Garden Tracker 1.0.0.0
For those who like to keep a neat order in the actions they take, getting a bit of help from a specialized tool could be the much needed assistance they look for. Garden Tracker is one Windows Phone utility that will surely come in handy by providing useful notifications for important actions regarding the plants in your garden.
Simple interface with a decent organization of the content
This app comes with a decent look, featuring a suggestive background image inspired by a green garden, but its quality is not too great. Fortunately, the functions and commands are placed conveniently, so as to ensure everything is at hand and easy to reach.
The navigation inside the application is smooth, without any delays or some other sort of glitches, so moving from one section to another is done effortlessly. A noticeable letdown is the presence of some animated ad banners that are displayed in the upper part of the screen and can be very disruptive.
Create quick reminders and review the log of passed tasks
With Garden Tracker you have the possibility to add a variety of reminders that when their time arrives, will let you know it's time to take care of a certain job in the garden. Thus, you can activate notifications for fertilizing, harvesting or mowing plants, as well as for other important tasks like watering the flowers, trimming or spraying them to eliminate and prevent pests.
All the reminders that are complete will pass in to the "History" area from where you can restore them if necessary or simply delete them. Note that in the trial version at most 2 reminders can be added and the search function in the "History" section is not available until a purchase is made.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The appearance of Garden Tracker is decent but lacking visual appeal and with some pesky ads inside, while the good organization of the content and smooth navigation are its main strong points here. |
Function7
The application offers a convenient way of adding reminders, but users cannot set recurring events or rearrange the items inside the main list. The ability to pin reminders to the Start screen is a definite plus. |
Security7
This utility needs to look into several areas of the system where personal or otherwise sensitive data is stored, without having a good reason to do so. |
Battery7
The resource usage is quite noticeable as the app needs a significant amount of power to function properly. |
Price8
Garden Tracker is indeed a useful tool that any plantsman will appreciate, but there are some improvements that need to be made for both form and functionality. |
Compatibility9
With minimal requirements, this app is ready to run on pretty much any Windows Phone device out there, provided it is powered by at least version 7.5 of the operating system. |
