## TheTreeApp SA Description
Identify and discover over 1200 indigenous and selected invasive trees of South Africa.

The app provides full species descriptions as well as uses and gardening information. Tree details are described in artworks, over 6000 photographs, maps, and texts.

Searching for a species can be done by scientific or common name, using any of the 11 South African languages.

Once loaded using Wi-Fi, no internet is needed; but satellite coverage improves the map and Location search experience.

Interactive Location options based on unique, highly detailed species distribution maps, rapidly reduce the number of tree species to the actual number that can grow there naturally.

Using the powerful, rapid, and highly intuitive random Tree Search function; the characteristics of your tree are matched to those on the app. Select the relevant tick-boxes and watch as the number of species’ choices in the Tree List reduces!

If you are a new user, you can download and test the free Evaluation version of TheTreeApp SA, covering a limited number of trees (155). To load all 1 399 trees, you must buy a yearly subscription of R179,99 by pressing the Buy Full Subscription Version button on the Home Screen in the app and following the steps.

TheTreeApp SA has an inbuilt education system; based on clicking InfoHotSpots, for explanations about any detail that is not clear. 

In Settings on the home screen, you can select your use of primary and secondary languages from Scientific, English, or Afrikaans. 

In addition, the Sightings function allows you to add and list the names of your own personal tree discoveries. You can also type in notes and record GPS locations.

The Second Edition is a two-in-one app that contains both the Original version (simple English terms) and the Botanical version (classical Botanical terms). Therefore, you only pay for one subscription per year but you receive both versions of the app. Users can switch between versions on the app home screen. The language differences apply to the search, text, and captions. Both versions include all South African trees, and all species’ artwork, photographs, and maps.

## TheTreeApp SA Reviews in South Africa

### *---- "Does not Open anymore"
Used to love this app but I can no longer use it.
I just does not open anymore.
-- MKSBDR, 2023-12-31

### *---- "App won’t open"
I have had the app for some time now and after the latest update it will not open… disappointing…
-- Wally Wanger, 2023-10-03

### *---- "Doesn’t open"
App doesn’t open after upgrade
-- Michael Bosman, 2023-10-02

### ****- "Good app"
This app has been very useful to me. I am very grateful to the developers for creating it. Occasionally at certain species there are not photos or illustrations of all the aspects of a tree. Occasionally I would have liked more of the invasive aliens in a natural area like a national park to be included. Also I am not sure why all national parks are not on the app (presumably the developers have not themselves done a list for some parks). Perhaps the developers could ask for volunteers amongst the users to start them off with lists of trees in certain parks. Also, there is a tree list for at least one of the parks I am thinking of on inaturalist. Those are just minor details though. Thanks again!
-- Anglican wildwoman, 2023-05-18

### *---- "Disappointing"
I was so eager to try out this app but it was very disappointing. The layout and info are good but it was not helpful to me at all in helping to identify trees. The search function results were way off the mark.
-- Benchfield, 2023-01-09

### ***-- "It’s good to have but why not show the full tree and not just the leaf"
As someone getting into trees and plants this is helpful to hand and the information write up is good but if they had just added a picture of a mature tree it would have been superb app as you could actually see what the tree looks like . Happy to subscribe for the year to play with this app but would be so good if they just added a full picture of the tree
-- AyamaQi, 2022-11-12

### *---- "TreeApp"
Pathetic and a waste of money.
-- Owen DP, 2021-01-25

### ***-- "Keeps crashing"
I get a positive id no more than 50% of the time and, more annoyingly, the app now crashes on me once all the inputs have been made
-- Davek118, 2021-01-03

### *---- "Crap app"
Rubbish
-- Nrwbyfrase, 2020-12-11

### ***** "Best tree app"
This is by faaaar the best tree app. Its so much easier and faster than the books. And it really works. Other tree apps are useless. Worth the money.
-- tree viking, 2019-11-30

### ***** "Photos"
I really love your app. Congratulations.  It would be great to have some winter photos of the bare trees.
-- tocksie, 2019-09-22

### **--- "Waste of money"
Support is non existent. Takes ages to load up. Illustrations lack info. Search not helpful. 
Sorry I wasted my money.
-- ChrisKd, 2018-08-19

### ****- "Great, but lacking at the same time"
Don't get me wrong, I love this App, specifically its layout, ease of use, rich information and superb illustrations, especially by Joan Van Gogh, whose work I am very familiar with (did you know, remarkably, she is a descendant of the impressionist Vincent Van Gogh?). The App is priced just right and certainly gives good value for money. My slight criticism though is that, as good as the illustrations are, they do not give a good overview of the entire tree and mostly do not include photographs. Also, although the focus of the App are our indigenous species, and despite the inclusion of many alien species, I have discovered a few at first use that are not. For example the English Oak (Quercus robur) established more than 200, possibly 300, years ago, so hardly an alien and ubiquitous in the Greater Cape Town. One can only hope that the database will expand with future updates and include an increasing variety of images.
