In the future please enter the version numbers in the proper fields, not in the steps. > [@jumbojessie](#): > > and the new app only shows my > > observations obscured. Correct, it only displays the public locations, not private locations. This isn’t a bug, it’s intentional. ---

Is there a reason they are obsured here, but not on a browser? ---

[https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/village-park-trails-preserve](https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/village-park-trails-preserve) The true locations show up when I’m in my account on Safari. I’d love to be able to see this when I am away from my computer and surveying this area. Thank you! ---

OK, thanks. This isn’t a bug, the app is not designed to show unobscured observations in a project page based on whether you have access to them. If you go to one of these observation’s pages in the app, you should see the true location. ---
