Best Foraging App Ever

Everything you need to know what to do and what to avoid. I am a horticulturalist, and am thoroughly impressed. Amazingly complete list of natives!! Love love love

Good

Absolutely the best app ever made if you’re a forager!

I normally don’t rate apps, but this one is an absolute gem! It’s so packed full of knowledge, and I love that it also has a notification option to let you know when local edibles might be coming into season in your area! β€” I cannot praise this app enough!

Love it, truly a wonderful app! A gift to foraging community and.. it lacks the community aspect

It would be great to add friends who I forage with, I can’t justify paying for this app without that add, especially with inaturalist and seek already doing a great job for identification..
