I actually signed up on the forum specifically to request this. I’m just getting into identifying (mostly broad for right now), and while I have a computer I can use, the app would really expand the time available for me to do it. Bus rides, waiting in line…etc.

A potential stepping stone also mentioned in other posts\*: add “reviewed” as a filter under “explore” in the app. I’d even be okay if it didn’t sync with the website, since with just a bit more functionality I’d be more likely to use the app alone.
