Can’t select species

The species search function is broken. Nothing comes up under any of the species lists when I search either using common or scientific names so I can’t log anything

Update- fixed. Unusable- Crashes immediately

Thanks for fixing the issue!!!
The app crashes right at the start as soon as you select your state/province.

App Crashes Continuous

The app keeps crashing after selecting my state and whenever I return to the app, the state selection is still there and keep crashing after each selection is made

Recovering local ecology

I am converting property to ON Native plants and am glad to find a resource where I can notify the government of the invasives I find. My journey started with wild parsnip invading my yard

Crashes

After selecting my state in the map (Georgia) it freezes and goes nowhere. Thankfully, there is a website that does what the app does.
