The iNaturalist project is absolutely awesome for anyone who likes to record their wildlife sightings or wants help identifying the animals, plants, etc. that they see. The Android app seems to have improved over the years even if it still has some performance issues.

I love using iNaturalist but the app is still fairly buggy. The activity tab to look at new identifications on my posts causes the app to crash always.

What happened? Why aren't species suggestions working anymore (at least on Android)? I have like 4 species of plants I want to identify and there just are simply no suggestions showing up. This is very sad and dissapointing as I rely on iNaturalist for species identification and I also have donated every year as well...can someone just explain what is going on? If so, I will gladly change my review!!

No updates in 7 months no wonder it won't work PLEASEEEEEEE fix the crashes it's becoming impossible to use. I notice a lot less people on it lately and no wonder. this is really sad :-( ( ...and Why does it keep reloading (screen goes white and often goes to previous activity) when you are right in the middle of id or typing ARGH. So SLOW to open, load info etc. Buggy , crashes. Would be good if it flagged country of observation without having to zoom out on the location map every time.)
