About Bonsai Album Lite
** Note: This is the free Lite version of Bonsai Album. The Lite version is almost identical to the full version, but only allows you to store up to 3 bonsai, 3 pots, and 3 log entries with 3 photos each. It also includes database backup and export over WiFi (but not restore/import), allowing easy upgrade to the full version. The full version has no such limitations. **
