About this app

The Budburst app is a project of the Chicago Botanic Garden. When you use the Budburst app, you can observe plants in your area with the interactive map, learn about plants with the in-app identification tool, monitor plant life cycles and plant-animal interactions over time, and collaborate in groups with other community scientists. Preserve the nature around you by helping us better understand it.

Ratings and reviews

App is a fantastic idea but doesn't work right in some ways. Photos added no matter how great the resolution when you take them appear blurry and dull. Happens especially when attaching a previously taken image. Also doesn't show your latest observation photo pin on the map like it shows it should. Some of the wording is confusing at first too like the fruits portions because that can mean many different things plant wise.
