I edited the title to make it less hyperbolic.
If you have an issue you want to bring up that’s fine, but remember that the forum is not a place for unconstructive complaints or grievances. If you have specific feedback that could help us improve the process, please share it. But “Using a strong password doesn’t sync up” and “when you use your own the email link takes one to God knows where” aren’t really helpful because they can be interpreted in multiple ways. Do you have screenshots or specific descriptions of exactly what was difficult that you can share with us that could help us solve the issue?
It’s designed for making observations in the field and exploring nearby observations and in my experience it’s fine for doing both of those. The iNat mobile apps aren’t designed for much else. The Android version does have better search filters, messages, and profile editing abilities but it’s also mostly a simple app for field use.
It’s a new app being written from the ground up. Which has taken longer than we hoped for, it’s quite complex.
