4/5GUI Improvements
Tool tips and labeling icons is IMPORTANT! The number one issue with the new app is the GUI, whoever made it is a technology native and put no effort into making sure that those less tech savvy can easily navigate. Those more used to a windows based OS find the new GUI infuriatingly convoluted. The ease of access to previously heavily used features is lacking. The new app GUI is confusing, poorly laid out and does not default to settings most users are familiar with. While more powerful, you can clearly see the launch has been disastrous. The “next” app should have been labeled “pro” since it gives easier access to high level tools and is genuinely more difficult to navigate. I think building from the interface of the first app should have been/currently be a major focus. Instead of what feels like starting from scratch in designing navigation.

5/5It all started with a Shrew
A few years ago, my cat proudly dragged in a dead shrew and laid it at my feet. Animal enthusiasts that I am, I looked up the species of shrew and discovered it was a species that by all accounts was not documented as having been in the area but it was DEFINITELY that particular species. Years later, it always bothered me that I was unable to actually document the existence of this shrew in my backyard and I lamented so to my brother in law…who in turn then said “I know of a way you could have documented it.” He introduced me to iNaturalist and boom. It all began. This app is awesome. It feels like a real life pokedex and is an absolute must have for people interested in flora, fauna and fungi. This new app is awesome and definitely feels cleaner than the classic app. My only (minor) complaint is the seemingly inability to add multiple photos of an observation when first documenting it. The classic app, I was able to attach multiple photos before it uploaded. This one you seem to only be able to attach one picture, then after it uploads, you can add more. But that is so minor that it really doesn’t matter. This app is a permanent staple on my phone and exactly what I was looking for. Edit: the adding multiple photos functionality is there, it just took me a bit to find it. It’s actually implemented in a very sleek way and I really like it.

5/5Overall Great! Two Suggestions
I’m very happy to see some of Seek’s best features integrated into iNaturalist. I’ll use iNaturalist much more now, especially since the AI camera is soooo much faster compared to Seek. Overall, I think this is a great next step for the app and have enjoyed using it so far. I hope the developers will consider two additions. First, it would be helpful to be able to copy the coordinates from one observation to another in the app. It is super annoying to have to zoom in on a map while looking at a rural area without a lot of landmarks to find the right spot when I could just copy and paste from another nearby observation. The search function also didn’t bring up some towns in Colorado as an option so the location/map feature seems a bit incomplete/unwieldy. (I’m also not sure why some of my observations didn’t have a location when the observations a few minutes later did.) Second, it would be helpful to be able to crop photos in the app itself. Otherwise, thank you for these great updates!

3/5Works OK but a Downgrade From Classic Design
App feels over designed. Feels like designers focused on form over function, most notably uploading multiple pictures for a single observation feels clunky. The map of observations is no longer color coded which impacts readability. Also personally not a fan of the rounded “soft” look of the UI design. I know it’s in vogue with UI design right now but it makes the app feel “trendy” and “cheap”to me, I’m not a fan in general but I feel like it especially clashes with what I liked about the old app UI design which was more simple and focused. There are some things I really like about it like the little icons of different animals are cute. Probably some of my issues are due to the fact that the old app worked fine for me and I am more used to using it. So thank you for not forcing me to use the new app because I’m not a huge fan!

2/5Buggy on iPhone
I love iNaturalist have been a loyal member of the community for 8+ years. I was excited when this newest app came out, but it has been very buggy the entire time I’ve had it on my iPhone 14 Pro. The observation function and other buttons at the bottom are often unresponsive. Today it’s unresponsive even if I log out and log in again. It’s also unresponsive if I delete the app and reinstall it. I and other users have let the developers know. The developers are great and very engaged with problems, but they’ve been unable to replicate the issues on the devices they have. Now a couple years in to using the new app, I’m going to delete it and go back to iNat Classic. It’s a shame because the new functions (when they work, which is rarely) are a big improvement. I hope the developers can get ahold of a phone that can replicate the problems and figure it out. For now, I’ll use the old app, which works just fine.
