iNaturalist is great, but the app not so much. The only problem with it, and it's a HUGE one, is that pictures almost never ever load. It works like 1 time out of 10. The other 9 times pictures won't load no matter what you do. Using the website works absolutely fine, but on the app this happens way too frequently.

Unable to see join/news/about buttons in a project unless screen is rotated to landscape when using a fully updated Android phone. When trying to add an observation, cannot select a (joined) project from the list. Gave up on app Tried the website instead using Chrome on Androud, and cannot select the project there either. Also it is not possible to zoom in on the website, and the website doesn't scale to suit device resolution so all other functions difficult to use on a smartphone too.

A bit glitchy on android phones especially when trying to make an ID. You often have to close to app and restart in order to make the ID. Its also not possible to send photos in the private messaging system which is rather dissapointing.
