Guiding new users without scaring them off

That was one I missed the day I went from downloading the app myself to setting my students loose with the app 30 minutes later. Many of the apps one downloads - think social media - come with few guidelines and minimal guidance, if any, on community practice. Some sort of intro screens to “onboard” a new iNat user would be really helpful. A short series of pop-up overlay directions including such as, “If someone planted the plant, click here” pointing at the checkbox for cultivated.
