Snakes of Australia

This app doesn’t open. Charges you 4.99 but it doesn’t work. If it isn’t supported, remove it from sale.

This is an invaluable guide to Australian snakes. Unlike so many field guide apps it is far more interactive than a pdf style copy of a book. Some snakes show so much individual and geographic variation, particularly Pseudechis, that there can never enough photos in a field guide. This app is full of superb photos with multiple shots per species, each attributed with the location and photographer. The distribution maps showing validated records and presumed range are excellent (despite minor quibbles with some records and ranges). There is a brief text statement of distribution beneath each map. A larger green dot shows your location, so you can see whether you are in the range. The text is brisk and to the point, often with a useful comment on taxonomy and ecology. Finally the comparative feature showing two species at once is very handy.

Used to work great but now it won’t open

I noticed others have the same issue as me. The app downloads but doesn’t open on my I phone. Any clues?

Doesn’t want to open at all on the iPhone.

I don’t seem to be able to get the app to run on my iPhone 14pro max but it runs fine on my iPad

Don’t know what the apps like, can’t open it

Paid for this app - open it and it closes straightaway- have an iPhone 11

A very nice and educational app. The only problem is you cannot search for a place on the maps, instead you have to try and locate it .... a search function would be useful. Overall a wonderful app!

I found it difficult to identify a snake in my garden. I had to resort to google
