I wish i could give this app 5 stars!! It has so much information and, as far as i could tell, very detailed identification tips... but the photos just won’t load. i’ve uninstalled the app and redownloaded it several times with no luck. It’s really a shame because it seems to be the most detailed and informative tree guide for the PNW. i would definitely be giving it 5 stars if not for the missing photos. I do still use the app because there is so much written information that tells the user what to look for and the unique traits for each tree, but the photos would have made it perfect.

I'm so excited!! I was going to delete like I always do the second an app disappoints but I just couldn't for some reason. There is something about this app. It's so well done. It feels like a labor of love. I know the pictures not showing up is a problem and they did not load for me as well. But I kept it. And kept checking back. It's been a week. And today the pictures are all there. BEAUTIFUL images. I'm so glad I kept it! I've been trying to understand the forest I live in and THIS is the app for that. Thank you for all your hard work.

I live in Oregon, and I love hiking around and I love trees - but embarrassingly I don’t know my native species. This app is perfect in the field! Has lots of great detailed info and lovely photos for the most common PNW native trees. Thoughtfully written and compiled. Easy to use interface. AND IT’S FREE such a gift.Note: When I first installed the app (while I was out in the field), the photos did not load. I was sad. So I deleted the app from my phone (iPhone 11 with latest iOS) and reinstalled it when I was at home with WiFi. App took ~2-3 minutes to load all the photos, and I LOVE IT. Thanks so much - so grateful for your work Cliff.

After downloading (and loving) this app years ago, it eventually ceased working, as other users described. However there was an update in March 2022 so I downloaded again and gave it another shot. And the trees are back! Everything seems to be working as expected. This app is great for people who want to proactively learn to identify local PNW trees without the need to pull out their phone. It’s a great companion to a more traditional identification app.
