Jetzt soll man aber 10€/Jahr zahlen, während die bisherige App einmalig für 18€ gekauft werden konnte. Da hätte ich mehr erwartet von einer „neuen“ App. Aber Abo hin oder her, die Orthoptera-App bleibt die beste App für Heuschrecken. ## Frequently asked questions about Orthoptera ### What is Orthoptera?
