Excellent

I love inaturalist and other than ID books never use anything else. I highly recommend.

Classic is sometimes better!

I’ve been using iNaturalist & Seek for over 3 years. While the new iNaturalist app is alright, this one is my #1 go-to for any IDs I want to upload or contribute to. It’s faster, uploads are more stable, and is exactly how I like to manage observations. I really only use the newer version for the integrated Seek-like IDing feature and for filtering observations.

I think I’d be devastated if this one was suspended…

Love love love this app!

I’m very much an amateur, but love snapping plants or wildlife I come across during my dog walks. The app either immediately identifies things, or experts give their opinion within hours. The plus is that you are adding to a worldwide database.

Brings me SO much joy!

Love it!! Connects me to nature & my community so well, and I’ve learned so much!

Backyard Biology

So cool to learn about the natural environment in my own space.

Inconsistent

It’s a great concept, but my experience so far is that the App is glitchy. It regularly crashes and closes when I’m in the middle of entering data. And often it doesn’t save edits.

Science for everyone

I love how accessible this app makes learning about plants I see everyday.

I love you iNaturalist

I have like 300 observations of critters that I’ve posted and I want more.
This site has a thorough amount of info on the taxonomy and behaviors and pictures of a lot of species which makes identifying bugs and birds and fish and plants and pretty much everything substantially easier. I don’t think there’s a better site for it.

This also has info on ranges that is really useful as well as indicating species that are threatened, native or nonnative. The website on computer is better for this (as well as sorting by sex, dead or alive, age of organism) so updates for mobile would be helpful—

the new iNaturalist app might be advancing in these but I wouldn’t know because I think this app is leagues better in terms of organization and efficiency, it makes more sense here.

Wonderful

Thanks for making this tool free to all

So much fun!

Have loved using iNaturalist to identify everything from stary sea skates to leopard slugs, bumble bees to wildflowers. Easy to use, tons of information, just too much fun!

Best App

INaturalist was suggested to us by a national park naturalist in Arizona. We have enjoyed using it ever since. You have to carefully review the options suggested, but it has expanded my knowledge of the natural world.

Life Changing

I am learning the names of all the living things around me. I find joy and jubilation in being connected to other naturalists.

Terrific app

Great way to learn about the natural world. I love being a citizen scientist.

You will love it and so will nature!

I LOVE this app! It is so easy to use and I learn so much and I love how scientifically rigorous it is and that the data is used by scientist to help protect species.
