Garden Guide

Current Price: $1.99
My grade: 3/5

This app is a useful little app that allows you to keep a photo journal of your plants/herbs/vegetables as well as look up information about each one.

PROS

• Easy interface:  The graphics are easy on the eyes
• Water/light scale:  Lets you know how much water a plant requires, how much light and when the plant blooms
• Garden builder:  You can save the plants you have in your garden by adding them to your favorites.  You can then sort them by type, location and name
• Informative:  Contains information about soil preferences, zone hardiness, bloom time and weather preferences for each plant as well as a description and how to care for your plant.  You can learn about pests even if you aren’t experiencing any problems in your garden.

CONS

• Spelling:  Many grammatical errors when viewing details of each plant
• Variety:  More plants need to be added.  I found about 5% of the plants in my garden in this app.
• Pest Information:  The pests area should list some of the plants they are attracted to.
• Interactivity:  Only has a journal, but could benefit from a todo list for your garden with reminders and deadlines.

Overall the application is good if you want to learn about common pests and if you plan to journal your outdoor activities.
