## What is Arboreal Forest?

Arboreal Forest — Forest Inventory App

Used by professional foresters, forest engineers, and land managers across Europe. Validated in peer-reviewed research and awarded best mobile app for forest measurements.

Measure everything that matters

Diameter and basal area
Trees per hectare
Stand volume
Tree height
Tree species

2.5x faster than traditional methods
Arboreal Forest replaces manual tools with AR and LiDAR technology. You get compiled results immediately — no office work needed afterwards.

Sub-centimeter accuracy
Diameter measurements validated against manual measurements in a 2024 scientific study show sub-centimeter accuracy. In a 2023 comparison against competing apps, Arboreal Forest outperformed competitors on diameter and trees per hectare.

Built for real fieldwork

Works offline — no signal needed in the forest
All data synced to the cloud automatically
Export via REST API to your own systems
No reference sticks or additional tools required
Familiar workflow if you have measured sample plots before

Trusted by leading forestry organisations
Sveaskog, Suzano, Forest Design, Treemetrics, Skogshubben, The Navigator Company, and Palos — among others — rely on Arboreal Forest for professional forest inventory.

"We measured the diameter of 10,236 trees and the systematic error was less than 1 mm."
— Guilherme Fonseca, Forest Engineer, Suzano

"The measurements in the forest are much smoother and go faster. I get summary and compiled data to interpret directly in the app."
— Sara Brandén, Area Manager, Sveaskog

### 5/5 — Great Idea & Implementation

*2024-10-28*

This app has made managing the woods around my farm much more efficient.

### 2/5 — In app purchase

*2022-04-15*

The idea of this app is attractive and i would like to test it . But  in app purchase is limit just for one week or a month ☹️and i can not finish my work at this time ,, after this time what should i do ?? Could you guide me ???

**Developer response:** You need an active subscription to measure, but you will always have access to your measurements.

You could measure one week. Cancel the subscription. Then activate it next time you want to measure. In that way you only pay when you need to make new measurements.

### 1/5 — I would like a refund

*2021-07-01*

I have tried this app to measure a ten acre forest that burned in order to determine the volume of material to be removed.

This app just does not work.  I have tried 4 times to measure as small a group as 4 trees and there is always a tree height that simply will not measure.  Also the tree species is very limited and does not cover the tree types we have here.

The idea of this app is compelling, but my experience has been weak enough for me to request a refund or some real help getting it to work.  The tutorial is unhelpful with the issues I have found.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. 

If you create an account you will get more information about how to use the app. 

For example, in order to measure the height you need to be further away than 4 meters. I guess that you were to close to the tree…

There is different species in different countries. There is more than 1000 species in the world and we will add species that are requested by the users. Please mail the species to us and we will add them to your country.

### 1/5 — Not accurate at all, can not be used

*2020-09-11*

I get values from 30 to 45 cm DHB while measuring one tree and doing the exact same procedure every time.
