Fantastic app

This app is amazing, It’s very easy to use after finding where the species list is, can you add the Messor Genus please?

Important product I want to support; needs work

It’s taken me a while to find an ant identification app. It’s exciting to finally have this at my disposal and I intend to use it for ants I see.

Two suggestions:
I would like to see this app accommodate native species. Would just add more appeal.

The main one is that the user interface really REALLY needs work. I WANT to use this app, and there’s no other options, but it is very frustrating to navigate. I can’t imagine it being that difficult to make the app less of a headache to use. The lists inside of lists thing is rather obnoxious.

I really want this app to grow and improve. I hope someone behind this is out there to read this review.

Thanks
