eTrees of Southern Africa for Android
This is really a helpful app to identify trees. The problem is that I could not find some familiar trees in the app. It is not a complete list of trees.
There is no tree key so it is hard to find a tree from scratch. All books have this key in the front with discriminating questions to help identify a genus then family, then species. You still need a book
Find it very useful. Love it!
Dissapointing ! Decided to update and download the additional 409.2MB, but it goes past that mark. I stopped at 110%. Ridiculous ! Now my Etrees doesn't work at all after it was perfect for 3 years. PLEASE FIX !
This app is the perfect guide to take with you everywhere. I have a book by the same author, but there are more trees on the app, and a lot more photos, meaning it's easier to identify the trees. Easy to use, easy to understand, English, Afrikaans, and Scientific language options. Great app!
Great details on app but it laggs, even on Samsung S6. Also no search feature so cannot search for specific tree
Paid for app. 2GB later still no download? Absolute ripoff,
Unable to open.
Downloaded update and not working. Failed to download the resource files on the phone, also downloaded from mydigitalearth and copied resource files to the root folder as per website instructions. App doesn't pick up eProducts folder and fails. Cannot open any tree files. Very frustrating! Ebirds works fine, but this application is a waste of money.
Apk installs, the resources data wont!

Paid the money but can't open it, keeps asking for a storage location, but did work before for a dayor 2
Werk vir my!
Haven't been able to open one tree page yet. Just crashes when you click on a tree. Very disappointing and expensive. Of course, too late to get money back after downloading the data pack. They say this release fixes the crashing bug, but it doesn't.
Great app for a tree lover. Photo identification great. Got to have some knowledge about tree identification. Great to use with hard copy. Gps marking very usefull. Excellent app to have with you on hiking trips. Change you language option to afrikaans to search afrikaans common names. Use my location to narrow down search.
Not very much helpfull. Only real expert can used this app. The searh function help nothing unless you know the tree and the exact spellling of the name. Waist of money app.
Thanx for the new version. It's much better than the previous one. To search for the Afrikaans names, is the biggest chance for me. So I've changed from a one star to a four star rating.
App crashes at startup. Please help with some advice
I had to download a few times to get it working, but I'm really glad I did. look forward to using it in the field
Excellent for amateur treelover. I use the Afrikaans option
After installing the new update I am unable to run the app as it keeps on crashing. I use Samsung note
Not user friendly. You have to be an expert on trees to use this app. This app is about trees of Southern Africa but no list of Afrikaans common names, not even a search on Afrikaans common names. No alphabetic list of common names, you have to know which family a tree belongs to, to be able to find any certain tree and it's info. This app is not 'n nearly in the same class as the book. I would not reccommend buying the app.
Very handy guide to have, although some things are lacking. The search function only works in english - searching for KREMETART won`t work. All species listed in english only (I suspect more than half of the people that bought this app are Afrikaans speaking). Afrikaans names only given with species specific description. Otherwise great app with good pictures and good descriptions.
Disappointing. No structure to the program. I would have expected picture of tree followed (consistently) by pictures of bark,leaves,fruit, etc. If only all the pics were as in-focus as the Baobab on the cover Kg
This product do not support Afrikaans currently but the developer mailed me to confirm that it will be implemented within the next year, speedy and friendly response
OK so if you own a nexus you need to rotate to normal front view don't turn it you won't get any info Don't have any info on the species of plant I'm looking at ' how do I get the info of the pic I'm looking at,must also state that my cell phone takes better quality pics than the illustrated ones on here ''really what's this about ' or am I just unluckyband got a bad download or missing data '??????????
Info of the Lala palm and Real fan palm are the same. Please update Real fan palm.
Just what I have been looking for...!
Very handy take-along tool that I use a lot. I would give it 5 stars if Afrikaans names could be searched.
Slightly disappointing, as the smart search function could not lead me to the right tree.you still need to know most of your trees beforehand.
I'm critical based on high price, but the I will keep the app anyway (I'm a biologist). Serious flaws: the smart search key is good but yields a final list of common names only, with no thumbnails - i.e. basically unusable, esp for big groups. Full spp. lists are by family (good) but families are not alphabetical (TERRIBLE) Cannot search by family I.e. if you don't already know genus/name you won't find tree No distribution maps Images not well optimised and far less clear than the book at the same size.
Great app very handy to have this in the field for quick reference.
Wat 'n teleurstelling! Ek ken nie die Engelse name nie, en die Afrikaanse name is onbeskikbaar. Please developers....update with Afrikaans names as well. Riaan.

1. Can you add a feature to show the tree that I mark myself on a detail map with the occurence area to use as a tree mapping app? 2. Can you add a feature where I upload more photos a tree? Can you add a feature where I add more trees that are not in the list?
