Orchidaceae - The Orchid Family 1.0.0.0

Learn about the characteristics of orchids and get some recommendations on how to grow them
A lot of people appreciate the beauty of flowers and many are those who love to take care of them and spend a lot of time in the personal garden or tending the flowers they keep inside their apartments.

Orchids are among the most valued flowers, recognized for their distinct beauty and fragrance, so there will always be plenty of users on the look out for tips and advice on how to take care of them.

Windows Phone users can try a specialized app called Orchidaceae - The Orchid Family that brings some useful information about these flowers.

Vividly colored GUI with a simple look

The application comes with a decent interface, where the content is fairly well organized into several sections that can be accessed from the main screen. The navigation among the various areas is good, but has some slight delays, while occasionally some reminders that prompt you to rate and review the application will appear.

The images included inside this utility are not of the highest quality and some appear distorted due to a redimensioning that may have occurred somewhere in the process of their inclusion in Orchidaceae - The Orchid Family.

Read some common facts about the orchids and their cultivation

This app comes with a set of details that pertain first of all to the main characteristics of the flowers belonging to the extended Orchidaceae family. A more elaborate section is the one reserved to the organization of the flower, so you can read about the defining features of these plants.

The module that hosts the information concerning the cultivation of orchids is also more detailed and there are plenty of useful tips that describe techniques for keeping the flowers happy.

Unfortunately, as is the case with the last section mentioned above, the information is not complete and the texts in both areas cut off suddenly, so you cannot get all the details.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
 

The looks of this utility may have plenty of color, but the image quality and the glitches in browsing through the few modules will certainly make it less appealing to the users.

Function6
 

The app starts off with a very good intention and offers a good deal of details, but the fact that the information is incomplete makes it lose a lot, as it will deter many people from installing it.

Security9
 

This utility is pretty much safe to have, as it doesn't look into secure areas of the system and only needs access right for looking into the music library.

Battery9
 

Orchidaceae - The Orchid Family is very light on the power consumption as it only needs a small amount of energy to run and this makes the battery usage remain at very low levels.

Price7
 

The app may be a good source of information, but the incomplete data and other drawbacks decrease its value.

Only users with handsets powered by Windows Phone 8 or above can have this utility installed and running onto their devices.
