Manage your stress and anxiety by playing a virtual plant cultivation game. Take care of the environment, learn soft skills, initiate changes, improve your well-being, and grow every day. In these volatile and uncertain times, almost everyone suffers from stress, anxiety, and burnout, harming our health and well-being and preventing us from fully enjoying our lives. Our mission is to offer simple, fun, and engaging access to personal development and socio-emotional health, using gardening as a guiding thread to cultivate and foster a love for health and nature. Learn to grow your own plants while playing, developing key skills and healthy habits that will help you improve your life and the lives of those around you, with just a few minutes each day. Cultivate 9 key competencies. Each crop will represent a key life skill. Take care of your plants, and you’ll be improving your life. By learning, initiating changes, and persevering, you’ll gain the light, water, and gardening materials you need for your plants. Advance toward your harvest day by day: You’ll see your progress through the appearance of your plant and the health indicators on your main screen. When we enter the app for the first time, the Master Horticulturist gives us a cherry tomato seedling, just a few weeks old, which will represent our Self- Regulation competency. Its growth cycle will last 12 weeks, during which we’ll work on 12 key competencies, one each week, through a daily video micro-content, with one rest day at the end of each five-day weekly cycle. Each video will provide the light your plants need every day, and every five days, you can complete your weekly gardening task. The GrowersGo content team works passionately to identify, select, organize, and connect each grower with the most valuable content for each stage of their cultivation cycle, published on various platforms by our favorite creators in personal development and horticulture. Collect skill and habit cards in My Achievements, and gardening and pest cards in your gardening section. Irrigation water will be obtained by reporting compliance with our healthy habits, and you can earn more badges as you achieve streaks. Play Growleta to start building your gardens and feel encouraged to try it in the real world. **SUBSCRIPTIONS, TERMS, AND CONDITIONS** In GrowersGo, you can play with a Grow Free plan or a Grow Premium plan. With the Grow Free plan, you can watch the daily micro-content proposed by the Master, collect your skill, habit, gardening, and pest cards for your collection, and report habits simultaneously, but every time you need to provide light, water, apply care, watch your plant grow, and obtain gardening materials and new plants for your garden, you’ll have to watch a rewarded ad, through which you’ll gradually get everything you need to care for your plants. The Premium plans give you full access to the game, allowing you to: Provide light to your plant Water your plant Watch your plant grow and advance in its growth cycle towards fruit harvest Eradicate pests from your plant Reopen all cards and review their content whenever you want.

Chess Visualization is a complete training gym for the skill that decides many games: seeing the position before it appears on the board. THE BLUNDER CURE Many games are not lost to brilliance. They are lost to a piece left hanging. How can you blunder a piece next move when you have trained yourself to see many moves past it? Blunders are failures of sight, not knowledge — build the habit of looking further than your opponent and they quietly disappear from your games. SEE FURTHER THAN YOUR OPPONENT Visualize from 2 moves ahead up to 25, with audio read-back of every move so you can train your calculation with your eyes off the board. OVER 1.3 MILLION PUZZLES, ALWAYS OFFLINE The entire puzzle library lives on your device. Train at 35,000 feet, on the beach, or anywhere without a signal. FIND YOUR LEVEL AND CLIMB Rating ladder groups serve up random puzzles sorted into 200-point Elo bins, from under 600 all the way past 3000. Find your level, train slightly above it, master it, and move up. Difficulty also scales across five presets: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert and Titled Player. TACTICS, OPENINGS AND MATING PATTERNS Advanced tactical themes including collinear moves, deflection, interference and many more. Plus 19 distinct checkmating patterns, mate-in-1 through mate-in-5 challenges, and puzzles from 31 popular openings. ENDGAME MASTERY Many pre-defined endgame categories such as "King + 3 pawns vs. King + 2 pawns" or "Rook + 2 pawns vs. Rook + 3 pawns". Optionally play them out against the built-in engine until the technique is automatic. ENGINE ANALYSIS A built-in chess engine lets you analyze any position after you solve it, so you understand not just the answer but the reason behind it. LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES Every puzzle you miss is automatically collected in a dedicated group for review and repeated training, so weaknesses become strengths. STAY MOTIVATED A unique badge reward system tracks your progress and keeps you coming back to train. MAKE IT YOURS Customize your home view and pin only the puzzle sets you care about for instant access to your favorites. ON IPHONE AND IPAD Designed for both screens, with a large board and side panels on iPad. Your training statistics sync through iCloud, and one Premium subscription covers both devices. Download Chess Visualization and start calculating like a stronger player. Chess Visualization is free to use, with 10 puzzles to solve every day, indefinitely. An optional Premium subscription removes the daily limit.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GrowersGo at none against Chess Visualization's 5. GrowersGo also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Chess Visualization's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
