Should be able to filter map by species reports
Besides the already mentioned difficulties with location at time of report vs actual sighting location it would be great if we could see all the pins for reports made for a specific species. Would be super useful for animals like bullfrogs rather than having to comb through the map at various zooms when trying to find places to catch them. I get that isn’t the current goal of the app but it seems like a useful way for community engagement especially for edible animals.

Could be great
Could be an awesome thing but I like to explore in areas with no cell service and because I cannot pin a location (you can only report from your current location) I cannot report invasive. I have an offline map app where I have recorded the location of 50+ instances of invasive species and I just have to wait for an update.

Please Update
Need updated list of invasive species in bc, and the screen is still small as if it were meant for a smaller iPhone, makes it feel like it’s a neglected app.
Ok, need improvements
I have just started using this app as there are numerous invasive species in my home area.
There are a number of invasive species that are not included in the lists such as Myrtle spurge (Euphorbia myrsinities) that can be located on the actual BC Invasives website.
The photographs that I have so far viewed on this app are not particularly high resolution or very clear.
There are no proper descriptions as one might find in a plant identification key; this would be helpful to those of us capable of using one.
Thanks for the App, please do more advertising so many others will use it.

Limited search ability
No visual search. Can’t narrow plants by characteristics other than colour of flower. Limited usefulness.
Good app
Good app is limited by only being allowed to report location of user at the time of report. I am often in area without data coverage, or in a situation where I could not stop and complete a report but rather just take a picture, and would have to report after the fact. Other citizen science apps such as iNaturalist and eBird allow for location to be chosen if report is not ‘real time’ with observation. Pls consider this for app updates.

Very Useful
The app uses little to no data, and is overall very easy to navigate. I mostly use it out in the bush, where I generally haven’t got time to muck about, so the ability to sort through species by colour is very appreciated.
9 out of 10, nothin’ I love more than angrily tearing apart plants in a way that’s beneficial to the environment.

Great start but needs work
Could use some refinement on the map like only one species view and more information and description on each species and date reported and status of each report
