iNaturalist

The new app is annoying. -It tries to be cute with little animated graphics there is no extensible setting to shut off. This is a tedious time waste. -there is no way to shut off notifications for IDs by other people. I don't want to see the notification dot for that. I only want to see ideas of things that I uploaded and was curious about. -I can't seem to figure out how to upload two alternate photos of one organism, like the top and the underside of a dead insect, without creating two separate uploads.

This version is much more user friendly but it drains the battery. I would love to request additional function which is to provide a common name in local language along with the English name

It has greatly improved over the previous app, and I really think that all iNaturalist users should use this app now, as the user interface is so much friendlier and also up-to-date with modern design language of today. I would highly recommend that you get this app if you are an iNaturalist user. Nothing but praise from me!!

I’ve been using Seek and iNaturalist in tandem since they came out. As a wildlands manager, ethnobotanist, and backpacker I continue to try every species ID app out there and these have been far and away the best (though Cornell’s Merlin app combined with eBird is great for bird sound ID). This app takes it up a level by essentially combining the two. I can’t express how impressed I’ve been with the developers continue improvement over the years, really listening to the advice people offer, and I just want to express my gratitude. Thank You

As of Fall 2024, the developers are still working on the App, it I think this is a great improvement over the previous version. The app is also a wonderful gateway to resources that help us learn about the living things around us, contribute to science, and connect to a community of people invested in spreading and sharing knowledge about biodiversity.
