S25 Ultra crashing and black screening at the "Suggest ID" button. I love this app otherwise and love interacting with like minded scientists and nature enthusiasts. Please fix the crashes and encourage people to add notes. Edit: Unable to press any buttons past the observations screen due to the app instantly losing response. Please fix Completely cleared data, logged back in, no fix.

I love this app! Been using it for a few years now to identify plants and animals. Unfortunately recently the record sound feature has stopped working and is just freezing and crashing the app. It's a bummer because I'd really like to identify bird calls I'm hearing.

I enjoy this app a lot but I think it has a lot basic functionality flaws and some poor design. My biggest issue is that the app is so ridiculously slow. It's so inconvenient and I'll be sitting there for 10 minutes just trying to get to one specific thing. The app functions like it's an abandoned amateur student project. edit 2025: I think it got worse. it's borderline unusable.
