CID displays differently in the app vs website

The crazy muskrat observation displays as RG at Ondatra zibethicus on the website, but only at genus on the Android app.

Is this still happening?

Yep, though I don’t have any more examples right now.

here’s one: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/34729600
Kingdom Fungi on the website and Life in the Android app

hmm, showing as Fungi for me on Android

I closed and re-opened the app and I’m still getting Life. I guess maybe it’s some kind of caching bug?

here’s another one: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/34972958
shows Cervini in the app and Dama dama on the website. I assume it’s ok for you?

Yep, it’s at Dama dama for me on Android. If you clear the app cache does it update to species?

I almost never look at other people’s observations on the app… I wonder if there are other similar problems.

I force quit it, cleared the cache, and rebooted my phone. Still Cervini (and Life on the mushroom).

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/34729600 comes up as fungi for me. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/34972958 has been deleted.

@jwidness if you log out and log back in does that change anything?

logging out and in changed it to Fungi for me

Still happening – it would be nice to have a solution other than log out/in.

I have a solution other than log out – you can change the app language settings and that will apparently refresh whatever is getting stuck

I had a similar bug



My two latest observations appeared with my original ID, even after I withdraw both when I received a better option


But the bug wasn’t consistent (?), when I entered in both observations one showed the correct ID and the other didn’t.

Basically this solved, I first changed it from device settings to English but it didn’t worked but then I changed it to Spanish and it did.
