting it from my galaxy s22+. It didn't really offer me anything I needed , other than soil temp but I can get that 100 different ways. It may be helpful to some but definitely not a necessity on my phone.

Good app. Something I noticed - When you go in and create a journal entry, it creates it twice. Had to delete one of them. Not sure if others have this problem as well. After you enter all your data in the journal entry, what action actually creates the journal entry is unclear. There is a back arrow and the journal entry button itself is actionable. Also, the ability to specify time when making journal entries would be nice. Right now it defaults to the time when I enter it.

I like the enhancements being made lately so look forward to the continued development. I tried to upload pictures today and it wouldn't let me tag multiple pictures at the same time and upload them all at once so that was a bit of a bummer. I am using some non YM products and I would have expected at least to manually add them in instead of using 'other' and I found the measurements/rate selection to be a bit confusing. I have some that are powder, liquid, granular.

Last year the app was great. Started using it again this spring and I no longer like it or use it. The calendar function is now bad. I used to be able to open the calendar, go into list view and I could scroll through the days and see everything I did on any day. At first I thought that things I had done were somehow deleted. It turns out that I now need to open a folder under the day to see what I had done. Calendar view is worse to navigate through. Back to using Excel!

So far so good! I understand the app is in early beta. I like the digital journal as well as the average soil temp. However, deleting a journal entry is possible by swiping it to the left. But there is no indication that that is what you have to do. So some folks may not know that you have to do this as opposed to, say, a long press. Also, I get a database error message when I try to enter in notes in a journal entry that are 256 characters or longer. 255 characters saves just fine. It appears as if the notes field is set to a varchar(255). So I feel that the field should either be set to a "text()/mediumtext()" or the UI should cap the entry box to 255 characters so that the user cannot type more than that. (sorry, my software developer side is showing!)
