Gardening 1

A simple app that brings you a set of useful advice that will help you take care of your garden
Many of those who like to spend a lot of time attending to the flowers and other plants in and around the house like to stay informed and learn more about all things related to gardening.

Windows Phone users have at their disposal several utilities that are created to offer some handy articles and tips that users will enjoy reading to extract some original ideas that they can put into practice. One of those apps tat can be installed in a jiffy goes by the suggestive name of Gardening.

Nice and easy to use interface

The application comes with a neat look that owes its appealing aspect to a beautiful background image that displays a close up shot of some splendid garden flowers. The content is kept neatly organized inside a simple list, where all the articles are included for easy access.

Browsing the entries displayed inside the main screen and navigating through the data contained by each article is smooth and without any delays or other kind of glitches.

Read the tips and cultivation advice on the go

Gardening offers you a small set of articles and you can pick any of them to open and read at a glance. The textual content is accompanied by relevant images inside each listing and you can open the pictures separately to have a closer look at them.

If the selected piece of news or advice got your attention and you want to read the full story, from the main menu hosted in the lower side of the screen you can access the source page with one tap.

Share the information and pin articles to the Start screen

This utility will make it possible for you to easily distribute the content to your friends by using several methods. Thus, you can share the link to the original article, send only the image or the entire content shown inside Gardening via SMS, email or through social networks.

In case you want to keep at hand some of the articles, there is an option for pinning a shortcut tile to the Start screen, so you will be one tap away from that info.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
 

The nice feel of the interface, with the beautiful background photo and the smooth navigation offered by the application help it score very well from the visual perspective.

Function5
 

The very small number of articles offered to its users is a big letdown, despite the neat sharing possibilities and other extras of Gardening.

Security5
 

The utility needs to access several secure areas of the system, like the phone dialer owner identities, maps and location services for no good reason.

Battery9
 

Thanks to a very small amount of power needed to function, the app manages to keep the battery usage at very low levels.

Price6
 

There are too few articles for users to read and the security concerns may turn away many of those who intend to give it a try.

Compatibility8
 

Only those who have at their disposal a Windows Phone 8 and above handset will be able to install and use this application.
