Ratings and reviews

A few of the images are low quality, but most were good. I do wish there was an option to select area, such as a state if in America to help narrow down tracks most common to that region or at least narrow to sections of a country. This would keep a person such as myself from mislabeling an animal track. If this app is continuously developed and updated then it is worth the price. You are carrying a phone already, having this app saves space when in the field, than a book that takes up room.

It seems like this would be a fantastic app but when I zeroed in on my state I was only able to view 4 tracks the rest were only available in the paid version. While I can understand needing some of the content to be for the paid version, only making 4 tracks available in free makes this app useless for our family.

demo version looks great but $15 is too high for even 1 out of every 15 folks to buy it. set it at $1 or even $2 like other apps and you will actually sell it to me and lots more folks.
