### 2/5 — So-so

*2021-08-19*

A so-so app. I did purchase as I found the ads annoying. The ads are still annoying. Even after update and then a reinstall. Money gone with the app soon to follow.  There are great possibilities here if the app is further developed.

### 5/5 — Good Butterfly ID App

*2018-08-14*

I lost my Audubon butterfly app after iPhone upgrade and couldn’t find another till now. Keyed out 3 species seen in the mountains of Idaho with no problems. Pay the little extra and get rid of the ads! Well worth the little bit to do that. Thanks!
