Plants & Flowers Manager 1.2.1.0
For Windows Phone users there are a few utilities especially tailored to take care of this potential problem and one of them goes by the name of Plants & Flowers Manager.
Plain and uncomplicated front-end, made to be used with great ease
The looks of this application are leaning a lot towards the practical aspect and are less visually appealing. The graphics are simple, yet suggestive, while the commands and functions are kept at hand, in the menu that is hosted in the lower side of the screen.
The content is nonetheless, kept fairly well organized and the plants are ordered in the main screen according to their current need. If everything is provided for each of them, the flowers will appear in the same order they were added in the database.
Add new plants and edit the existing ones on the go
With Plants & Flowers Manager you will be able to create a catalog with all the plants in your garden or on the balcony of your apartment. For each fresh entry in the database you will only have to specify the name, water and fertilizer intervals, as well as the last time these tasks were carried out.
By selecting any of the items on the main list you can not only view and edit the information corresponding to each flower, but you also have the possibility to record a water or fertilize operation you just carried out.
View pending tasks on the live tile and backup or restore plant data in the cloud
This utility integrates seamlessly with your OneDrive account, thus allowing you to transfer the plants and flowers details on the fly. The restoration of the data kept safely in the cloud is also possible and just as easy to complete.
On the tile that you pin to the Start screen you will see the number of plants that are in need of attention, without any other, more specific information.
