Reviews of Rockd

Love it but…

I really enjoy using this app and appreciate how well it functions overall. As a geologist and amateur paleontologist, I find it incredibly useful. However, I’ve noticed that the taxa tab can take some time to load, which can be a bit challenging during my work. I’d love to see this area optimized in future updates to make the experience even better. Thank you for your hard work!
