About Tree Identifier: Bark Scanner
Most tree apps need a leaf. In winter, on a bare trunk, or with a plank on your workbench, that is exactly what you do not have. Tree Identifier reads bark, leaves, needles and whole trees. Point the camera, and you get the species back in seconds — with an honest read on how sure it is. WHAT YOU GET BACK • Common name and scientific name • The family it belongs to • Where it grows and what it prefers • The visible details that gave it away — leaf shape, bark pattern, cone or fruit • Lookalikes, and how to tell them apart • A confidence rating on every result, never a bare guess • Care instructions — light, water, soil and when to prune • The diseases and pests to watch for, and what to do about them BUILT FOR THE BARE MONTHS Bark is the hard case, and it is the one most apps skip. Deep furrows, papery peel, smooth grey, flaking plates — the details that separate an oak from an ash when there is not a leaf in sight. YOUR OWN FIELD GUIDE Every identification is saved. Keep the ones you care about in your Collection and revisit the rest in History, each with the photo you took. Over a season it becomes a record of where you have walked and what grows there. KEEP IT ALIVE A name is only the start. Every result also tells you how to look after the tree — light, water, soil and pruning — and which diseases and pests to watch for, with the signs and the first thing to do about them. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT KNOWS Every result carries a confidence level. When the photo is not good enough, it says so and tells you what to shoot instead. When two species are plausible, it shows both. An identification is a strong suggestion, not a certificate — and the app never pretends otherwise. WHO IT IS FOR • Walkers and hikers who keep wondering what that one is • Gardeners working out what is already on the plot • Woodworkers identifying a board by its grain and bark edge • Students of forestry, botany and landscape • Anyone who has stood under a tree and wanted its name PRIVACY Your photo is sent for analysis and the result comes back. Your Collection and History stay on your device. No account, no tracking, no ads. Three identifications are free. Unlimited access is a subscription. Estimates are informational and are not a substitute for a qualified arborist or botanist. Never eat, brew or apply any part of a plant based on an app. Terms of Use (Apple Standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
