Could not add photos

Having had the app on my phone for several years, when I came to use it I couldn’t add add my photos. I tried to adjust all settings for some time then gave up. Note: I’ve had an iPhone for 10+ years, work in IT, and never had such an issue.

No camera or photo permissions so it’s useless.

Your developers have forgotten to add the camera or photos entitlement to the app. So there’s no push to ask for permission but also no manual option in the main iOS settings. This makes uploading or taking a photo completely impossible. Either fix this or just give up.

Waste of time

Don’t bother no one comes back to you

Change of names

As the “powers to be” have now decided to change the name of the Asian Hornet to Yellow Legged Hornet , can you consider updating the name on the app.
Also as there are other hornets from Asia on the way you might consider adding these to the reference species the ID guide.
Can you add the European wasp to the ID chart, as there are people reporting these as suspect.

Thanks

ASIAN HORNETS

We have them in our garden and when we’re in the pool it’s like they are incredible territorial and are flying at us what do we do? We have very small children (Bournemouth Dorset uk)

App keeps hanging

Trying to report but every time I go to upload I just get the spinning disc and the app hangs before timing out. I’ve tried registering but the same thing happens. Renders it unusable. Couldn’t find a technical support link either.

irecord sheet

from DEFRA there’s a link to the irecord sheet to record sightings of the Asian Hornet and other specified non-native flora and fauna

Would be good if it worked

Signing up you get a 500 error, and it won’t let you upload.

Link to fact sheet still broken

The link is to the government’s DEFRA site - failure to fix this does not give one a great deal of confidence in the determination of DEFRA to deal with this looming environmental and food security crisis.

Good app but link broken

Good, clear pictures and descriptions to aid comparison/identification but link to Asian Hornet fact sheet is broken.

Broken link

The link to the DEFRA fact sheet about the Asian hornet leads to a "page not found" error on the GOV.UK website.

To report this on the developer's website one needs to register with them. This seems to me to be unnecessary just to report an issue.

Help, Asian Hornets U.S.A.

Been trying to get more news on Asian Hornets here in the U.S.A, I really believe we have them here in the U.S, I got some which looks so close if not , sure have the same marking as the Asian hornets, they are as big as my thumb, I don’t want to get stung by any of them, very loud, big, they sure make a lot of noise, don’t know who to call to help, I have come so close to getting attacked, Any help sure would be nice, don’t know if it’s law not to kill them or not, but I want to KILL.

Giant horsefly reference.

Dear sir madam. Just a correction to the biting human reference. This fly always bites humans. It will follow you for a mile to bite you and it hurts.

Really bad app.

No ability to send a photo. If there is, I couldn’t see it, which shows that it is bad.
No instructions on how to complete such as:-
- Please tell us where you found this
- do you have a body of the hornet available
Etc

No longer installs

Presumably been so long since any software upgrades have taken place, it won’t install on my iphone running latest iOS

Asian Hornet Review

The guidance related to login and/or change of password is particularly useless. The email message for change is prompt but any attempt to change your password or login is blocked and generally impossible to remedy. I could not even send the review! Please sort out the problems.

Doesn’t work

Tried several times to upload a sighting but it kept timing out and wouldn’t send.

Good app. The only suggestion would be a few more images in the identification gallery of their underside. The closest I get to Hornets is when they are battering the window panes at night. So images of the same underside view would be helpful. Alan

Needs fixing

Trying to report a Asian Hornet and it won’t let me fill out my info other than my email.
As you need to fill out the other boxes it won’t submit it.

Fantastically well thought out and relevant app

Fab pics and just the right amount of detail for those who are interested in recording the spread of this pest. Gently expanded my knowledge of the winged insects in our garden too. Thank you very much to the developers.
