    I use the "Picture This" app, and it's free, but only works for the leaves of the tree, not the wood itself.
    ...& I think it works for flowers too.

    There are quite a few of id apps out there but I think the best one hands down is "picture this" Being an environmental science teacher, I take them outside and have them id trees as part of an ecosystem field walk lab and even though I tell them not to use any apps, I always find some using them and it's right much more often than the others out there.

    How do I get the free app? This appears to be a 7 day free trial only.

    WW, I get this screen and I just click on 'cancel' in the upper right corner of the screen. 652A4307-8D29-4EFD-ADAB-24E8F2ED698D.png Then, it gives me this screen: 23976DDB-DA60-4999-9592-5AF618F1DA75.png ...and then it works.
    It's been working for me for a couple of years. Let me know how you make out.

    Google lens is free. Not foolproof though.

    I was a biology major before I discovered mixology in college:rofl: :lol:

    Yep, mine too to this point. But if I can get that app free, I’ll try it out.
