Totally a fun app. Nice graphics. Super simple.

Just needs the ability to bend and manipulate the branches, and a zoom feature. Maybe a gallery of your previous trees. Add something where the old trees grow, and you have to perform maintenance with the help of a push notification.

I’m not quite sure why everyone has been giving this app such a Good rating. The graphics are horrible and you can’t bend branches, grow new parts of the tree, and the cutting is bad. And there is not enough options of trees to choose from. I Don’t recommend this app at all.
