  1. 3/5Good but Not What I Hoped For

    I’ve been using VTree for almost a year, and honestly still have not decided if I like it or not. The problem is that I never know in advance if it will help ID a tree or give me nonsense (this is with the full database installed). I’ve often ended up standing beneath a tree and manually working my way through the photos of likely candidates to figure out the species after carefully entering as much data as I could into the search fields and getting either nothing or a response I know is wrong (e.g., the stand of Liriodendron behind my house repeatedly being identified as Oak, Ash, or other species, apparently depending on the app’s mood of the moment).

  2. 3/5Won’t Open Jan 2021

    Just downloaded and tried to open. It is stuck “downloading species”. Tried a dozen times and finally deleted the app and re-installed it from App Store. Same thing. After third try on second install it finally opened. Note that the hang was prior to choosing which database to install.

  3. 5/5Brilliant!

    Simple to use! Clearly the previous reviewer didn't read the BASIC instructions- you must download the additional data fact sheets to view the photos for each species, this is designed to not burden your phone with data. I simply put in the address of our new property and the local species were presented with fantastic photos and descriptions. Any outdoors person would benefit from this app. Thank you!

  4. 4/5Needs updating to to work put bugs

    The last update for my iPhone has caused a number of issues with the app. Search locations brings back incomplete results. For example, using Texas as a search location, species indicated in that state only shows about half. Additionally, pictures will not display when individual species are selected. The only way to get them to appear is by clicking on the “next” or “previous” icons.

  5. 2/5Needs work - a lot

    I installed the app and started with only downloading the trees the app thought was in my area... completely useless. The area specific download omitted many common trees I can see out my windows, much less what I would find with the walk in the woods. Black walnut, sassafras, red bud, Osage orange, hickory, black locust, honey locust, paw paw....etc...were all missing from the location/area specific download. Now doing the complete download to see if it is any more complete.
