Customer Reviews
Disappointing for £9.99
I bought this for ID purposes in the field. However it's useless for this as the index of butterflies is so small you cannot find what you want unless you spend ages clicking on each one. Please sort this out!
Not really for iPad
This is an informative app, but for the price it is, IT SHOULD HAVE A SEARCH FUNCTION FOR IDENTIFICATION, otherwise it is not very useful out in the field. Also it is marked with the '+' sign which means it should be suitable for iPad but the pictures are not at all HD when put on the iPad. Not worth the £5.99 really, but with a few tweaks it could be brilliant.
Good but....
....really, really needs a search function.
