1) agreed by the look of everyone’s comments we need to rephrase some things in the onboarding, apple review made us change it to be explicit as possible. 2) yes this is a great idea!! ‘You’re the first in the world to discover this’!! Thank you for that!!

Just as an example, we are currently at lady bird lake in Austin, tx and saw a turtle on the bank. It turned out to be a red eared slider turtle. The app informed us that they can breathe through their bottoms! Who knew!

Yeah the first thing that comes up is a full page splash screen saying ‘DANGEROUS SPECIES Be careful’

So hopefully people will get the memo immediately!

Fully agree here.

Respectfully disagree here, the more people you could get outside appreciating and learning about nature, the better it can be preserved for future generations. Whether it’s gamified or not.

As people are requesting we will make a paid version pronto with no ads.

As per apple guidelines you can request us not to track and the app of course respects that.

The location data is used only for helping us narrow down the collection species!

We thought about this and specifically decided not to award xp based on an animals danger rating.

Even though we warn users in the onboarding to take care in the wild, TikTok and similar platforms have shown people acting foolishly is not something you can fully control

Definitely soon, we just wanted to build a version that everyone can use regardless of income.

Unfortunately inference costs means we needed something (ads) to keep the servers online.

Out of curiosity what would you say is a fair price for this?

iNaturalist is great for identification and information, but it lacked the fun and soul we were looking for.

It doesn’t feel like you’re playing when you use it, it feels like you’re in biology class (no hate to them).

Wildex gives you cute fun facts and lets you build up points for rare species finds. It feels like a completely different experience.
