Better in the field, better together. Collaborative trips now give you easier access to shared observations, selected map pins are clearer at a glance, Trek maps show your current location, and iNaturalist reconnecting is faster and easier.

Great functionality!

Better than the rest! Especially love the treks feature and how easy it is to share with others, and has great functionality for field biologists especially. Get out there and use it!

Simple, useful and easy to use

Kind of addictive, like the birding app I use. I just wanna keep adding to my list. I do like that I can add my friends so we can share pics and locations of herps we find since I’m not the best at keeping my phone handy to take pics. The trips/treks feature is REALLY cool. Definitely use it.

Excellent!

This is not an AI ID app. This is: “I know what I found and I want to record this observation/add to my life (or trip) list”
Better than other options and while it can send my observations to iNat if I want, this is much more of a personal record of my trips and finds than using only iNat.
Also the Trek (hike or road cruise) recording video exports are awesome to share with others (it retraces your route and shows what you found where)
