### 2/5 — Pygmy bearded dragon

*2022-10-24, version 2*

Good app would be good if there was Pygmy bearded dragon also know as black soil bearded dragon (pogona henrylawsoni ) .

### 4/5 — Great app

*2021-03-07, version 2*

I love the pictures and it is very user friendly. Inclusion of less common species would be welcomed along with a way to record species identified. I would love to be able to check off the things I have identified.

### 5/5 — Wonderful App!

*2017-09-05*

I'm new to Australia and I've been really wanting a good wildlife field guide. This is a really nice, well made app that's easy to use and ad free. There are some things that do not have sound clips and a few birds missing, but this is wonderfully informative and helpful. Thanks so much for making this lovely app! If you incorporate info on tree identification, I would be in heaven!

This app is great but has very limited species of turtles,fish,frogs and lizards PLZ update your NSW and Queensland guide!!! I will pay $10 for the update if it has a lot more of these animals in it. If you can fix this it will make this app 100000x better, thx😃

### 3/5 — Its got potential

*2014-10-29, version 1.1*

There is barely any bird sounds. This and all the other field guides including. SA. WA. NT. VIC. QLD. NEED to be updated to have more audio. If you can. Include all audio. Without sounds its hard to classify
