Easy and fun to use, like a real life pokedex! It's nice knowing what the plants and animals I see every day are called. And when I travel I can learn about new species I see. I haven't encountered any problems uploading photos. The browser version has a cool map and a way to see how you compare to other users.

Easy to use. Love being able to contribute as a naturalist to document presence and numbers of local organisms. Love that experts confirm or suggest new species for my photo. A favorite app of mine! Especially excellent is the ease of taking pictures of an organism at the moment I am attempting to ID them. I love the AI photo comparisons and knowledge base of this site. Most of the time these comparisons and aid suggestions in relation to my photos are either accurate species matches or close

The iNaturalist project is absolutely awesome for anyone who likes to record their wildlife sightings or wants help identifying the animals, plants, etc. that they see. The Android app is kind of buggy and clunky, but still worthwhile. It performs very poorly on slow internet connections (worse than other apps), and the "Explore" feature is unusable on older phones due to constant crashes. I wish I had more time to make proper bug reports, but I don't. The developers are usually very responsive.
