## British tree identification Reviews in United Kingdom

### ****- "Great app"
This app is almost exactly what I was looking for ! Really appreciate that it works offline and that the descriptions are so clear and informative. Would like clearer images of the tree profile, maybe an illustration ? And a ‘snap’ like game or something similar so I can practice remembering which trees have which features ! 
Thanks for the great app and all the work the charity does :))
-- issyhlop, 2024-09-12

### ****- "Saved trees disappeared"
Lovely app! Although I’m gutted to see the trees I saved yesterday are no longer there. 

Also, it would be nice if the app allowed you to save more than 1 picture of a tree. I would have liked to take one of the tree it’s self and the leaves to refer back to. 

As someone in the beginning stages of identifying trees, this app has been really useful.
-- CatCotter, 2024-04-09

### ****- "Nice informative app"
Lovely informative app and although sometimes the identification can be off - the information provided about the trees is excellent and you can normally get what you need. What I’d also love in the series of pictures that you get with the trees is a black and white profile - sometimes you can get a lot from a profile of a tree. I make models and although pictures are great it’s nice to understand the branch structure. Enjoy using!
-- TeAnnai, 2023-06-17

### *---- "crazy"
I got the app and tested it out 
on a tree I know. It came up with compelety different answers including a monkey tree when it didn't look like one.
-- grandad and bup, 2023-05-13

### *---- "Don’t bother - what a disappointing app"
OK, this negates having a heavy book in your pocket but that’s where its usefulness ends. The inability to upload photos of leaves, branches, blossom or buds in order to identify trees is beyond disappointing. I was sent a photo from a friend and used Plant Net to name the tree in seconds. This app is stuck in the pre-internet age of identification. Fine if you wish to teach time-consuming, walk-interrupting observational skills but poor if you wish to awaken and build on interest in nature.
-- Gai222, 2023-04-09

### **--- "Every Tree is a Monkey Puzzle"
Same as other reviews, I entered the details of known trees. Weeping willow is a……..monkey puzzle!  Lost confidence in the app. 
Shame.
-- Merck_x, 2022-11-10

### *---- "Useless"
I’ve had this app a while now and I’ve not been able to successfully identify a single tree. Common species like oak and chesnut I already know so I’ve only used it for slightly more obscure trees. You’ll select all the best matching features and then at the end you get given a few species of tree that you can tell visibly from the photos are nothing like the one you’re looking at. Most common trees can be learnt from watching a quick youtube video so I don’t really see the use of this app if you can’t use it to identify more obscure species.
-- LiamCoggan, 2022-10-07

### *---- "Un helpful"
This game is bad . We have been trying to match are leaf up but this does NOT help u . The pics looked NOTHING like are leaf so do not recommend this app 

Thank u for reading this 
Do not download this !!!!!!!!!!
-- green girl 444, 2021-06-12

### ***** "Monkey Puzzle Tree"
Just to let u know there are a lot of Monkey Puzzle trees in Leighton Buzzard Bedfordshire off Plantation road
-- 2Woodmouse, 2021-05-03

### ****- "Very helpful!!"
This app has helped me identify so many trees!! It’s simple and accurate,I gave it 4 stars because most of the trees look different to the pictures but it’s still a great app!
-- lillith123456789, 2021-04-25

### **--- "Good for identifying trees but privacy concern"
I’ve seen “app has pasted from messages” iOS notification more than once whilst using this app. I hope this is a bug that will be fixed and not something more sinister as I’d like to be able to review more highly; it’s quite good for the tree identification.
-- bigandyherd, 2021-03-29

### *---- "Frustratingly never identifies"
Not easy to complete, hasn’t successfully identified a tree once. Frustrating and expected better.
-- jondfc, 2021-03-29

### ***-- "Fails to ‘save’ your trees"
I like this app and appreciate the work that has gone into it for a free app. However, unfortunately the ‘save your tree’ function, which should allow users to record on the map tress they identify does not work. ‘My saved trees’ is still zero despite having saved numerous specimens to the map.
-- cedar lebanon, 2020-12-27

### *---- "Still no idea what tree it is"
Maybe I’m just not using it properly but I’ve never actually successfully identified a tree with this app. Surely one where you photograph the leaf would be better? I can do this with wine but not trees!
-- Gruffer, 2020-06-30

### **--- "Nice layout and info but failed to ID trees"
I really wanted this app to be great given it’s from Woodland Trust. Plus points are layout and ease of use. But when I went through the various questions to ID a few trees, the results I either knew were wrong or looked nothing like the tree in front of me. Maybe I’m on a different wavelength to whoever designed the question process. Deleted the app immediately. Shame.
-- JmssJmss, 2020-06-09

### *---- "Identifying trees"
Thought I would give it a go on a small tree that I planted in the garden
The app identified the tree (nomatter what options I chose) as a Eucalyptus tree when it was a walnut!
I thought that by choosing bark and leaf criteria it would be quite simple to identify . Will try others to see if this is a one off
-- Mansy62, 2020-06-09

### ***** "Woodlands Trust British Trees app"
I have only had the app installed today and I’ve spent hours already just reading all the amazing facts and learning how to identify different types of trees,and also learning a lot of botanical stuff too!
There’s also a map where you can add different types of trees that you’ve discovered around you and even see other peoples tree discoveries in any area,you can also press onto the map discoveries to learn more about that specific tree!
I mean I’ve never really been very clued up when it comes to trees but this app has made learning about trees so much fun,I absolutely love it and will be using it regularly now,can’t wait to log my first tree identification discovery!
So glad I downloaded this app.
And the best part is that it’s made by the amazing awe inspiring Woodlands Trust,who you can easily make a donation to from the app to help them continue with their amazing work! 
I definitely recommend this app honestly and wholeheartedly!
-- ProductTesterUK, 2020-05-09

### ****- "Good but flawed."
I seem to have had the same problem as another reviewer. I went through the questions about leaf shape, size, bark etc.  I was then informed that it was a monkey puzzle!
The last monkey puzzle I saw was 40 years ago in Scotland. Since then, walking all over Buckinghamshire I have never ever seen a single monkey puzzle.
As an app it has a good selection of photos.
-- Llanbury, 2020-05-04

### *---- "Lame"
I want to point the camera and the app tell me.  It doesn’t, so deleted.
-- TheLifeOfGoose, 2020-05-03

### ***** "An AMAZING app"
To me this is a very luck find an app of this quality for free is exceptionally rare. It is one of my favourite apps and is incredibly useful with features like reliable tree identification and a-z trees of the uk.
Overall, this is one of the best apps out there for free!
