## What is Timber Tree Height Estimator?

Ever wondered how tall a tree is? If that tree were to fall, or be cut down, what would it hit?

With Timber tree height estimator you can now easily estimate the height a tree. After you measure the tree Timber will display the height and a red circle on a map to show you an estimated area of where the tree would fall.

Timber doesn't only measure the height of trees. It will give you a good estimate of any object you want to measure.

To use Timber you set the GPS position of the tree that you want to measure. Then walk away from the tree and use the app to measure the angle to the top of the tree. Timber will then calculate the height of the tree. You can also set, or adjust, the position of the tree and your current location on the map. This comes in useful if you have a poor GPS signal or if you can not get to the tree to set the position.

### 4/5 — Handy but hard to see

*2022-10-30*

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.

**Developer response:** We will work on making the numbers more visible in our next update.

### 3/5 — Options to measure net height

*2018-11-10*

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.

Cheers
Glenn

**Developer response:** We will make the colors easier to see in the next update!

### 5/5 — excellent!

*2015-12-25*

Take your time, read instructions, you'll get a experience and accurate reading.

### 3/5 — Camera

*2015-07-27*

Would be nice to take a picture for future reference

### 5/5 — Good app

*2015-07-07*

Works very well
