Ratings and reviews

Works well. Wish there was a way to make a change to your catch record after reporting. Yes, I read the warning, but stuff still happens. Cheers.

This is a good start but it needs an offline mode. Having to re enter the layers you want every time you open the map is a major pain. It's explained that it is to help reduce data usage but an offline mode would be a much better solution.

Lots of good information on here, very useful and easy to navigate for the average person.
