Is there a plant watering reminder app that doesn’t hide the useful parts behind premium?

I’m looking for a plant watering reminder app, but I keep running into the same problem. The app looks free, then the useful parts are either limited or pushed behind premium. I don’t mind paying for advanced features, but basic plant care should still be usable. I mainly need watering reminders, plant specific care, ability to save my plants, history of when I watered, and maybe photos/journal so I can see if the plant is improving. I’ve seen people mention Greg, Planta, PictureThis, and LetPlant. Any recommendations for something actually useful without feeling like everything is locked?

Is the spec breakdown for the UR9 on Tom’s Guide for real?

So I've been using a 2021 mid-range set for years and honestly thought it was fine for netflix and disney+. But then I saw those color gamut numbers for the hisense UR9 on Toms Guide and now I feel like I need an upgrade.

Is the upgrade actually worth it if im not a hardcore gamer? Rtings hasn't posted the full lab stuff yet so I'm flying blind here. But that RGB mini led tech is really making me considering of getting one. Any thoughts?

What’s the best plant care app right now? Planta, Greg, PictureThis, LetPlant?

I’m trying to find a plant care app that actually helps with keeping houseplants alive, not just identifying them once. I’ve seen people mention Planta, Greg, PictureThis, and recently LetPlant. My main problem is that most apps seem useful at first, then the helpful features either feel too generic or end up behind a subscription. I’m looking for watering reminders, plant diagnosis, care history, progress photos, beginner-friendly guidance, and not locking every basic feature behind premium. Has anyone used any of these properly? Which one is actually worth using for indoor plants?

My yard is around 2000sqm and have some tall walls. The lawn isn’t perfectly flat. There are some uneven patches, light slopes, and a few flower beds, so edge cutting and stability is pretty important for me, so edge cutting and stability are pretty important for me. I’ve been looking into robot lawn mowers and might get one. The a3000 lidar pro looks like it could work for my setup, but I’m still unsure how it actually performs in a real garden. My main concern is how well it handles everyday obstacles like tree roots and random clutter, and whether it runs smoothly in day-to-day use.

Just wondering if this is the right one for my yard, or if I should be looking at something else? Would love to hear some real experiences before deciding, thanks!

Im web operator with no formal coding background, but I have built a few web myself. At first, I relied on wordpress + elementor and expensive shopify templates. The problem was that I always needed to make custom changes, so I ended up teaching myself some css and using AI doublecheck code. That actually helped me achieve things I couldnt do with templates alone. But it was still hassle, each AI would give me different code, and I had to try them one by one to see which worked.

so I started using ai agents like openclaw or the newer acciowork. I set up coding bots with different models, mainly chatgpt and deepseek. They saved me the trouble of switching between apps and chatting with different AI, but in terms of code accuracy, I didn't see a huge improvement. I think the core issue is that AI doesnt understand the full context of website, or the user/me cant give precise enough instructions.

Do any of you have better approaches? And do you think AI could ever completely replace developers in the future?

PS I tried Manus to generate website, it looked more like a fancy pptx than a real website.
