Doesn’t identify trees

Took pictures of a hack berry and it pulled up results for a monstera

Leaf it alone

This app doesn’t work. You take a picture of a tree and the press “start Identification” and app goes off to some unrelated leaf.

The Duke

The app has not identified any tree correctly

What the Heck?

More than half the right side is all about secondary languages. It was on Chinese, could not get it off the screen. Then it showed German. I can’t find local PNW trees at all, and there are no instructions. I’ve toyed with this for 30 minutes before heading out and I don’t see the apps utility. There must be a tutorial somewhere, right? Where is it? I really want to use this app.

Good

Cool app to learn about natures trees

Does not identify tree leaves well

I got this downloaded to identify some oak tree leaves. It told me they were maple. This app has about 1 million pages. You have to skip before you can do anything. And then most of the office just go back to the App Store for a paid app.

If you want to read all the info in this app about identifying leaves yourself, go ahead. For me it’s a complete waste of time to download. I’ve already deleted it.

Very scientific

ID is OK if you are standing by the tree. Not so good if you’re trying to ID from a photo.

Lack of instructions

Wants you to install scanner for $40 for 3 months. No thank you. Should identify from photos.

Disappointing

This app could be great. Instead it’s clunky, provides inconsistent info and pictures, and often plagiarizes Wikipedia. The search function doesn’t always work. The filter function is simplistic; the structure allows for either 1 attribute or all attributes per characteristic, e.g. brown bark or all bark colors (bark color and texture vary considerably within a species, depending on specimen age).

Not easy

Not able to take pics to help with identification nor able to type in what little info I knew about the name of tree. Only identifying by pics they have stock. Definitely not like plant identifier apps

Could be easier

What I wanted was an app to photograph a leaf and identify the tree

Awful

Not user friendly and dumb. Glad I didn’t purchase it.

Perfect

Güzel bir uygulama. TR kullanıcılar için doga kasifi app tavsiye ederim

All the high ratings must be fake.

Useless app unless your already familiar with most deciduous trees. Don’t even try to identify an evergreen with it.

Very useful

I am glad I found this. I have a huge tree came down last night in a storm. I help me to identify the tree.

App

Not user friendly.

Flag (under native country header)

Just want to point out that the flag of Mali is incorrect, the flag of Somalia is shown here..

Would like to see…

1) a tree search when you already think you know the name but want to learn more or confirm

2) A division of tree locations in the US. Here in Georgia, I don’t need to look through species only in the Northeast. Even if it is as simple as a map divided NW, SW, NE, SE that would help speed identification up. Also, it would be helpful showing the range at the top when you click on the tree so you can quickly rule them out. These location filters need to be “default” on the filter so I don’t have to choose North Amer and US everytime. Please let me know if that is a feature I am just missing. It would also be helpful to “rule out” trees and permanently remove them from appearing on my filtered list. For example, trees on the coastline of Ga or Fl would not pertain to me. The user could choose those individually and create more a specifically list of possibilities in their range. I don’t know how complicated these suggestions would be but they are just my suggestions. I’m glad I don’t need to tote a book around anymore. Thank you for this app.
