___
iPhone (iPad)
---
Just point your device at the tree you want to identify. Using Augmented Reality (AR), the app will display a label with the species right next to the tree. (Use the map view, if the label wont line up...)
Tapping on the label will display the Wikipedia page about that trees species.
In addition to the AR mode, Urban Trees features also a map mode.

Notes:
• Urban Trees does NOT use image recognition but uses OPEN DATA, which provides the exact location and species of every PUBLIC tree in the supported cities
• Check the help section within the app if the label locations in AR are off.
