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.

A brilliant app, helping me to learn about wildlife and contribute to science, a win-win. However, I've encountered observations that won't upload and become stuck. There doesn't appear to be a means of deleting an upload. Whenever I refresh, it attempts to upload but never succeeds. This is not a connectivity problem. I fear I may have to reinstall this app, but worry I'll lose my observations.
