Epicness App

This app is likeee sooo goood oh em gee. Its so epic and awesome and helps so much! #SpotTheWild

solid app!

App is quite nice, with good ID info and reporting tools. One challenge is that, in offline mode, photos of the species are not saved for me — if the app is still being maintained, that would be an awesome thing to address! Considering pushing this app to citizen scientists, and that would be a good tool for them.

Waste of time

I thought this app could help me report invasive hammerhead worm but it doesn’t .

Missing some invasive species

Excellent idea for an app and great design. One problem though, the most common invasive species I see in national forests is Bos taurus and its not listed as an option for reporting. When will Bos taurus be added as an option?

Decent but room for improvement

First of all, I love the idea of the app. But it has its flaws. Namely not as many national forests as there really should be...a total of 27 as of writing this, not even enough for one in each US state. I’m from Pennsylvania and the closest forest to me is 200 or so miles away. And the majority of the forests listed are further than that. Other than that, I think it’s decent, just needs more forests. Maybe an app like iNaturalist can partner with this app?

Response from developer

We are going to be continuing to add new forests and hope to have all of them as well as other places like parks and wildlife refugees in the next few years.

No wild areas near me

The closest area listed is 200 miles away. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to use this app.

Can’t do anything with the app.

It comes up with a list of wild places that I am not near. Can’t figure out what to do with it.

👍👍👍

Works for me!!

App does not work

Only the list of NF comes up...can’t get to any other screens. Not sure what the problem is.
