Put in the issues with my lawn and could not find anything wrong. A waste of money. Can get better with a search on internet for free.
i would have thought it would have been more useful than trying to answer questions if i had the answers too i wouldn’t need this app. i had to input all the answers to questions instead of the app giving me the the answers. sort of backwards for my needs. i guess i would like an app i could take a pic if the the problem and the app offers the solution.
Doesn’t help at all and makes you pay…terrible
Won’t give me any information after filling out the symptoms. Like the app is dead.
It a simple search filter and doesn’t even contain the data for the first search I did. There is a reason they make you pay before using it. Don’t buy this app! Waste of money!
Probably the worst lawn care/diagnostic app available. Purdue should be embarrassed to charge money for the lawn care app. You can get more valuable advice from your local garden center.
I downloaded this app thinking it would help me diagnose my lawn a little better. I’ve entered all the required information about my lawn and it shows no results after every entry unless this app gets revamped do not waste your money.👎🏽
It appears that App is no longer maintained. Total waste of money.
Dr. Richmond is the Chuck Norris of turf.
This app is very informative and takes an question out what the correct turf disease or fungus or insects and weeds your encountering while working in the field. If you want to make your job easier and be more productive and sure of the decisions and diagnosis that you make on residential or commercial properties then take the guess work out and download this app. You won't regret it !
