  1. 5/5Game changer for field botany

    I have been using this app frequently for field botany for more than a year and it has been exceptional in every way. Excellent keys and current taxonomy aside, having this resource as a phone app has been everything I hoped. It is streamlined and user-friendly once you figure it out. Having the dichotomous keys filterable by state is a huge benefit. Can’t recommend this highly enough.
