In this study, a cloud-based android application and centralized tracking software were developed to perform an accurate and uninterrupted tree count across open lands. The application is used to count the desired number of trees and species at the same time. User-logged data and location information are saved in real-time to the application's cloud database. The application can work online and with offline mod. In cases where there is no internet connection, it inserts the data to the local SQLite database. After the connection is established, the pairing continues. It's used Google Firebase on the cloud server for data storage. The processing of target locations and GPS coordinates was developed with the Google Map Library. The tree counting application automatically picks up the user's current location when it is first opened. The counting starts after the tree and tree species that the user has selected from the menu. The software developed shows that tree counting is done simultaneously at the desired point. It also solves confusion caused by different tree species during the counting. We've received feedback from 100 people using the application. The users answered five questions. As a result, it is aimed to provide a comfortable transition between tree species and its users with its simple use to eliminate the complexity of counting and save time.
