Amazing way to help the trees of this world

Oliver Yaney, 2024-11-24

Treesnap has worked very well for me. I went into a forest, completed a few of the app's surveys (you can use the app without having an internet connection! this makes sense to me, because you need to press the capture GPS button while physically at the tree), and uploaded my data later once I had cellular service again. It seems a lot of other reviewers don't realize the app works perfectly well WITHOUT internet - in fact, that seems to be the intended usage.
