@bouteloua @tiwane For some time, I’ve felt I and iNaturalist as a whole loses out on exceptional productivity given how cumbersome it is to make large series’ of IDs on the app and using the identify tab on mobile browsers.
I cannot help but imagine how many IDs could be accomplished if there was a straightforward card-flipping quick-ID scheme such as what’s doable on computer browsers? I was disappointed that the new app seems to have ignored enhancing identification ease on mobile. Perhaps I’m wrong or missing new key features? Has there been any resolution or has anything been addressed related to this need?
I did some digging and it seems these feature requests all date to just before the pandemic… and have been yet to be revisited? I tried to revive the feature I’d be most interested in: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/expanded-identify-functionality-in-app/395
I get the sense that, at least previously, folks were not jumping at this because there was 1) less forum-use, 2) identifiers who face ID issues comprise far fewer of the iNat population than say, those here to offer observations and limited or sparing IDs, 3) iNat users may be ambivalent about how much more efficient ID should be on the app given many are even unfamiliar with the Identify tab on browser.
In other words, the folks who would benefit from this (or know enough to vote in its favor) are likely disproportionally small in their mission compared with the average iNatter… but still, I could not fathom the increase my own productivity an ID app or in-app feature would have, let alone the productivity we would all glean from equipping other identifiers with the means to identify massive series as fast as they would on the computer.
Sorry to be a pest, but this is an issue I feel passionately about, might as well revive it with all of this new forum traffic :)
