Ratings and reviews

Can't record sighting any trees because once I select my location the button to confirm it is hidden behind my Samsungs footer menu that I cannot make go away. However I do like the variety of different images to identify trees and the mythical info some of them have. The map of my local area does not let me know what any sighted trees are when clicked on, which is an annoying lack of feature. I dont mind that you have to identify the tree yourself. Please fix the bug with the location bit

This is quite a handy app when I'm out walking through Dalby, but I feel like it could do with many more trees. There are some trees that, when I've been out walking, haven't been registered by the app. It could do with a camera search feature (like Google Lens) that can identify trees from sight. And more info on the already registered trees would be even better.

The descriptions are detailed, without jargon, and photos are good. However, I wanted to use the app to map my local trees, which doesn't work. For starters, the location defaults to Grantham, Lincolnshire (perhaps the programmer's home?). If you then press the Find Location button it finds your location within about half a mile. Saving the tree location is similarly inaccurate. The iPhone version doesn't seem to have this problem!
