I saved or liked a couple observations so that I could come back and find them later so I could go visit and enjoy them myself. How do you find them? ---

Is this just available on the web version or where do I go in the app? I can’t seem to find it in the app. ---

I think you can only see your faves through the web version; I don’t see a way to access them through the app. While we’re on the subject, does anyone know if there’s a way to search your favorites with filters? That would sure be a handy thing. I tried the URL approach that seems to work for everything else (e.g. [https://www.inaturalist.org/faves?user\_id=weecorbie&taxon\_id=83854](https://www.inaturalist.org/faves?user_id=weecorbie&taxon_id=83854) to see my favorite Magicicada observations), but I get the “I got nuthin’” mole. ---

No–I’d like the ability to search observations I’ve favorited (usually other people’s) using filters. I often favorite an observation because there’s something interesting or significant (data-wise), and it would nice to quickly find all of the favorites that pertain to genera/species I’m working on. ---

This is what the OP, @patrick1654, was looking for. Rather than bringing up all of my favorites, what _I’m_ looking for is a way to bring up just the favorites of a particular organism, or search favorites by date, or any of the other filters that can be applied to observations in general. You can do a command-F to find a species or genus name, but that still means wading through all the pages of favorites, and it won’t work for aspects of the observations that don’t appear as text on-screen (e.g., date). ---
