Fascinating project!
Definitely a unique app that I knew I wanted to go find and support as soon I read about it. On a first look at just the parts of the park I know best, it’s a mostly good experience - I do see some incorrect IDs (several mature juneberry trees shown as mulberry) and some very offputting content (super weird vibe in the Untermeyer Fountain description). If they would modernize the editorial approach and update at least the major features and statues that have changed since 2015, the app would be more accessible. But even as a time capsule, it’s still an interesting project.

Great for Birding
This app is great for finding your way around Central Park even if you never use the info about trees. I use this app whenever I do birding in Central Park.
Love it
I’ve been a Volunteer in Central Psrk for 10 years. I’m in the park at least 6 hours every week. I know quite a bit about the park. Yet I find this app to be very useful. I use it often.
Amazing!

Fantastic app. Really wonderful.
I was a bit worried it would be out of date (software wise) but this app works flawlessly in 2021 both on iPhone and my iPad. And from what I’ve seen, it’s pretty up-to-date on trees too, based on my limited use. I do wish it had progressed more, with a visual glossary, better zoom (north woods are a bit too dense to easily find trees), etc, but already there’s an enormous amount of work gone into it for such a little price. Every park in the world should have such an app.
