I’m advertising events for City Nature Challenge onto Eventbrite, and I’d like people to download iNaturalist before the event.

I heard that for the iOS version of the app there were a couple of different versions and that sometimes people were downloading the wrong version? Something about ‘iNaturalist Classic’?

I use Android so I can’t see what the download options are on the Apple Store. (I know that if you just search for ‘iNaturalist’ on Google Play Store, it puts the paid alternative first, which is a p.i.t.a!.)

What’s the best thing for people to search for to make sure they get the right version?

This URL will take you directly to the new app: [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/inaturalist/id6475737561](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/inaturalist/id6475737561)

Either iNaturalist or iNaturalist Classic will work for the CNC, but iNat Classic is no longer being actively worked on.
