This app helps reptiles and amphibians conservation and helps me me keep track of what I find!

Won’t allow me to submit record

I tried to submit a record and it won’t let me manually change location and the location it added from my own gps isn’t allowed because it doesn’t understand what my altitude is

Not for novices

This app requires prior knowledge of the herp, it is not for ID like iNaturalist. Very basic login and rough search function. Could definitely use a young person to clean it up and improve UI. Has full citizenship science scistarter functionality though.

False information

I was got the app. I got in it, and found out there was one option. It showed me the main screen, and I only saw to make a progress tracker on herping. It didn’t show the recording thing or how to get any of the other screens.
