The app is intended for arborists as a companion app for the VALID tree risk management course to evaluate the risk of a tree failure and generate an evaluation report. The app enables the assessment of the key contributing criteria need to determine the likelihood of failure and the consequences of that failure to be undertaken and the generation of a PDF report to document the assessment with supporting photos and GPS location information included. The assessment is app based to allow it to be undertaken in remote locations where network coverage maybe limited.
