Handy but hard to see

I submitted this issue a year ago and haven’t seen a fix so thought I’d post here.

The small red number readout is impossible to see in sunlight and difficult in shade. You have your arm and the phone extended to point at the tree top, head titled, and usually sun shining on the screen or in your face (depending on where you need to stand to get a clear view of the tree). The resulting number is red which are hard to see and they are quite small. Of course as you pull the screen closer to read it the numbers change because the angle changes.

Can I suggest a better color than red? Red is hard to see in daylight. Can I also suggest making the numbers larger?

Otherwise, nice app.

Response from developer

We will work on making the numbers more visible in our next update.

Options to measure net height

Good app, but would be much more functional if you could click on the base of a tree, click on the top, and get total height.

Also, hard to see red text on blue sky background. Black might be better.

What is the estimated fall zone shown on the map?

What if I have a poor GPS signal when using Timber?
