★★★★★Tracey H· Mar 21, 2024
An absolute must to have in the field of you can't carry your printed field guide with you.
★★★★☆Herman Chong· Oct 7, 2021
If this app is anything like the TheTreeApp it is a very comprehensive and useful app to anyone who has any interest in trees. As a guide I can't recommend it enough, but I am having troubles upgrading to this app from TheTreeApp as it says my token is already used.
★★★★★Barko· Dec 26, 2023
The most informative and useful tool for getting to know the trees and plants of South Africa. With its built-in search functions and interactive guidance and help features, there is no better way to build knowledge of, and enjoy the wonderful tree and plant life of this country. With the use of The Tree App, I could fairly quickly help to compile a tree identification list for a farm in the Water berg. In the process I could even correct a book relying tree specialist on some species!
★★☆☆☆Chris V· Apr 1, 2022
The fact that the app wants to check the license in remote areas where there is no signal render is useless under those circumstances. One would not expect a tree app to behave in that way due to the nature of tree identification.

I have a Samsung S24 and have been trying to use the app for the past two weeks, and it continues to crash. Would really like to buy the paid version but won't do so until I know the app won't crash. This app would then be so convenient for field work instead of carrying a book around
★☆☆☆☆From Khakis To Chinos· Apr 8, 2022
Would love to try this app, but it crashes when clicking on anything and keeps referring to buying a token?
