i'm in love with this app, the concept of it is beautiful but the (app)lication is a tad lacking. Can be glitchy especially after multiple obersavtions, and I highly recommend add a video option for obsetvations as well. With that said, I use it any chance I get. The suggestions both from the app and other observers as well as a brief page for the species is such a valuable teaching tool, it's such a great way to get people interacting with the outdoors, I act like mine's a pokedex

I love this app! Been using it for a few years now to identify plants and animals. Unfortunately recently the record sound feature has stopped working and is just freezing and crashing the app. It's a bummer because I'd really like to identify bird calls I'm hearing.

I enjoy this app a lot but I think it has a lot basic functionality flaws and some poor design. My biggest issue is that the app is so ridiculously slow. It's so inconvenient and I'll be sitting there for 10 minutes just trying to get to one specific thing. The app functions like it's an abandoned amateur student project. edit 2025: I think it got worse. it's borderline unusable.
