User reviews

Great application to SPI

The school has been using the app for about three years for the Year 7 Biology class to identify invertebrate at three locations along the same creek. Students draw up an excel spreadsheet and determine the stream pollution index (SPI). The SPI is compared.

Incorrect taxonomy

The app is easy to use, but contains a large number of taxonomic errors. For example, Naucoridae is not Trichoptera, but Hemiptera. Also, the photo labelled as a Simuliidae is actually a Culicidae. These must be rectified to make the app useful.

Update for iPhone!

I would love to be able to use this on my iPhone! Please update!!
