Sausome

Amazing! Easy to use, fast, detailed. I’ve always been interested in a more natural lifestyle and seeing a recent episode and this app now I’m excited to get foraging. I really appreciate the immediately available functionalities - I’m already learning a lot!

One of the best

This app is fantastic! One of the best if not the best foraging app I have found. I am an intermediate level forager who moved to a new region. This app has been amazingly helpful teaching me the timing in the new area area AND making me aware of new look alike I had not encountered. This is a terrific app!

A dream app for foragers

I am 63 and grew up playing in the VA woods. I almost cried when I went through this app. I would never imagined that a technology would evolve that could collect and display the knowledge in my head. It’s like my grade school science classes with their ID drawings and collections of plants. Bravo and thank you.

Incredible info

This is such an amazing app. I am an outdoor educator and this is really a super interesting way to gain additional information about the plants and fungi around me. I’m always asked about edibility so this will be a great tool for educating my participants!
