Re-released to get rid of "expired" issue.

User reviews

Great app, get rid of the image behind the menus!

This is a great app and very comprehensive guide to the Australian bat fauna / removed a star from the rating for something that is totally trivial but quite annoying - the image of the bat behind the menus! Get rid of that and return to 5 stars !! It hurts my eyeballs

An essential resource

This app is essentially an update on Sue Churchill’s excellent book. The text is detailed and informative. It includes family and species keys, maps from Batmap, measurements, photos and audiograms. I’ve used it to key several bats now and learned a bit in the process.

The one glitch I’ve encountered is when switching screens (e.g. between the app and photos) it resets to the splash screen forcing you to step back through to the family, bioregion and species each time - and I find a need to flick backwards and forwards on each trait (iphone 15 pm ios 18.0.1). This is a dreary bug that could be easily remedied.

One question - what is the source for the numbered regions used? There doesn’t seem to be a reference (a general issue for the text) and they don’t coincide with IBRA7 bioregions.
