Where to find each GrowScope feature — step-by-step routes
For every GrowScope feature this page lists: its name in the interface and other names people use, where it lives (screen → section → button), what you need to access it, how to run it, where the result appears, and what to do if you can’t see it.
Routes are written from the code of the live app and updated whenever navigation changes. Button names are quoted exactly as they appear in the English interface.
Mobile vs desktop
The mobile and desktop versions are the same: the app runs at growscope.uk/app/ as a single column with a bottom menu of four tabs — “Today”, “Plants”, “Tent”, “Comparison”. Settings open from the avatar at the top right; the Archive opens from “Comparison”. On a computer the only difference is that features needing the phone’s camera, motion sensor or Bluetooth should be run from a phone.
A direct link opens the app straight on the right screen (after sign-in and encryption unlock). For features that need a plant you can append &plant=<id>; without it the current plant is used.
