Wish there was an option to block spiders
This app is great fun, I really enjoy seeing what people in my area have posted but I wish there was some way to block seeing a main species, my phobia of spiders is so strong I cannot see photos of them so it can be hard to browse knowing they are mixed in with all the other observations. Secondly I can never get the map icons to open up an observation, this feature only works for me on the web version? I also wish the icons got much bigger as you zoom in on them in the map. Overall such a great concept and way to track animal populations

Another bought out app
I recently discovered this app, recommended by someone on TikTok. So I downloaded it earlier, hoping to discover new spiders in my home! But ofcourse, I do research into apps I support. It didn’t take me long to find out they accepted a 1.5 million deal by google to use ai. A bunch of their users protested and stopped using the app. It is such a shame to see an app lose its trusted followers just for extra money.
Although they are not using the most common wide spread ai that is getting hated on and destroying environments, currently. This most likely won’t stop them from doing such in the future. The pushback from their community stopped them from their most recent ai project, so I’ve read. So the only reason they stopped was not because of morals, but because of how their community appropriately reacted. Apparently they stopped using a ai summary tool, most likely similar to what google does when you search up something now on there. But this doesn’t mean they won’t use harmful ai in the future if they can be bought out.
The app is so good to use and I’d hate to lose it if I see more harmful ai as I continue to use the app.

Favourite App
Absolutely love this app. It has become one of my biggest hobbies, exploring in the woods or around my neighborhood finding animals, plants, etc. Feels like Pokémon + science.
Lack of Explanation about App Updates
The app developer keeps updating this app but always fails to explain what exactly changes or why.
Are there bug fixes? Privacy changes? Security issues? There seems to be a big lack clarity by the developer.

The numerous updates keep improving it and making it better.
