Enjoyable and easy to use format

Could do with some instructions regarding the quiz scoring … what do the colour circles mean?
Quite a lot of missing fungi …. I can’t match all my photos to those on the app.

Review by Evan Bayton

Good general source of elementary to intermediate level. Sensibly does not encourage use as a foraging guide. There is a growing awareness of need for local knowledge for that and the limitations of morphology in identification of what is still a very imperfectly understood life form.
Recommended for general education.

Love the app. Just a little tweak.

I’m learning a lot from 5 different Sunbird Apps including this one. I use the quizzes everyday to learn. One thing I would tweak is the option to eradicate some of the species from the quiz once you have learned them. A lot of them I have fully learned but if I could adjust the quiz so that I was only left with the ones I didn’t know then I could really get to the depths of learning to ID them. I hope they read this. Thanks, Sunbird.

Identify a great App

A fantastic app great pictures. Excellent key for identification, adds another dimension to a walk in the woods fun easy to use well thought out application

Needs a big update! PLEASE READ!

I have only just downloaded this. And there is so much that needs tweaking.

-When i add a sighting i need to be able to choose where i saw the fungi myself, not by using my current location.

- instead of just ‘edible’ and ‘inedible’ you need a poisonous in there and hallucinogenic? Fly agaric is a hallucinogenic... so we need more detail about taste and everything!
AND A DEATH CAP WILL KILL YOU!! so don’t just out it down as poisonous. It should be down as do not go near! And how to tell it is a death cap by its volva etc.
I’ve payed for an app, literally handing you my money, for minimal information. Now you have my money put it into some use and care. I am so frustrated right now. Also where about in england we would fine these etc.
ALSO history about the fungus too!!
God how can you let people pay for this! The more i play around with the app the worse i find it.

- the way to tell the mushroom apart from its imposers? A turkeytail is flexible at any age and all of its poisonous/indelible imposters will just crumble and will be very hard to move around!

-i should be able to add MORE than ONE picture on my sightings? Why can i not.

- more detail about the flavour of the edible mushrooms etc.
For instance you have a turkeytail down as inedible, where as in-fact it is edible, it is just fowl tasting.

-The app should have a button where i can tap the latin name and it will teach me how to pronounce it.

I do not know how you have 4.4*..

It is a very laggy app. I am quite disappointed that i payed £4.
Can you email me with my money back please. This is ridiculous.
