Bryophyte Lens now works fully offline — the AI models live on your device, so you can identify mosses, liverworts and hornworts deep in the forest with no signal at all. Also new: • Live ID — point your camera and get continuous identifications as you move, no shutter button needed • Retrained AI models — noticeably better accuracy, including sharper Polytrichum and Sphagnum • The interactive field key, rebuilt — one unified key you can browse freely, with species pages and smarter navigation • Common names alongside scientific names in the guide • Community: reply to comments, comments in order, species chips on posts
