A shared plant without ads or feeding

Widgetable is hugely popular (4.9 stars, about 387,000 US ratings, October 2026) for home-screen widgets and shared pets, but ads and buying pet food are the top complaints in its low-star reviews. If you like growing something together, Duoleaf's shared plant has no ads and nothing to feed or buy: it grows one leaf on every day you both do a gentle 2-minute session. It keeps every leaf, rests on rain days, and is free for both of you.

Android now, iPhone soon. Free for both of you; optional Duo Premium. Updated October 16, 2026.

Why Duoleaf: No ads, no feeding, no consumables: the plant grows from showing up.

Your plant keeps every leaf you grew. Pots and extra plants are Premium; the plant itself is free.

What Widgetable users complain about

Across App Store and Google Play low-star reviews we read in October 2026, ads were the biggest theme by far, often next to the feeding loop: "the amount of adds was ridiculous", and having to watch many ads for one piece of food. Others mention ads that run for minutes.

How the Duoleaf plant differs

  • It grows from doing, not feeding: one leaf on every day you both did your 2 minutes.
  • Nothing to buy for it: no food, no coins, no ads. Rain days are never sold.
  • Busy weeks are fine: if only one of you shows up the plant stays green; if you both miss, a rain day covers it.
  • It is kept: 5 stages from seed to bloom, and every past plant stays in your garden for good, free.

Where Widgetable is better

Widgetable has many widget types (photos, distance, notes, sleep), works on iPhone today, and lets you co-parent with friends. Duoleaf has one plant, one counter and a free Android widget; iPhone is on its way.
