## What is TreeWise?

TreeWise is a pocket field guide to the trees around you. Learn to recognise 55 species, discover what makes each one special, and keep a record of every tree you spot — anywhere, even with no signal.

Browse the library or search by name, and open any tree for high-resolution photos of its leaves, bark, buds and seeds, its Latin name, and a wealth of detail: how tall it grows, when it flowers and fruits, when its leaves fall, which parts are edible, what its wood is used for, and a few fascinating facts along the way.

Out on a walk? Mark the trees you've seen and build your own collection over time.

FEATURES
• A library of 55 trees, searchable and filterable by leaf shape
• High-resolution photos — leaves, bark, buds, seeds and the whole tree
• Seasonal guide: flowering, fruiting and leaf-fall months
• Edible parts, wood uses and traditional facts for every species
• Latin names throughout
• Log the trees you've spotted
• Works fully offline — no account, no signal required

Made for curious minds young and old. Take TreeWise outdoors and you'll never be short of something interesting to discover.

### 2/5 — Limited Scope

*2017-08-03*

This app is a good start but falls short needing more trees, better images, and better groupings.

### 3/5 — its ok

*2014-11-22*

I got this app to help my daughter to identify some tree leaves for her school project and it really didn't do what I wanted or thought it would do.  It is an ok app for somethings, but it didn't work for me.

### 1/5 — No Reviews so I took one for the team!

*2014-07-28*

I was looking for a good field guide for identifying trees in my neighborhood and thought this app might help.

It basically covers 40 trees, only one of which is a pine tree. There is no close up of the leaves, just a lot of photos and a zoom. 

Missing is any links for more info. I was hoping they would keep updating this app.

My quest for a method for identifying trees by some basic info like leaf shape, color, bark, height, geographic region, popular nursery plant, etc continues.  

Would love a pay option where you could submit a picture of the tree, bark and leaf and pay to submit would help the desperate!

### 5/5 — Powerslave Tree app.

*2012-02-06*

Love this app! Especially the categorising by leaf shape. Very useful for identifying trees when out walking or for teaching purposes.

### 5/5 — Beautiful App!

*2011-04-03*

Well done, with good facts and pictures. My only wish is that they would come out with an app listing trees of the USA, as this one is based on trees in their area of the UK. Even with that, this is worth your time for all the great and entertaining info it provides. Worth the price, if one likes to learn!

### 5/5 — Very useful!

*2010-10-09*

This help is very useful when teaching kids trees, just give them the phone and let them get on with it. The fun section makes me smile :-)

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2010-09-18*

Brilliant app for the enthusiast, or for those of us who teach Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, Cadet Forces Expedition Leaders, Scout/Guide leaders and more!
Easy to use and packed with interesting facts.

### 4/5 — Interesting idea!

*2010-09-18*

Great idea, look forward to using it on my next walk!!
