### 4/5 — Helpful

*2022-07-18, version 4*

Earlier bugs seem to have been fixed, it worked fine on my iPhone 11

### 1/5 — App crashes instantly

*2022-04-02, version 4*

A bug makes this app crash and revert to phone Home Screen when selecting anything, rendering it completely useless and broken.

### 1/5 — No tree identification possible!

*2021-11-12, version 3.3*

Great idea.  But doesn’t come up with any matches and all the other pages on the app are blank. In the delete pile it goes..

### 5/5 — Trash

*2020-06-25, version 3.3*

Dont buy it, cost to much

### 3/5 — Icon missing

*2019-08-28, version 3*

Interesting App, but the icon is missing when installed on  the 11” IPad Pro, it just shows a blank white icon on the home screen.

### 1/5 — Hopeless

*2019-02-03, version 2.4*

It doesn’t matter what options you select to identify a tree it comes up with zero options. Back to aunty google it is.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2019-01-28, version 2.4*

Very limited number of trees in the app. Each time I tried to use it even with trees I knew, I got no result. Doesn't work for me, sorry

### 3/5 — OK for beginners

*2018-06-16, version 2.3*

Not enough trees listed to identify hard to identify trees. Hope they enlarge their database soon.

### 3/5 — More info would be great

*2018-06-08, version 2.3*

I would love to see NZtrees include information on where and when gardeners might plant these trees, how tall and wide they grow, whether they require sun or shade, and particularly whether native birds benefit from their fruit.
