Any actual ETA yet? It was announced late 2021. The github has been kept up to date so I know they’re still working on it has been about 3 years.

The iNat Monthly Updates have statuses for app development: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/inaturalist-updates-for-july-2024/54015/1

Does anyone else just use their iPhone to access the web page for iNat and interact with the site that way? I only use the iOS app on my phone to get my phone pics uploaded but otherwise if I want to search the site or do IDs I just access the website.

screen’s too small for me–can’t see anything and using the touchscreen the navigate is messy for me if I try to use the browswer to access the website. On the ipad that’s what I do though

I’ve just gotten internet and it’s easier for me to upload by iPhone. That’s what I know how to do. I can post from where I am, whatever else I’m doing, too. I suppose that might change when the update gets here. I have found the website wonderful, but it’s a bigger rabbit hole.
