iNaturalist Classic

Лучшее приложение из всех, которым приходилось пользоваться. Спасибо огромное экспертам, которые помогают.

There are many amateur naturalists, not only the professional ones. But still, they want everyone to come with a Ph.D. knowledge in the topics, and if you make even a small mistake, some curators begin to publicly humiliate and insult you for this mistake.

A great resource for anyone remotely interested in nature.

The application does not open!

So nice to have the ability to identify flora, funga, and fauna all in one place.

I love this app! However, I wish that there was a feature that would show you what flora/fauna had been seen recently in an area. That way I could keep an eye out for specific animals such as migratory birds that only stop briefly in an area. It would also be nice to have when travelling to a new area. I also wish it was easier to tell which observations have not yet become research grade on the map. That way I can more easily find and identify observations that need a second opinion. Finally, I think there should be a key to the map on the app. Now that I am familiar with the layout I know what all the colours mean, but a new user would not know this from the get-go unless they went to the website. Overall, these are very minor wishes- inat has been amazing otherwise!

I’ve been using iNaturalist for a few years and it’s by far the most amazing resource I’ve found for learning how to identify plant species that I don’t know. As long as I take good photos the app is able to find the exact matching species almost every time. It’s also great to learn from so many other people around the world who have more experience than me.

Not very useful if you’re in the woods. Great if you are in a city with strong internet.

It works.

Powerful app to identify and contribute to the general knowledge about “who else lives here” including plants, mammals, birds, insects, fungi, algae, etc. A combination of machine-learning algorithms and knowledgeable human experts helps ID each observation. You can take photos while you are out and upload them later, or try to get suggested IDs on site. If you are an expert about a taxonomic group or a specific area, perhaps you can contribute IDs to the observations of others. The observations are available to scientists (and anyone) who might want to use them in their work, or just to see what has been observed near by. It’s the best and most accurate way i have found to learn the local species (aside from studying a real binomial key), without relying on sketchy IDs.
