(Hope you will fix this app)Continues to crash everytime you click on anything & that’s despite the recent update. I don’t even bother trying to use it now.I’ve gone back to the older one which works.

To the developers: I haven’t used this app yet because plants haven’t woken up yet where I live. I’ll update this review once I truly use the app. I downloaded the app few days ago, just saw it on my phone and wondered to myself “what does this app?” And I didn’t know until I opened it. As a user I suggest that the app name is changed to something more intuitive than an acronym, which may make sense to you but not to the user. If I’m walking around in the nature and want to quickly pull up this app, with all the apps I have on my phone, I would need to use the search feature of my phone to find it but searching for something with such a strange/unintuitive name is impossible. The name may not be strange to you, but see it from the user’s perspective: how would a user remember this acronym name? Also if I like the app and want to recommend it to others, the name is so strange that they won’t remember. I use iNaturalist app, the logo and the name of that app are both indicating what that app is. Your logo: is it a map? is it a location? How’s that logo telling me about the app? Please do some user research on the name and logo! They are pretty bad currently and maybe this is why you have such low download or reviews? User research this out and get a bit creative on branding please. Thanks for making this app, now try to get in in more peoples hands/phones by better branding.

The old Ontario app allowed users to view sightings and reports of invasive species on a map of North America. Why have you removed this feature? The app is great and is of great service to our community. Access to information on invasive species is important and should be shared.
