Ratings and reviews

This app is currently a total mess. There are inedible and potentially poisonous species listed as edible. Some mushrooms listed under scientific name whilst other related ones are listed under common or even outdated names making them hard to find. Some seem to have the wrong image entirely. Ultimately the number of species is just pretty limited anyway. Dangerous for those who don't know any better - useless for those who do.

For curiosity, it's OK. But only a couple hundred (254) species, separated in 2 lists in alphabetical order, without any identification key. You need 3 actions to exit the app (you can't just back out) which is annoying. Not sure if this is even useful.

Good photos, good description, a lot of mushrooms. Comparing to other books apps (not identification apps) this is the best. Could you implement a possibility that user can add a short note to each mushroom ? No one app has that possibility and your Book would be surely unique in that case.
