How can we help?

When you first open the app you need to select your region so the app can give you the most relevant planting recommendations. Let us know if your region isn’t listed and we will happily add it for you. You can return to this screen at any time with the settings icon.

The main calendar view shows the days of the currently selected month and the matching moon for each day. Scroll left and right to view the entire month. Tap the today icon to jump back to today; tap the calendar icon to select a different month.

Below the calendar are the planting recommendations, colour-coded to the different phases that occur in the selected month. The Plant Now section gives you a summary of what you should be focusing on now, while Upcoming shows what to plan for in the next moon phase.

As a general guide: sow plants grown for their leaves during the Waxing New Moon (green), plants grown for their fruit or seed in the Half Moon (red), and root crops during the Full Moon (orange). The Waning Moon (dark) is not a good time for planting — use it for other activities such as soil preparation.

Tap the moon image for any day of the currently selected month to add notes for that day. Days that have notes added to them are indicated by a yellow star.

Swipe left on the planting recommendations section to see your next 10 upcoming notes. Tap a note to view or edit it.

Cloud Backup & Sync is an optional feature that lets you securely back up your planting diary, harvest logs, notes, and reminders to the cloud — and access them on multiple devices.

To enable it, go to Settings → Backup & Sync and sign in with your Google or Apple account. Once enabled, your data is automatically backed up whenever you make changes. If you install the app on a new device and sign in with the same account, your data will be automatically restored.

Cloud Backup & Sync is entirely optional — if you don’t enable it, all your data stays on your device only.

If you had Cloud Backup & Sync enabled on your previous device:

• Install the app on your new device.
• Go to Settings → Backup & Sync.
• Enable Cloud Backup & Sync and sign in with the same Google or Apple account.
• If a cloud backup is found, you will be prompted to restore it.

If you didn’t have Cloud Backup & Sync enabled, your data was stored locally only and cannot be recovered from the cloud. We recommend enabling it to protect your data going forward.

Yes — restoring from a cloud backup replaces your current local data. If you’ve made changes on your device since your last backup (for example, after reinstalling the app), those changes will be lost if you restore an older backup.

The app will always show you a prompt before restoring, so you can choose whether to proceed. If you decline, your local data is kept as-is and a fresh backup will be created from your current data instead. You can check when your last cloud backup was taken from Settings → Backup & Sync before deciding.

If you have signed in with Google or Apple to use Cloud Backup & Sync, you can permanently delete your account and all associated cloud data from within the app:

• Go to Settings → Backup & Sync.
• Tap Delete cloud backup data.
• Confirm the deletion.

This permanently removes your backup data and account from our servers. Your local data on the device is not affected.

If you’re unable to access the app, you can request data deletion by emailing us at support@lunarplantingguide.com.

You can delete your cloud backup at any time from within the app. Go to Settings → Backup & Sync, then tap Delete Backup. This permanently removes your backup data from our servers.

Disabling Cloud Backup & Sync does not automatically delete your cloud backup — you must use the Delete Backup option to remove it from the cloud. Your local data on the device is never affected.

From version 5.4, new users can enjoy the full version of the app, including regional planting suggestions, free for 14 days. After that you’ll need to choose a subscription option. This supports the developer, enabling us to continue working on the app and adding new features.

You can subscribe monthly or yearly. The subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

A one-time lifetime membership payment is also available.

You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time via your app store account settings:

• iPhone/iPad: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions
• Android: Google Play → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions

Go to the app settings and tap Restore Purchases. Make sure you’re logged into the correct Apple ID or Google account. If this doesn’t work, please email us and we’ll sort something out so you can upgrade.

Email us and we’ll happily add it for you.
