### 3/5 — Needs more species

*2021-12-13, version 1.31*

I hope you will continue to update the species on the app. There are so many more species of grass, sedge and rush alone that need to be on this app.

### 3/5 — Needs updating to ios11

*2018-04-10, version 1.31*

Good for identifying things when out and about. Though for £2.99, I hope an update is due to fine tune it for ios11. There are a few graphics glitches - for example, when scrolling, the information scrolls up into the time/signal/battery bar at the top which doesn't look great. Also it would be good to have a 'browse' capability for revision rather than 'identifying'. Otherwise a sound app.

### 4/5 — Lots of great information - could be better

*2016-06-19, version 1.1*

First impressions were that you are presented with a simple method of identification. But it is frustrating not to have a search option to go straight to something you know the name of but want to check the identification details against. Also the information tab(s) appear not to work properly by not giving all the detail: i.e. ending mid sentence and not providing a scroll/swipe up/down function to see all the information

### 5/5 — Flora and fauna

*2015-05-02, version 1.1*

Amazing app being a trainee mountain leader I find it an invaluable tool when I'm in the mountains so easy to use I recommend it to everyone

### 5/5 — Just what any aspiring mountaineer needs

*2014-05-31, version 1.1*

Such a good app. Everything you need in your pocket.

### 5/5 — App

*2014-05-20, version 1.1*

Fantastic. Can't believe I've stumbled around our Mountains for years missing out on so much. Best app I've purchased in a long while.

### 5/5 — Splendid

*2014-05-20, version 1.1*

Excellent clear information, please keep adding to the database.

### 5/5 — Great pocket guide!

*2014-05-17, version 1.1*

Fantastic pocket guide for the flora and fauna in our mountains! Have already found and identified flowers and lichens I have never seen before, really like the alternate info you get on the flowers! Absolute bargain

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2014-05-15, version 1.1*

Best £1.99 I have ever spent! I spend a lot of my life in the mountains and have never really given flora and fauna a thought, that is until I found this app. Now I spend most of my days scrolling through the app looking for the names of plants and animals I see. I am yet to find something that is not mentioned in this app.
Very user friendly and VERY detailed.
I am now after a job with Ray Mears!

### 5/5 — Great app for the hills!

*2014-02-06, version 1.0*

A handy app for the mountains. Good pictures and descriptions. I especially like the flower finder. 
I will be recommending to my outdoor friends.
