Features & Capabilities

TreeSnap is a citizen science Chrome extension designed to empower users to contribute to forest health research. By tagging trees encountered in communities, properties, or wilderness, participants help scientists identify healthy, resilient trees that are candidates for genetic sequencing and breeding programs. Using TreeSnap, concerned foresters, landowners, and nature enthusiasts collaborate to combat invasive diseases and pests threatening American forests.

The extension allows for easy recording of tree locations and health conditions, supporting nationwide efforts to understand and preserve forest ecosystems. To get involved and learn more about forest genetics and conservation, users are encouraged to visit TreeSnap.org.

User Reviews

TreeSnap is praised for aiding tree conservation efforts, facilitating offline data collection, and having strong support and user-friendly design. However, users frequently mention issues with white-on-white text due to lack of dark mode, inability to upload photos from the gallery, and registration difficulties caused by false connectivity errors. Some report lag and app crashes. Overall, it is a useful app for tree surveys but requires improvements in usability and account creation.

Pros

Helps with tree conservation and species surveys.
Works well offline allowing data collection without internet.
Good support from backend scientists and timely bug fixes.
User-friendly and well designed with informative species identification.
Allows uploading and referencing of collection photos.

Cons

Lack of dark mode support leading to visibility issues with white text on white background.
Unable to upload photos from the gallery, only camera uploads are supported.
Difficulties with account registration and connectivity issues during sign-up.

Amazing way to help the trees of this world

Ol*****, 2024-11-24

I love the mission of this app but it has two critical issues. The first is the lack of support for dark mode. On a device that is utilizing dark mode the white text is not visible on the white background. The other issue is the inability to add photos from the gallery. Until those issues are fixed I'll stick to iNaturalist. Edited to add: all modern phones include GPS data within the embedded metadata of the photo meaning geotagged batch uploads from the gallery are feasible.
