I have become completely addicted to this app. I love it! Two small issues have recently crossed up for me, though: sometimes my observations are double posted after completing the info only once; also, it appears to *constantly* be "preparing, cleaning up, syncing" over and over non-stop this is definitely leading to battery drain and data munching (especially an issue when I'm on the trail and have poor or no reception). Other than that, it's brilliant! I wish more people in my community were on it (but I've started spreading the word...).

Decent app, but the website amazing and using both at the same time makes the app experience so much better. Very little guidance for new users so you have to figure a lot of things out for yourself (e.g. adding multiple photos to an observation, adding an identification, seeing community interaction). Some bugs such as duplication during upload.

I love it!! Has served me well over the past year. It is a little buggy... (ha ha ha), I have never experienced any crashes (using the S8+), but find that some of my pictures have disappeared from the app. When I check my profile on the website they're all there. Also when I upload several photos to an observation and edit them, and then "make 1st" or delete one of the photos, all of the edits disappear. Still a great app though.
