I like this app, it's easy to use. Unfortunately, some records are still not being verified. I totally understand that verifiers are volunteers, however, this is an important record that needs to be continually updated. This is a national problem which is disheartening recorders, many that I have spoken to question the validity of data, due to this issue. I have contacted you previously, but still no reply.

I'm unsure if im doing it right. For 1, I don't know the Latin names of anything. I think this app is suited to people who know a lot about wildlife. For instance, I went to pop a bumble bee in and who knew there were around 20 different types to choose from. I didn't know so I deleted that record. Shield bug. There's loads.I have no idea, so took my best guess. There's no help on the app. So you have to Google everything and even then not sure if right.These creatures fly off too quick

Hard work sadly! I'm persevering but it is a bit of a headache. Just seeing error messages now and I daren't logout as it says it will clear everything off?? Also some experts are doing a bang up job (Chris Du Feu is brilliant at replying as are a couple of others) but other insects your records just get ignored, why accept if nobody viewing them?? these things are time-consuming to load + photos etc. Also if I make a mistake and delete off the app, it still loads! Limited functions on app v pc
