Comments on iRecord App for Android

★★★★☆ Fiona Knee · Apr 16, 2022

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

★★★★☆ 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

★★★★★ 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!

★★★★☆ 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?

★☆☆☆☆ Anthony Cain · May 19, 2021

After 2 weeks of use to 2 uploaded records and 2 records pending (but will not upload) No means of reporting problems to Dev. Team and I do not think they reply to these posted comments.

★☆☆☆☆ ear wig · Feb 2, 2023

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.

★★☆☆☆ Mick Schilling · Jul 24, 2021

Glitchy as. Find location, enter it, name it, then when you submit the record it reverts to where you are at the time of making the record. Painful. You don't always have a good signal out in the field!
