Muli Mobile has released FlowerPedia 1.2, an update of the flower identification engine and encyclopedia for the iPhone and iPod touch. It’s available for US$4.99 at the Apple App Store.
The new release focuses on improving the overall user experience with a simplified user interface, improved flower search, improved flower photo gallery and more flower photos. FlowerPedia presents 1,500 flower photos, organized by family and photo rating. You can view a slideshow of flowers like roses, lilies, orchids, hibiscus, tulips, daisies and more. FlowerPedia features user ratings, encyclopedic information and a flower identification wizard.
Users are given the option to rate each photo according to their own taste. In FlowerPedia’s gallery view users can chose to browse everything, or just their Top Rated photos.
You can select a flower picture to see the flower names—common and scientific; its identifying features, and what family and genus it belongs to. Gardening tips and medicinal properties are coming to the app soon. FlowerPedia contains information covering over 100,000 flowering plant species, including wildflowers, belonging to 500 genera in over 100 families.
You can use FlowerPedia’s flower identification wizard to identify flowers based on their physical characteristics. The search covers 70-100 percent of any North American region’s flowering plant species, and up to 90 percent in Europe, Asia and Australia. Each of the 1,500 flower photos can be emailed or used as a background on the iPhone and iPod touch.
