Step 1: Once I’ve made an observation,is not possible to add a new photo, as when I save it, it closes.

Step 2: i tried to delete make space in my phone, and also I delete the App, but it happened again after downloading the App and making more observations.

@diegoalmendras I moved your report to this existing one as I believe it’s the same bug.

Step 1: Enter into an observation of yours

Step 2: Enter into photos and remove a photo bc its not applicable, or whatever the case is

Step 3: Click on save/submit

App crashes, and I am unable to save the observation.

I had an observation with 3 photos, one of which was a separate species, and I had to use the Web version to update.

Moved your post to the existing bug report for this crash.

If the order of the images was changed simultaneously with deleting an image, then the new order is not saved either. Changing the order only, without deleting any image, does not lead to a crash and the new order is then saved successfully.

Have been having this problem for the last couple of months.

I assumed the phone (iOS) was the problem causing this because I was due for an upgrade, but the problem persists on the new one, too. And apparently is happening to others too. But yeah. It’s been happening for months and continues to happen. Going on the site to fix it works as a workaround in the meantime.
