Comments on iRecord App for Android

★★★★☆ Fiona Knee · Apr 16, 2022

Easy to use and a quick way of recording insects and their location

★★★★☆ G Bradbury · Mar 30, 2024

Versatile, easy to use wildlife recording app. Really valuable that submitted records get validated by experts before use in National monitoring schemes. 4 stars because there's always room for improvement, right?

★★★★★ Victoria Mahony · Jul 26, 2023

I love this App! The ability to upload any sightings of plants, animals and insects and get an ID is great and is helping to improve my knowledge of species names. What is of most importance is that these uploads are helping the scientific community track declines in species and helps to drive refocusing of conservation efforts!

★★★★☆ sam gemmell · Nov 17, 2022

Makes recording very easy. It would be nice if there was an option to record a list of species at one site rather than having to do them separately, but other than that, prefer the app over website

★☆☆☆☆ Col Bourne · Jun 24, 2022

No functionality in app. Records don't upload and that's all you can do in the app. Everything else you get referred to the webpage. You can't search for records near you on the app. The help pages on the website refer only to the website and don't apply to the app. It refers to the 'explore' function, which isn't available on the app that I can find. There is no help function on the app. Awful compared to Naturalist, which I'll continue to use unless these people ever get their act together.

★★☆☆☆ SRS · Jun 24, 2021

Same issue as another user with stuck pending uploads since last October. They aren't on the Web version. Emailed the developer a while back, didn't heard back. Tryed to log out and back in, it lost all the pending data. Uninstalled and will try to reinstall to see if that works, as the app is the easiest way to use this in the field from a phone. While some have suggested using the Web version, I don't carry a laptop in the field, so that's out, as it's more work to find transfer photos etc

UPDATED AND UNABLE TO SIGN IN - had to reset password on the website (despite being signed in b4 update). App not easy use. Not intuitive. Records don't upload. Map doesn't show. Limited usefulness for app size. Can't access/update account through app, & can't seem to log in to the website, despite app recognizes my account. A shame & off-putting. Recording needs to be facilitated more smoothly - it's already an effort to try & use an app/website rather than paper, it needs to be made easier not harder.
