Spring is upon us, Bob Jones, and with every change of season comes a new app craze to occupy our attention and conversations. Blooming in relevance this spring is Plant Nanny, an iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch-friendly app centered around promoting the combination of healthy habits and fun.

Plant Nanny focuses on a basic need we experience every day: hydration. It’s often difficult, not only to estimate the amount of water you should drink on a daily basis, but to remember to actually drink it! The fast pace life styles we all seem to engage in leave little time to keep track of our hydration levels. Well, now that task is made simple! With the help of an endearing plant, the app relays to you the amount of water you should consume each day based on your activity level and weight. The next step is setting a water intake goal that you can reasonably meet each day. It is important to not be too unrealistic when creating your goal as the survival of the plant now rests on your water consumption. When you drink, it drinks.

There are many beneficial elements to this app, including its endorsement of a healthy lifestyle. With its engaging design and diverse settings options, the app is extremely low maintenance in its appreciated simplicity. Additionally, the app is ideal for all age groups, whether it be smaller children beginning to acquire health habits or young adults, constantly on the run and in need of a reminder to be kind to their bodies.

Over all, this app is a definite home run.  Not only does it perfectly embody the collaboration of the “get fit” sensation and the need for technological regularity, it also maintains a user-friendly vibe that can be appreciated by all consumers. According to senior Rose Butler, “It’s so straightforward and motivating. Plant Nanny has become a key part of my day!” Thanks to Plant Nanny, the seeds of healthy living have definitely been planted!
