I LOVE THIS APP! I wish everyone had it, and would be amazed by the fact that nearly every ant, fly, flower, blade of grass has a name and story! It would be fun if it was more game-ified I wish there was a little more social aspect, I'd love to be more able to follow my friends and see what they've been recording/observing, and help ID! I couldn't find a way on the app to follow friends, but found them online, but then there doesn't seem to be any benefit once you're back on the app.

I love that I can identify almost anything and that it helps contribute to science. But I really wish once identified I could get some more information about the plant/ animal etc. Especially if it is native/ invasive. It would also be great if the conservation status was listed, and some tips on how we could help or encourage that type of butterfly into our garden (for example)

I love this app! Been using it for a few years now to identify plants and animals. Unfortunately recently the record sound feature has stopped working and is just freezing and crashing the app. It's a bummer because I'd really like to identify bird calls I'm hearing.
