Falling Fruit is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Boulder, Colorado, USA. All proceeds from sales of our mobile app help pay to keep our servers and website online. Purchasing the app is itself a tax deductible donation, and we greatly appreciate your support in keeping Falling Fruit online! Our global map of edible plants is not the first of its kind, but it aspires to be the world's most comprehensive. While our users contribute locations of their own, we comb the internet for pre-existing knowledge, seeking to unite the efforts of foragers, foresters, and freegans everywhere. Imported datasets range from small neighborhood foraging maps to vast professionally-compiled tree inventories. So far, this amounts to over 1,200 different edible types (most, but not all, plant species) distributed over nearly one million locations. Beyond the cultivated and commonplace to long-forgotten native plants and the exotic flavors of foreign plants, foraging in your neighborhood is a journey through time and across cultures. Falling Fruit is not associated with Fallen Fruit. Fallen Fruit can be found at fallenfruit.org.
Doesn’t work
Don’t waste your time or money, I have not been able to use the app at all since I got it. The map always starts in boulder Colorado but it NEVER loads. I’m not even able to see the fruit trees in boulder.
Stuck loading
Cool concept, but the app is unusable. I have a strong internet connection but the app is stuck loading. I’ve tried a few different times this past week, but same deal, the map is stuck loading Boulder CO. Oh well, it was only a dollar.
Unusable
This app is entirely unusable. Location services are nonfunctional, and it won’t even refresh to my location when typed in. Resets to Boulder Colorado, and doesn’t even show their data. Essentially the only thing I can do in this app is open it. Not to mention everything listed in my area on the website was planted in 1991? My large metro area landscape has changed in that time period. Great concept but poorly executed.
Catch Us
We are flying through this country foraging for frinedly fruits and un-empty dumpsters. But catch us because this app needs an update. To be able to find location of user using a better map service, or at least to fill the screen of recent phone screens with bigger format/screen size. Thank you, we are falling
Works well
It’s got some minor bugs and there’s plenty of room for improvement, but it does what it needs to do! I’m really enjoying using it and contributing to it.
Worst app I cancelled and they are still charging
Be careful when purchasing this app I had cancelled my subscription on the website because you won’t find it on your phone if you have Apple ID and it said they cancelled it but I never received a conformation email and now I’m getting charged for this app that doesn’t even work. I feel like this is a scam and they just trying to take peoples money. I will be contacting my bank and whoever else I need to get this solved quickly.
Working great!
I was skeptical to download based on previous reviews but a few recent reviews were positive so I went ahead and bought the app. It’s working great! You can search for specific edibles in your area. I did not attempt to edit a point or create a new log yet though. Overall, worth the $2. Would be great to get more crowd sourced data!
