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

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.

App not working properly

Tried to add a sighting of a invasive species & it Got stuck on upload data and hitting clear doesn’t clear the upload and the upload error says “it says invalid server response from upload”. Also it asks to login but there no login option. Not very happy with it right now. I hope you fix it soon.

Great to have this app but…

To the developers: I haven’t used this app yet because plants haven’t woken up yet where I live. I’ll update this review once I truly use the app. I downloaded the app few days ago, just saw it on my phone and wondered to myself “what does this app?” And I didn’t know until I opened it. As a user I suggest that the app name is changed to something more intuitive than an acronym, which may make sense to you but not to the user. If I’m walking around in the nature and want to quickly pull up this app, with all the apps I have on my phone, I would need to use the search feature of my phone to find it but searching for something with such a strange/unintuitive name is impossible. The name may not be strange to you, but see it from the user’s perspective: how would a user remember this acronym name? Also if I like the app and want to recommend it to others, the name is so strange that they won’t remember. I use iNaturalist app, the logo and the name of that app are both indicating what that app is. Your logo: is it a map? is it a location? How’s that logo telling me about the app? Please do some user research on the name and logo! They are pretty bad currently and maybe this is why you have such low download or reviews? User research this out and get a bit creative on branding please. Thanks for making this app, now try to get in in more peoples hands/phones by better branding.

Why have you removed the sightings map

The old Ontario app allowed users to view sightings and reports of invasive species on a map of North America. Why have you removed this feature? The app is great and is of great service to our community. Access to information on invasive species is important and should be shared.
