The app describes in detail native American trees and shrubs showing the full tree, bark, flower, fruit, and leaves.

- the species list has specifically been modulated for the USA
- 8,620 carefully selected photos, from wildlife photography agencies PlantaPro, and Sunbird Images

### 1/5 — Bad!

*2020-07-29, version 1.6*

This app has only 1 search criteria, by the leaf, and then give you a long list of “matches” with only 1 photo each and not much of a description of the tree. It’s almost impossible to identify with this app.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2020-06-12, version 1.6*

Horrible. Don’t waste your money or your time

### 3/5 — Washington State

*2019-10-05, version 1.6*

I do not see Washington State listed. I see only Washington, DC. We have different vegetation on the two coasts. Please fix. Thanks.

### 2/5 — No Washington State?!?

*2019-08-13, version 1.6*

You can imagine my disappointment to find out that The Evergreen State was not listed in this app. :(

### 1/5 — Missing Washington

*2019-07-25, version 1.6*

I suppose this would be a useful app if I lived in a state listed in the guide. Unfortunately I live in the State of Washington. They have Washington DC available, but no Washington. Virginia? Yes. West Virginia? Yes. But alphabetically between, where Washington should be... only Washington DC.

### 1/5 — Cumbersome and not intuitive

*2019-06-05, version 1.6*

The gps location finder is stuck on the east coast . This app is not worth the time or $5 I wasted

### 3/5 — Missing info

*2019-03-19, version 1.6*

App would be better if there were more pics of the bark—it’s hard to know what leaves look like in the winter. Also, measurements should be in inches and centimeters, not just centimeters. App always defaults to NY, should be last state searched.

### 1/5 — Identification

*2019-03-12, version 1.6*

If your looking for an app to identify for you, this isn’t it. You will have to have some knowledge of what your looking for in order to use this app.

### 1/5 — Geography is way, way off

*2018-10-14, version 1.6*

Washington State is a state— like a province—on the West Coast of the United States of America. Washington, DC is the capital of the United States. It is a city in the District of Columbia, on the East Coast of the United States. The District of Columbia is a not a state, but is a bit like one, and for purposes of a nature app should be treated like one. The bottom line is that they are NOT the same thing, or anywhere near each other, yet this app treats them as the same. If you want to see what trees there are in Washington, DC , you cannot— it will give you the trees for Washington state. If you want the trees for Washington state, you have to pick Washington, DC. If the developer is this profoundly ignorant of geography, it is hard to believe that the app can be trusted at all.

### 1/5 — Useless.

*2018-08-26, version 1.6*

I was excited to find this, but The identification guides are so general and the number of trees that are missing from the list is Totally disappointing. I have tried to find five trays that I know well and they’re not even listed. I wish I had not bought the whole pack of birds, trees, etc. I guess the rest are probably just as bad as this one. A total waste of money and time.
