Missing lots of common trees
The app has useful features to assist with species identification but is missing many common trees. This is disappointing. The app says that new trees are added regularly but there is no sign this is happening as the last update was over a year ago.
Difficult to select the correct answers to questions asked
I have tried using both bark and leaf identification. However, I cannot find the right choice of answer to each question. Even with trees I know, entering answers I perceive as correct, leads me to the wrong tree! I have failed on many occasions to get the correct answers for Ash, and I know I am trying to “identify “ an Ash tree.

Useless for identifying a tree
Interesting information about the trees in its inventory, but absolutely useless for actively trying to identify one. Can’t upload photos and the prompts I answered somehow yielded a result of ‘monkey puzzle tree’ - the leaf is rounded and alternate in the stem, in no way spiky! How the app came to that conclusion, I have no idea.

Free but useless
Did not work on my iPhone. Also it seems it does not use any smart phone features it’s just a lookup. I tried it on one tree it came up with 77 types of leaves. How are you supposed to go through them?
Patchy results
I’ve tried on numerous trees that I already know and it’s as likely to suggest holly in place of beech. Disappointing
Great app
This app is almost exactly what I was looking for ! Really appreciate that it works offline and that the descriptions are so clear and informative. Would like clearer images of the tree profile, maybe an illustration ? And a ‘snap’ like game or something similar so I can practice remembering which trees have which features !
Thanks for the great app and all the work the charity does :))

Saved trees disappeared
Lovely app! Although I’m gutted to see the trees I saved yesterday are no longer there.
Also, it would be nice if the app allowed you to save more than 1 picture of a tree. I would have liked to take one of the tree it’s self and the leaves to refer back to.
As someone in the beginning stages of identifying trees, this app has been really useful.

Nice informative app
Lovely informative app and although sometimes the identification can be off - the information provided about the trees is excellent and you can normally get what you need. What I’d also love in the series of pictures that you get with the trees is a black and white profile - sometimes you can get a lot from a profile of a tree. I make models and although pictures are great it’s nice to understand the branch structure. Enjoy using!

crazy
I got the app and tested it out
on a tree I know. It came up with compelety different answers including a monkey tree when it didn't look like one.

Don’t bother - what a disappointing app
OK, this negates having a heavy book in your pocket but that’s where its usefulness ends. The inability to upload photos of leaves, branches, blossom or buds in order to identify trees is beyond disappointing. I was sent a photo from a friend and used Plant Net to name the tree in seconds. This app is stuck in the pre-internet age of identification. Fine if you wish to teach time-consuming, walk-interrupting observational skills but poor if you wish to awaken and build on interest in nature.

Every Tree is a Monkey Puzzle
Same as other reviews, I entered the details of known trees. Weeping willow is a……..monkey puzzle! Lost confidence in the app.
Shame.
Shame.
Useless
I’ve had this app a while now and I’ve not been able to successfully identify a single tree. Common species like oak and chesnut I already know so I’ve only used it for slightly more obscure trees. You’ll select all the best matching features and then at the end you get given a few species of tree that you can tell visibly from the photos are nothing like the one you’re looking at. Most common trees can be learnt from watching a quick youtube video so I don’t really see the use of this app if you can’t use it to identify more obscure species.

Monkey Puzzle Tree
Just to let u know there are a lot of Monkey Puzzle trees in Leighton Buzzard Bedfordshire off Plantation road
Very helpful!!
This app has helped me identify so many trees!! It’s simple and accurate,I gave it 4 stars because most of the trees look different to the pictures but it’s still a great app!
Good for identifying trees but privacy concern
I’ve seen “app has pasted from messages” iOS notification more than once whilst using this app. I hope this is a bug that will be fixed and not something more sinister as I’d like to be able to review more highly; it’s quite good for the tree identification.
Frustratingly never identifies
Not easy to complete, hasn’t successfully identified a tree once. Frustrating and expected better.
Fails to ‘save’ your trees
I like this app and appreciate the work that has gone into it for a free app. However, unfortunately the ‘save your tree’ function, which should allow users to record on the map tress they identify does not work. ‘My saved trees’ is still zero despite having saved numerous specimens to the map.
Still no idea what tree it is
Maybe I’m just not using it properly but I’ve never actually successfully identified a tree with this app. Surely one where you photograph the leaf would be better? I can do this with wine but not trees!
Nice layout and info but failed to ID trees
I really wanted this app to be great given it’s from Woodland Trust. Plus points are layout and ease of use. But when I went through the various questions to ID a few trees, the results I either knew were wrong or looked nothing like the tree in front of me. Maybe I’m on a different wavelength to whoever designed the question process. Deleted the app immediately. Shame.
