About this app

This tree tracking and mapping tool supports people and organizations that plant, monitor, and protect trees.

It's most basic function is designed to help planters keep track of their trees. More advanced features allow organizations to display tree data by embedding tree-maps on webpages. It is also part of a framework that enables organizations to employ people to plant on a per tree survival bases and allows individuals and organizations to sell and trade their restoration impact.

The 'Add Tree' feature takes a geo-tagged picture and automatically puts tree markers on a global map. Your trees upload to www.treetracker.org. Greenstand can provide custom maps showing your trees only or remove your trees from public view. Users can request access to the Dashboard in order to verify the uploaded trees by contacting [e-mail].

** NOTE: Your app's default setting requires ten-meter GPS accuracy.
The app is designed to verify user accounts for the sale of tree-based impact and requires an image-based login each time it is used.

** IMPORTANT CHANGES: Tracking a tree involves taking a photo of the tree/seedling along with its location data (GPS co-ordinates). On entering the tree tracking mode in the app, a screen to select the grower is presented. Once the grower is selected, the camera screen is activated. On clicking the green button the app enters Convergence mode with a green processing circle appearing in the center of the screen. Note that during this convergence mode the image of the tree is not immediately captured. Instead a stream of location data from the device is processed to determine its accuracy and the moment the location data stays within a close range the convergence is complete and the image of the tree is captured. The duration of the convergence may take anywhere between couple of seconds to 60 seconds depending on the device. The motivation for this convergence is to associate precise location data to the captured tree and thus differs from other camera apps where clicking on the camera button immediately captures the image. Please comment on this feature which adds to the tracking time but hugely improves data accuracy.

Ratings and reviews

I tested this app by putting in a random picture of a book and a random description and yet it accepted it as a plant, not only that but i can't even retrieve the picture so that i could delete it. There should be a retake and a delete option.

The use of this app is not very clear. Is it specifically designed for growers only? How to funders connect? There is hardly any information available on the app, and I'm unable to access any functionality.

Poorly done app 1) why is there a need for selfie? Your explanation with illiterate african villages doesnt makes sense, as this app requires phone, email, and selfie. 2) always show gps not available. Im using a pretty new samsung galaxy phone. Will re-rate this app once improvement has been made. For now, uninstalling.
