Nach dem Login entfällt dieser Minimalnutzen dann leider auch noch. ### 1/5 — Realitätsfern *2025-11-15, version 0.1.9* Wintergoldhähnchen im Februar in der Großstadt?Kann laut Gebietskoordinator nicht sein und wird deshalb nicht anerkannt. Seeadler überfliegt Großstadt bei Ornithologenexkursion: kann nicht sein und wird deshalb von Gebietskoordinator gestrichen. Es könnte ewig so weitergehen. Wirklich schlimm für die Kinder und Jugendlichen, die bei uns im Nabu mit dieser App arbeiten und sicher bestätigte Meldungen nicht anerkannt werden und von der Gnade der Gebietskoordinatoren abhängig sind. Deshalb: Realitätsferne App, bei uns im Nabu inzwischen von den Smartphones verschwunden. Richtig schlecht , da diese App viele gesicherte Meldungen fallen lässt und darum ein falsches Bild zeichnet. ### 1/5 — Accès payant injustifié *2025-07-29, version 0.1.9* Application payante pour consulter des données pourtant gratuites ailleurs. C’est vraiment regrettable, surtout pour une app censée soutenir la recherche. Ce genre de restriction va à l’encontre de l’objectif initial : faciliter l’accès à l’information. ### 3/5 — Absturzgefahr *2025-06-26, version 0.1.9* Würde der App mindestens einen Stern mehr geben, wenn sie nicht schon zum 2. Mal abgestürzt wäre, und das lästigerweise im Gelände während einer Erfassung. Auch beim Versuch, Eingaben zu korrigieren bzw. zurückzugehen, dreht sie durch. Außerdem lässt sich bei Einzel-Eingaben nicht ADEBAR2 als Erfassungsprojekg markieren. Da müsst Ihr echt noch dran basteln. ### 1/5 — Grrrrr *2025-05-02, version 0.1.9* Plein de fonctions payantes alors que c’est gratuit sur androïde…. Pour une application principalement dédiée au milieu naturaliste associatif… c’est rageant ### 1/5 — Luft nach oben *2025-04-13, version 0.1.9* Der „Entwickler-Support“ existiert nicht mehr, leider keine Rückfragen bzgl. Editierbarkeit der Listen möglich. Daher ist die App praktisch nicht nutzbar. ### 3/5 — Erfassungsprogramme *2025-03-05, version 0.1.9* Die App ist einfach zu bedienen und funktioniert soweit gut. Da ist auch einige Strecken kartiere würde ich mir wünschen, dass diese Strecken bei Naturalist hinterlegt werden könnten so dass ich die Daten für die Kartierungen direkt einsetzen könnte. Weiter wünschte ich eine Möglichkeit die Eigaben löschen zu können. ### 3/5 — Bonne appli mais en retard par rapport à Androïd *2025-01-27, version 0.1.9* Bonne appli que j’utilise tous les jours mais en comparaison avec Androïd, ça manque cruellement de fonctionnalités… à quand une mise à jour évolutive ? ### 3/5 — A quand la version non bêta ?? *2025-01-06, version 0.1.8* Aurons nous un jour la vrai version comme sur androïde ? J’ai du trouver un smartphone pour être sur le terrain car l’appli sur IPhone n’est TOUJOURS pas complète ! Manque les listes, des icônes… Bref on s’impatiente ! Merci à vous ### 5/5 — Super appli *2024-08-18, version 0.1.8* Super appli naturaliste que j’utilise depuis longtemps. Il est important de ce rendre dans la partie préférence de l’appli pour sélectionner les liste de taxons que l’on souhaite ## Frequently asked questions about NaturaList ### What does NaturaList do?
