I use version 1.0.5 from F-droid on Android 7.1 on a Samsung phone. I get the OS crash popup almost once a day.

Notifications are very useful for this app, however when staying up late or laying in bed reading etc I frequently receive notifications to water my plants. I have no interest whatsoever to do that at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Wouldn't it make sense to only issue reminder notifications during daytime?

When adding a plant, if I tap on the FREQUENCY field and type 5, I get 05 because the initial 0 is still there. For ease of reading, I think it would be better to have just 5.

There are multiple ways of improving this, of course. For example, you could auto-select the text, so that the entered value overrides the existing value. You could also just auto-format the number to remove any leading zeroes. I'm sure there are other options, too.

When I first went to take a picture, I couldn't find the trigger button. It was only by accident that I discovered it when I dragged my finger up from the bottom to the top. When I did take a picture, I noticed that the top of the picture I took was not visible in the camera view while the button was visible at the bottom. I suspect there's something funny about the vertical dimension of the camera view on my phone (Moto G5 Plus, Android 8.1.0), because I don't think you would make it necessary to scroll to get to the button.

Let me know if there's more information I can provide to help.

Hello & thanks for this neat helper :-)

I'm noticing a small… Large… Size issue on a Fairphone 3+ screen with default font-size configured in /e/ OS: the WATER NOW button is only visible without scrolling when the plant name has 7 letters or less.

Any longer name creates a linebreak, which in combination with the 2-line water every … and watered … lines push the button down. The fontSizes and SizedBox(heights are surprisingly large by default, so even reducing the OS font size provides shifts the display problem by only 1 character.

I know one can swipe on the main screen. However, if one is on the plant's own screen for any reason, it's still a bit strange to have to scroll down for the main action.

Therefore: Could the screen please be compacted a little bit? For example as in my compact-plant-show-screen branch? Please feel free to pull that, if you find it useful.

Alternative ideas:

a) Could the icon on the main screen be turned into a button, so that going into screens/plant_show is only necessary for checking the stats?

b) The water droplet icon could be moved to the same line as the plant name.

c) The WATER NOW button could be moved above all other text on screens/plant_show.

Currently

When tapping Water Now the info watered x days ago is updated. But to move to the next plant, user have to tap back arrow first.

Expected

There is nothing much to do after tapping Water Now for a specific plant entry. It would be convenient to automatically navigate users to main view after that action so that they can continue with the next plant entry.

Bonus points for not using all caps for the Water Now button. There's no need to scream at the user at that point in time :)
