What happened to Tasmania?

I love this app- when I’m in Victoria. When are you going to bring back the iPhone version of the Tasmanian edition?

please Read

it would be 5 star but you removed the map that highlighted where the animal was found which in my opinion was one of the best features. Please bring it back.

Location identification was better before.

To find where said fauna is located, there was a map of Australia and the fauna location was coloured in. This is the best way to see where they are located.
No more maps in the update which makes it more difficult to see where particular fauna is located.
It takes a lot of time to search the locations online.
Apart from that, not a bad app in general. More updates are needed to add to the fauna database.

I absolutely love this app

I absolutely love this app and before the recent “update” I would have given 6 stars out of 5 because it’s so great. I use the app regularly on my walks and when I’m out and about.

The reason I’ve dropped my rating back to a 4 is because the maps have been removed!!! Why have you done this? They were SO useful and I used them often.

Please please bring the maps back. If you do, I will immediately raise my rating to 5🌟

Thank you for an excellent app, that will be close to perfect once tha maps are returned. 🤩

Love this app …

… but really missing the maps in the recent update.

Hopefully there will be more funding - audio files for more of the birds, frogs and other wildlife calls would be nice!

The photos are great, but often we can only hear our little friends out there in our gardens or in the wild.
