iRecord Butterflies

The app is ok for butterflies, but it didn’t have any of the moths I had caught in the moth trap

This is not an app for the general public, it’s for trained scientists or butterfly experts… who would not need the app, surely? One is expected to identify by choosing between geometrids or fritillaries etc. most people would not know this! Some identification options are in long lists that run off the bottom of the screen. You cannot scroll to the next option below. A disappointment and in a smaller phone at least, unusable.

Hi. Fourth time of reloading this app. Why ? Because it keeps freezing on me. VERY annoying as the only way to sort is delete and reload. After reload all my uploaded record vanish. OK still I assume on iRecord somewhere but…. Please sort ! I GIVE UP !!! Crashed again so I have now deleted permanently. Will just not bother.

I’ve been using this app for several years but it doesn’t seem to be working properly - keep getting a message ‘server unavailable’

Can’t get it to upload sightings despite reloading app and starting again. Get the same error message each time sorry upload failed

I have just tried to upload two sightings from September but these have been unsuccessful due to a “network error”. I am also unable to load the app statistics. All my other apps are currently working and connected to the internet as I write this. I also tried the image cropping feature and as you zoom in to your butterfly it turns into a giant blob. Not suitable for photos taken at a distance and I would say that it really distorts the image. Usually the app works quite well.

This is a very user-friendly App for rapidly and systematically identifying UK butterflies and recording relevant data, such as the geographical position where the butterfly was seen. You can easily add a mobile phone photo of the butterfly to your record and quickly upload everything to the iRecord website. I strongly recommend this App !

This is a great app, very user friendly. It shows the butterflies in your area for the current time of year which makes identification much easier. I have spent the last year and a half making my garden into a butterfly friendly area. My efforts have paid off and it’s great to be able to record my sightings and make a very small contribution to the national monitoring of these beautiful creatures.

Love this app. Information and easy to use.

A great app. Whether you’re looking for information on butterfly identification, want to record a one-off sighting or conduct a full survey of butterflies, this is THE app.
