Description of SMM WildFlowers

The National Park Service invites you to take along a virtual botanist the next time you visit the Santa Monica Mountains. With over 1000 plants and 7500 photos, this App offers both novice and advanced wildflower enthusiasts the opportunity to identify common and rare plants while exploring remote areas of the Santa Monica Mountains. Visitors can chose several basic flower characteristics on the App's interface like color, size and shape. Based on those characteristics, the App presents several possible photographs to compare to the actual flower. Flowers that are more difficult to identify often come with several photographs so that visitors can confidently make an accurate identification. The App is based off of the award winning website "Wildflowers of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area." An easy way to experience the content of the App before deciding to download is to visit the online version at the Park's website: www.nps.gov/samo. Click "Plan Your Visit" > Follow "Things To Do" then "Look For Wildflowers". There you will find a link called "Mobile Web Version - Smart Phones" that leads to the version of the WildFlower website that closely resembles the content of the App. A direct link to the mobile version is also available on the App's website. Or, here is the direct address: https://www.smmflowers.org/mobile/Bloom.htm The App resides entirely on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, so the content generally loads much more quickly than even the highest speed connection allows. An important benefit of this is that if you are out in remote places without a signal, you can still access all of the App's content. One consideration when downloading the App is that it takes up about 700MB (0.7GB) of the device’s internal memory due to the high number and resolution of the flower photographs.

beautiful but crashes way too much
Truly excellent photos (high quality images focused on the flower parts necessary for IDing). This app’s catalog of species is extremely comprehensive (includes the majority of taxa in the SMMNRA. The organization is also really good: searchable using by taxonomic family or scientific name or common name....
HOWEVER, I have this it installed on my iPhone SE (with plenty of available memory) but it frequently (over & over & over again) crashes while I do searches. This is frustrating because, otherwise, this is a pretty wonderful app. Updates shouldn’t abandon relevance for the still widely used iPhone SE. Not everyone drops several hundred dollars every few years to get a new mobile phone when older models are still completely functional.

Easy to use and reliable. Great photos. Links to more detailed plant descriptions. Well illustrated. Thank you to the app creator for enhancing my hiking experiences.

Great app for the Santa Monica mountains
I love this app! I have been using it everyday this spring to identify the flowers I come across while spending time in the mountains. It would be even better if I could tick the flowers I have identified. The old memory is not what it used to be!
