Herbal Advisor 2.2.0.0
In case you are also interested in discovering some of the most well known and used medicinal plants, there is a utility you can keep on your Windows Phone just for this purpose and it goes by the name of Herbal Advisor.
Simple and nice looking GUI
A neat background inspired by the purpose of the app will greet you once you open the application. The arrangement of the entries contained in the main catalog will facilitate finding the herbs you are interested in, as the alphabetical structuring by the plants' common name is quite easy to understand and work with.
The images contained inside the app are of very good quality, so you can use them as references to compare the herbs you find in the fields or forests in order to get an accurate identification.
There is a glitch that can be quite irritating as it propagates to all entries with a longer bit of text, more precisely the last two rows are not visible because of the menu bar shown the lower part of the screen. You will have to press and hold the page while swiping upwards in order to read all the text.
Browse the catalog and read about the curative properties of the listed plants
Herbal Advisor contains a fairly good amount of information, even if the total figure is very small compared to the actual number of medicinal plants. Thus, you can find out the common and scientific names of each herb, as well as the healing characteristics of each of them.
Another way of getting to know these plants is by looking for them using as filter the therapeutic activity each of them has.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The appearance of this app is friendly and with a decent design that favors practicality over visual appeal. The smooth navigation thorough the long list is a plus, but there are some flaws in displaying the information that make it lose points here. |
Function7
The herb database is good but it contains only a reduced number of plants and there is no possibility of sharing any of the content. Fortunately, the app can work without an Internet connection, so it gains a few points for that. |
Security9
A fairly safe application on the whole, Herbal Advisor will only look into the phone identity area without any connection to its actual functionality. |
Battery9
The amount of energy needed by this utility to run is minimal, so the battery usage remains very low at all times. |
Price8
Since it offers a significant amount of useful information for free, the app has a very good value, but still needs some improvements. |
Compatibility9
The majority of Windows Phone users can have Herbal Advisor installed onto their handsets as it only needs version 7.5 and above of the operating system. |
