It does what it's supposed to do! There are other apps to mark down observations, but this makes it easy to find specifically edible plants on a map. I needed to use map auto center, and I think that's what was confusing some people. I thought at first this was to tell you plants in the area, but it's still helpful! I would like if you could add observations without being there?

Fantastic app! Great features available. My favourite is being able to record my walks and be able to retrace my steps to my finds. The fact your finds are all time stamped as well is really useful. The What to Forage now is a great feature as well, letting you see what you picked in that month last year!

I love using this app, but can't figure out the pictures. I swear when I first downloaded it, I could add pictures of my finds. Now I can't find that option. Help!

I am an urban forager (city life)! And it has been so difficult to find a good app to save all of my finds on! I love this! Thank you!

User interface isn't real intuitive, but this gets the job done.

Thank you so much for this app its absolutely amazing and so helpful!! Very good straight forward design and works a treat. My massive thanks and appreciation!! The only extra thing I'd add to the app is to be able to set it to automatically back up, say once a month or week or whenever, and sync it with online storage.

Its keeps saying " Please wait... Acvuracy is more than 12 metres" , does this mean my phone is incompatible with this app? Sony Xperia E
