Water Your Neighborhood, a police dog rescues a boy, and The Giving Grove.
Then it provides watering recommendations based on the tree's species, age, location, and current weather conditions.
The app's name translates to Water Your Neighborhood, and people are using it to help care for the city's roughly 900,000 street trees.
Trees that need water show up as orange or red pins on a city map, and the app even points users to nearby public water sources.
One Berlin resident adopted a linden tree she named Linda and receives updates on it when it needs watering.
Also, a police bloodhound named Bo helped rescue a missing boy in Maryland after an hours-long search that stretched into the night.
More than 30 officers and three canine teams were out searching when Bo tracked the child through nearly three miles of thick brush.
And finally, a nonprofit in Kansas City that's turning vacant lots into free fruit orchards has just gone nationwide.
It's called The Giving Grove, and they've planted more than 14,000 fruit trees across 847 orchards in 17 cities.
This has given more than a million people access to fresh produce within walking distance of home.
The organization got its start with a small orchard at a former elementary school in Kansas City, but now it supports orchards all the way from Seattle to Atlanta.
