【为什么做「寻蝶记」这样一个产品?】 我是有一个8岁小朋友的奶爸,在家期间经常陪孩子捉蝴蝶、做蝴蝶标本。或买或借了一些蝴蝶图鉴,孩子大人都喜欢查找捉到的蝴蝶是什么品种、生活习性。 期间碰到了几个问题: 1. 图鉴书上不一定有捉到的蝴蝶品种,有图片的不一定有习性分布等信息,毕竟受限于纸质的篇幅; 2. 野采时不知道去哪,特别是去一个陌生城市时,即便一些国家森林公园,也不一定是一个好的野采点; 3. 记录野采的蝴蝶和过程不太方便,体感不好; 所以「寻蝶记」希望完成以下几点: 「蝶」:完整的蝶库信息,图片、习性、尺寸、分布等; 「记」:野采记录,方便自己统计、分享,圈子共建; 「寻」:野采点位共享;(前期数据量不足,暂时不开放) 希望通过「寻蝶记」App,让每一次与蝴蝶的相遇都变得更加美好和有意义,让更多的人爱上蝴蝶,保护大自然的美丽生灵。 【 为什么叫「寻蝶记」这个名字?】 1. “寻蝶”-取自杨万里的诗句“儿童急走追黄蝶,飞入菜花无处寻。”; 2. “记”-野采记录是主要的功能之一。 【会员续费说明】 1.连续包月说明 --订阅周期:31天。 --订阅价格:每月12元。 2.连续包年说明 --订阅周期:365天。 --订阅价格:每年28元。 3.其他规则 --付款:通过用户的iTunes账户扣款,用户确认购买后即付款。 --续订:苹果iTunes账户会在到期前24小时内扣费,扣费成功后订阅周期顺延1个订阅周期。 --取消续订:如需取消续订,请在当前扣费期前至少24小时操作,操作方法:从Home页进入[设置]一>点击[iTunes Store与App Store]一>点击[Apple ID],选择[查看 Apple ID]一>[账户设置了一>点击[订阅],选择连续包月\连续包周\连续包年取消订阅即可。 --自动续费会员服务协议:https://www.anjingpai.com/xundieji/pay_policy.html。
