A little here and there

Hello I am alr happy it’s not a scam:) eh so I suggest that you can add observations like for real. Eg you saw a squirrel and have a box to type down ur observation. But besides that , it’s pretty good :))))))

Cool app

Interesting concept

Cannot identify plant

First attempt it cannot identify a well taken pic of herbs.

Images all gone

Emma Darwin on

Singapore

Although I am not using the app to store my pictures per se, I was dismayed to find the observations I uploaded all gone when I cleared my gallery.

Could be better

Or rather...Maybe we're just not there yet. User this in the Botanical Gardens. Lighting was good, camera could focus really close. On a good day I'd get 2/10 recognitions. The App also doesn't let you export your findings/history. Since no profile of s created, Everything was gone when I had to change my phone. All my collections from my trips overseas all gone.

Doesn’t work well

The concept sounds really cool. I was browsing thru instagram and got excited to hear from a friend’s post that there’s such an app for nature lovers, and downloaded it immediately. And as there’s many green areas around me, I wanted to take a walk around some of the nature reserves and explore what species of animals and plants they hold. But alas. The app wasn’t able to accurately identify what I saw, nor let me log the new pictures under the right categories. The app has an “achievement”-like feature which gives you points for discovering new flora and fauna. But as mentioned before, it does not let me log new pictures as it either says that the picture is not clear (which is not true), or that it is unsure of the species (while I was 100% sure of what exactly the plant/insect/bird/animal was. Ironically, if I submitted a screenshot of the animal/plan I saw in the app, and multiples of the same screenshots, the app gives me those points! So yup, I do hope that these improvements are put in place to make it more user-friendly

Great but could be more

I love this app I’ve wanted it for a long time and now my camera works but the only things I’d like to see added is an animal call detector and identifier i think would be really cool also I would like a bit more information about the stuff i really wanna learn. Also Ive been having a hard time getting it to fully register what i show with the cameras. For instance Ive seen some cool spiders but they haven’t been able to give me anything outside from the fact that they’re in the jumping spider family, still really good app and i really enjoy it but it’s not quite perfect yet

Language issue

Bug picker on

United States

The In-app language would somehow automatically switch to English which is really annoying. I would like to check the details of the species in local language so please fix this.

Fishing for data

kksale on

United States

The app won’t work unless you allow them complete access to location (not just while using the app) and photo library (I selected add only so that they could add pics I submit but they want access to all photos.) Ultimately they couldn’t id a bird feather I submitted even though I found the app after searching feather identification

Great

Connor-MW on

I really like the amount of things you can identify. 90% of the time it will (most likely) get things right, but it can mess up sometimes. However, not everything is perfect, and I think with more time the app will eventually have a higher accuracy when identifying organisms. One thing I wish was better on the app is identifying trees, I think that that’s probably the hardest thing to identify on the whole app, because it’s difficult for me to understand how it’s going to identify a tree. I’m not sure if I need to go by leaves or by whatever “fruit” a tree will bear, or by the shape by standing away from the tree and taking a picture, but I just wish it was better at identifying trees. Overall a great app, and would definitely recommend.
