Pros and cons of MyNature Tree Guide app for iPhone and iPad
MyNature Tree Guide app good for
This is a nice little app for nature lovers. It makes figuring out the type of tree you are looking at an easy science.
This is great for the person just starting out. Still find I need two apps, to log sightings and geotagged photos. But at least with this app I can identify the tree.
This is a great app for family outings. Easy reference to help teach the kids about nature. Nice addition to the Tracks app. Great job!
Were always looking for tree books with real photos of bark,leaves,needles,cones and fruit and all we can find is illustrations, this APP has it all and the photos are in clear close up color. The descriptions are easy to understand, and its fun to mess with. Every one Ive shown has been very impressed and so am I. If you travel, camp, or hike you should have this APP.
This is a wonderful app, full of information and photos. thank you Jeff, you have been very helpful.
Another great app that I use on the job and off. Love the search by question option to quickly find the tree Im looking at. Cant wait for more trees to added. Being an outdoorsy kinda of person this will be one of the few apps I will use often. Now can ya make one for dragonflies??!!
Some bad moments
190 species sounds like a lot, but for all of North America, it really isnt. The needleleaf section is okay, but the broadleaf trees are so incomplete! It only identifies the most basic species on the continent, and there are a lot of typos in the descriptions. There is a $4 app that is way more comprehensive, you should get that instead. The only reason I give it 2 stars instead of 1 is because it has nice features like glossary and notes. It might be okay for the beginner, but I wouldnt recommend it.
I think this app needs a serious update! It lacks MANY species that would be expected in a field guide. I would not recommend this app for the price.
The app works great until you need to back up once you have a small selection of possible trees. I would love to buy a bulk subscription for my classes but not until this major bug is fixed. Right now, I have wasted 7 dollars.
If an app crashes, I never give more than 2 stars and this app crashes a lot as previous reviewers have stated. It would also be really helpful if the leaf pictures could be quickly scanned instead of having to go through the question and answer sequence to get to the real pictures.
total junk, it is leaf identification not tree identification
However it does have a crashing issue related to looking at more than one species of tree. For example I looked at three species of Ash but crashed when the second was selected to look at. When there is a bug fix this review will go to a five!
Dropping this to a one until they fix the crashing. I am highly disappointed with backwards navigation and crashes.
