Hi All,

We are progressing well with an important update to the NatureMapr Data Collector App that will soon roll out the following improvements:

  • Simpler, easier to use, one click "Select a category/species" screen when reporting sightings
  • Simpler, clearer error messaging in the event of a slow internet connection
  • Simpler, clearer error messaging when an incorrect username/password are entered
  • "Go to profile" link will launch a new standalone browser window rather than an "in app" browser window
  • Sighting count will be removed from user profile page. Please use the new "go to profile" instead as app will remain 100% focused on data collection only
  • Resolve audio sighting crash affecting some android devices
  • Resolve unexpected crash on some iPhone devices which are running corporate device management software such as Microsoft Intune
  • Clearer, simpler description of what the app is used for and what its purpose is - NatureMapr Data Collector App

Thank you to all our legendary NatureMapr Data Collector App testers - you guys are amazing and we hugely appreciate your assistance.

Direct in-app AI image recognition (coming soon)

Following the release of this important update, we will incorporate CarbonAI's AI image recognition directly into the app so that the identification process is even more streamlined and hassle free.

Awesome to get a response to user feedback like this.

It would be good to be able to lodge an observation to genus status (eg Pomaderris sp.) without having to make a wild guess at species level.

Hi @UserCqoIFqhZ - you can just select pomaderris sp. even in the app and that's perfectly valid.

Sometimes there is no option to select just genus. There are cases where only species are given as options. I was told that I could add a genus sp. from some global database somewhere but I don’t have a clue how to do that.
