DESCRIPTION
Use UptoPlay to play online the game UrbanGardener.
Urban Gardener is an app that aims to become the best gardening helper out there, due to its excellent memory, organising capabilities and infinite library of essential information.
The app is for anyone looking to get into gardening as it can guide the user all throughout the season, by providing information such as when, where, how and what to plant, what needs to be done next, what tools to use, what the weather is going to be like and when its time to harvest.
How does it work? First, when launching the app, their user will pick the preferred vegetables and their quantities. The app will then generate a plan of the garden placing the plants on raised beds using principles of permaculture. Integrating permaculture means that the app can look at plant compatibilities and using a genetic algorithm, can then generate the best possible garden plan. This means the plants will be placed strategically so that they can help each other, repel pests together and never fight for the same nutrients that are necessary for proper growth. After generating the plan, the app will guide you day by day, organise your tasks in a calendar, send you reminders and give you a detailed overview of all the plants in your garden and their life cycles.
The aim of this project is to promote local, small-scale & organic agriculture, which will have a positive impact on the environment, keep soil healthy, provide nutritious produce and help people rediscover their connection to nature.
We hope you find this application useful and that youll take some time to leave us feedback as to improve the application.
We want to mention this is a MVP, a prototype and our purpose for the moment is to further develop it based on user feedback.
Thank you & enjoy gardening,
UrbanGardener Team!

Comments:
App is pretty and seems promising. However I found it unnecessarily complex yet lacking. Lots of hand holding for beginners that ends up feeling restrictive for someone who just wants to get more organized with tasks. It has a short list of vegetables, but forces you to fill up the plot with them. Couldn't get through that so I uninstalled. Not to mention it forces you to trace your garden from a satellite map of your area. I find it creepy that a gardening app asks for location permission.
I would like it if the plants in the app had labels instead of just icons. I don't recognize a lot of them by their leaves.
I was unable to register. It rejected numerous passwords without explanation or guidelines. And there is no way to contact a help desk/tech support.
Registration process didn't work......Tried multiple passwords to register but the app rejected them all. No password guidelines available at sign-up. Pity!
Amazing application for any beginner gardener. Easy to use and very helpful.'
