Seek by iNaturalist

I love this app. What’s missing is a wish list of things you want to see one day, and the ability to identify bird song.

It is an awesome app you can easily scan creatures and plants, but for some reason my badges aren’t coming up. It says 1/1 birds but still remains blank. I don’t know if this is just mine or if it’s a bug though…

There’s lots to talk about so there’s 3 thugs I going to talk about 1. I love the game it’s fun and there’s so much today about it’s good traits 2. They could fix this some plants and animals that just don’t get pictures it take sooooo much too get a plant or bug or animal sometimes 3. There’s a glitch we’re I got an axolotl when I took a pic of a elephant 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Which I thought was the main purpose! I was hoping to use it as a plant ID app, knowing that it wouldn’t fair very well on Australian native plants due to it being an American app, however it says literally everything in my garden is a member of the Dicot family (even a common mulberry tree) and ‘can not identify the exact species’. Pretty useless for a garden/plant lover sadly and I will be deleting it.

This app is just too addicting. It’s like geocaching, except you’re trynna find little fuzzy or scaly dudes. And there’s no plastic waste. Maybe a better example is Pokémon Go, except the Pokémon are real. If you want to ID everything, this is the app for you.

My positive reviews kept disappearing, so here are some negatives. Please enable manual entry, tired of trying and trying for hours to identify things I already know. I am in Australia, stop identifying Australian creatures as North American or European. Many of the things the App tells me do not exist here.

The premise is good and the app works pretty well for the most part. Although it does crash on a very regular basis for no apparent reason. I use a phone that can very much handle the app so the crashing is entirely a problem within the app. The second issue is that the seek camera is extremely bad. It doesn’t recognise about 60% of the wildlife that I try to identify. No matter how clear the photos are. I think that you would be well served to add a manual log feature where as I can log the plant or animal manually so that I don’t have to rely 100% on the camera which doesn’t work so often. I know that this could open the doors to cheating but honestly the amount of times the seek camera misidentifies a plant or animal has already opened that door long ago. The app is good. It just need a bit of polishing.

The quality of the photos and the accuracy of the detection is awesome! Love going out and taking photos of the wildlife and plants and finding out what they are 🥰

This is one of my favourite apps, so handy and educational. I really love being able to look through the plants and animals I’ve captured on it. I recently bought a new phone but am unable to transfer my observations onto it. I would really love if this was made possible as I’m going to lose years of observations. I tried making an inaturalist account to post them there, but you can only upload them right as you make a new observation. A bit disappointing but other than that it’s a wonderful app.

PLEASE fix this issue, I only put 2 stars because of this issue, otherwise 5 stars.
