I love obs identify and often recommend it to people interested in nature. I wish that I could search my observations for keywords (eg "Elephant Hawk Moth", and it shows me all the times I've documented one), or even filter for all birds, for example. Perhaps we could filter by location seen, too. This app really makes nature accessible for people, I love the links to Wikipedia & the main website for more info. Even children can use this with support - easy to identify & log species, v. fun!

I really love using the app to see what's around me, however, I can't see any of my previous observations in the app anymore since the last few weeks. I would also like if the badges included more different types of plants instead of just the "plants" badge. I can see my old observations again, no clue why I couldn't before, for some reason it only showed the observations I'd done in that session.

I love this app even though it has some flaws. When I go into the woods, the app can't determine my location. Sometimes the app suggests wrong species. At other times it can't accept a more generic identification and shows only possible identifications my phone would have to have a microscope for. I'd like the algorithm to switch to the genus, when it can't find the correct macro species or microspecies.

It appears that since your latest update, I cannot upload photos as no location is given. When I check there is always a location on the photos. When Obs identify works, it is brilliant.
★☆☆☆☆Louie Raines· Jul 9, 2026
Looked good, but first wouldn't allow upload of my photos as they weren't taken with a GPS tag, and no option to add the location manually, changed phone settings to take new photos with GPS tags, now app won't load any pictures from my phone at all... useless. Also kept asking for permissions when they'd already been allowed. Deleted.
