An editorial reading of the saved reviews

People genuinely love the idea: logging catches like Pokemon Go, accurate ID, slick design. But the product is half-broken: photo uploads mass-hang on the identification screen, the 'crew' feature doesn't work, and you can't invite friends. On top of that every single feature is locked behind a subscription that isn't flagged at install, and in smaller areas there's often nobody around and the feed is dead.

What reviews complain about

Photo upload hangs on the ID screen, crew feature and friend invites don't work, everything behind a subscription with no warning, empty in small areas

What users experience

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

I love this app. It’s very fun! But the feature where you can pick a photo you’ve previously taken from your camera roll doesn’t really work. It just loads the “finalising identification” screen and doesn’t go any further.
