I hate that you have to use this app only when you have Wi-Fi, I hope you add more national parks or overall you can use the whole app offline when you're herping or just taking a stroll through you're garden, please add this to your next major update,thank you!

The precision of the underlying datasets must be the real restriction, but the area select could do with being made a lot smaller.

Many species are missing. The database of insects is quite limited. There is no option to add species that are not in the database. It would be a good idea to have that option.

It'll be cool if it was like a pokedex like take a picture of an animal by you and it'll show you the whole thing.

This app thinks alligators exist in the blue ridge mountains of Va! No mention of the common black snake.

Koalas are not bears. They are koalas. Please change that

Very cool App!

Jus. S. Oct 21, 2016     

I really like the app but it's not accurate. Searched areas I knew about some species existing but they are not listed.

Yus. S. Nov 19, 2016     

Pls add information about insects and I'll give you five star. Good work otherwise.

Cra. L. Mar 6, 2017     

No insects! Just dragonflies, bumble bees and butterflies! I'd like to see some insects such as mantises and caterpillers! And I searched lions and nothing came up except butterflies. I would've expected at least the iconic animals to be here!

I'm pretty impressed with this app. I didn't have high expectations, but this app does a fairly good job of identifying what species you might encounter in an area. And then it has some pretty good info for species too. Some of the taxonomy is out-dated, but for general information app, it's not bad. Won't replace field guides or reference texts, but for an off-the-cuff in-the-pocket resource, not bad.

Com. v. Apr 23, 2016     

Love it great. Search here has too small pictures maybe bigger and 2 rows. Maybe extend with flowers and plants, would be happy to pay for this app

I read about this in Popular Science and decided to check it out. I think that this is a great learning and teaching tool. Thanks again Stanford University!

Life it's called. Will love it more if it could capture other Life constituents; Fungi, Plantae, etc.
