I can finally say that the new build of the Tree Guide is complete and has been submitted to Apple earlier today. I’m fairly confident that they caught all the issues with the first version. The crashing issue with the iPhone 4 has been corrected. The programmers had also found several memory leaks that were also addressed. The approval process for Apple could take anywhere from 7 to 20 days to complete. Thank you for your patience and as always…. Happy Hiking !!
This May Be the One!

Received a new Binary on the Tree Guide this morning, so far so good. I need to check one more thing on Thursday morning with the programmer and if all is well on that end we should be all set to resubmit to Apple. I feel pretty good about this one but still keeping my fingers crossed. I also heard that the Animal Track update is just about ready also. That’s going to be a great update and I’m sure you’ll love it.
Another Rejected Binary…. Uggh!!

I think this is Binary number 3 to fix the Tree crashing problem. I rejected it again today. I don’t know if my programmers read my blog so I better play nice. I do give them credit, they weren’t the ones that built this app. So here I am throwing them into the middle of someone else’s written codes that weren’t written correctly and they have to find the errors. The good news is they have said they fixed the iPhone 4 crashing problem. I have to take their word on that since I myself only use and test on the iTouch. Unfortunately in correcting some problems some things got shuffled around other places in the app, luckily I found them before I approved this version. Also since it’s been so long trying to fix this I need to have them set this new build up so people can save their Field Journal notes before they delete the app and install the new build. I know if I don’t have this available for users that I will get hell from a few people. I’d rather get back to the positive reviews than put another app with problems back out.
If you were wondering who built the current app with all the bugs that would be a business called A-1 Technologies out of NYC. I’m so glad they responded to my emails on the crashing issue….not…. they didn’t even have the courtesy to do that. They started off good but went downhill fast and weren’t the experts they built themselves up to be. I would never get involved with them for app development or anything else for that matter. So if you can please be patient just a little longer the Tree app fix it’s coming. I just want to make sure there are no problems this time.

North Creek, New York – Announcing that MyNature, Inc., the developers of MyNature Animal Tracks, are excited about launching their newest app, the MyNature Tree Guide. Users can use this app to identify trees, see images of leaves, needles, fruit, bark, illustrated drawing and a profile of each tree.
No other application does what MyNature Trees can do. It makes an educational experience fun in new way. Using a series of 15 questions the user answers as many as possible. The app will match the answers against its database for the tree that most closely resembles the answered questions. You can also use the questions themselves as a broader search by searching for leaf shape, fruit shape, number of needles as well as many other combinations of searchable features a tree may have. Once identified, the user can see photos and range maps or read more to learn about the tree and its growth cycle.
The app can also alert users to which trees they may find in any area in North America. Just enter the state or province initials into the app and hit submit, all the trees featured for that state will be listed. MyNature Trees also includes a place for making notes, which is particularly useful for those who enjoy recording their outdoor discoveries.
Some of the MyNature Tree Guide Features are:
* Searchable database containing over 200 trees found in North America
* Clearly illustrated leaf drawings showing the prominent features of each trees leaf
* Digital images of an actual leaf, some with their Autumn colors
* Range maps to reference a trees presence in your location
* Full color digital images of a trees fruit or cone

* Handy ruler to measure and aid in leaf identification
* MyNature journal, where you can personally record the trees you’ve found along with the location, weather conditions or just your own personal thoughts about your day in the field
* State Tree quiz
* Interesting and fun facts about trees
* Scientific names and their meanings and much more

MyNature Tree Guide
June 24, 2010 By 6 Comments
After a lot of delays we are happy to announce that the Tree app has finally seen the light of day. MyNature Trees went live in the App Store on Saturday night the 19th of June. Because of some technical difficulties we kept it under wraps until Tuesday the 22nd. We were presently surprised that people were still finding it on iTunes with no publicity whatsoever. Today we’re very excited to find the app ranked 32nd in grossing apps in the reference category, 49th ranked overall in reference and ranked an impressive 762 out of all app categories combined. Judging from the user reviews and ratings we’ve done a pretty good job with the design, content and functionality, out of 24 current ratings we are sitting at 21 five stars and 3 four stars. We’re very pleased that the app has been so well accepted so far, over time it will continue to grow with the addition of more species and social features to share your discoveries outdoors.
If there is something you would like to see included in the Tree app in the future we value your feedback and would love to hear from you. Our goal is to make user friendly apps that educate you in Nature and leave you with a pleasant experience at the same time.
We would like to extend a very heartfelt thank you to all who have helped us get to this point today. Without your support MyNature Trees would not be achieving the ranking it’s at this moment.
Happy Hiking !!
