Beastie reporting app

Beastie reporting app


Postby Pastychomper » Fri Jul 01, 2022 4:19 pm

Who else likes to record and report unusual beasties they meet during their wonderings? I've been using the Dragon Finder app to report reptiles and amphibians, and I notice Ben Dolphin's excellent article on the oil beetle recommends iRecord. Recent reviews suggest iRecord has been having some problems, so before I wrestle with it I'd like to read some others' experiences - is it any good, and is there anything better out there?

I'm no help - but just replying to say I agree that the oil beetle article was excellent, and I'll be interested if you find out the best app as I'm going to try and pay more attention to the wee beasties I see when out walking now!

I've got the iRecord app but I've never used it yet. I much prefer to just take notes and pics at the time then enter the details on the website itself.
