  • every fungal enthusiast should have it!

    great app for all mycology needs.
  • An app every mycologist should have

    This app is the best, and it’s free, double whammy. Best app for foraging and keeping logs, everyone with a passion for mycology should know about this app.
  • Camera functions works perfectly!

    The app rocks and the developer has figured out the camera function. Super easy to use and helpful while foraging! Thanks for this :).
  • Pretty but not practical

    The user experience for uploading a photo is totally not functional. Even taking a photo within app using camera doesn’t work. Everything else seems to work well, but the photo access issue is a very basic feature. Basically not worth using due to it not working. Please fix.
  • Photo function needs a little work!

    I haven’t had a chance to actually utilize this app because the photograph function will not allow me to upload pictures that I have taken recently. The app will not allow you to open a folder with photographs; therefore, you have to scroll forever to find the photograph that you want to upload.

    I think if this were to be fixed then it could be a neat app. I’m interested in utilizing it once that’s addressed. 😬

  • Photo support

    I downloaded this a couple weeks ago. Today I got a chance to go hunting, found my first mushroom and got all set to add it to the log. I could not get a picture added. I tried taking and uploading from photo album. Would love to figure this out.

    Developer Response

    Very sorry to hear that. The library I have been using to handle the camera + photo album is no longer being actively worked on, which seems to be causing some unexpected behavior. I will be releasing a new version of the app in the coming weeks, with some fixes to how photos specifically are handled. Hopefully that will fix the issues you are seeing. If not, please let me know via https://mycolog.sumerit.com/issues. I want to make sure everyone can actually use this :).
  • So close and yet so far

    I am so sad because this app is almost terrific, however...with iOS 12.0, the photo function is unusable. If I want to use a photo from my library, they are in a somewhat chronological order from older to newer (a real problem when you have thousands of images). I say newer not newest because a my last photo was not at the end. Very disappointing after all that swiping. There is no way to access photo folders, and worst of all, when you take a photo from within the app and save it, it is replaced with the oldest image in my photo library. Every mushroom I’ve photographed so far has been transformed into the same lovely necklace. When the photo thing is resolved, I’m sure I’ll give this app 4 or 5 stars...but until then it is unusable.

    Yikes that sounds very frustrating! I will take a look at that issue. I have not done much testing on iOS 12, so hopefully it's something simple.
  • Doesn’t work on iOS 10.0

    Something wrong with it. I can’t use it on iPhone 7 Plus iOS 10.0. Most of the time when I click on Explore it crashes.
    Data for the maps is taken from iNaturalist, but I find maps on iNaturalist are better.
  • Decent for free before updating to 11.4

    For a free app I thought this was a pretty decent offering. After updating to ios11.4 though I am saddened to find out the app no longer works.

    Developer Response

    Hmm, that's interesting. I have tested the app on 11.4 and I didn't see any specific issues. I'm releasing a new version soon so hopefully that will fix the issues you are having!
  • Amazing Program

    When it comes to identifying fungi, the devil is in the details and and if that’s the case then this app was made with a whole demon invasion in mind. It’s a one stop shop for all components of mushroom identification. It has colour gradients for the cap, stipe, and spore print which is a huge help when you aren’t sure if you should call that one mushroom you found brownish-yellow or yellowish-brown. The UI is sleek and clean and the features it offers are amazing

    10/10
