Helps you, helps the frogs and helps conservation….. win, win, win!

NO AI FEATURES PLEASE

Would be giving this a 5 star-rating but I was very disappointed to see that in the app updates there was mention of a beta-ai feature to be added.
Will not be updating the app and if it becomes unavoidable I really hope this ai feature is strictly an opt-in feature rather than automatic inclusion to the apps function!!
I don’t need ai to decide what frog species I am listening to, the app already has great recordings that help you decide which is your frog species- and then the experts final decision!

Please update!

Love this but my recordings lately won’t upload, nor are any of my previous recordings in my profile anymore

Great but can’t submit 😕

I love this app but for the last 4 times I’ve tried to submit a recording it says it can’t upload and to try later but when I check my profile for Not Submitted/Pending Upload all recordings have disappeared.
