User Reviews

Users praise iNaturalist for its educational value, community-based identifications, and features like batch uploads and maps. However, persistent performance issues on the newer app—freezes, lag, crashes, and upload failures—along with missing features, a confusing UI, and privacy concerns are frequently noted. The overall sentiment is that the app is valuable for learning and field use, but stability and feature parity with the Classic version remain major drawbacks.

Pros

Strong educational value and community-driven identifications that help users learn about species
Valuable identification capabilities and real-time data from a large, engaged community
Batch uploads feature and an easier-to-navigate interface compared to iNaturalist Classic
Access to profiles, range maps, and projects (e.g., state projects) for biodiversity data
Useful for field work and research; appreciated by ecologists and nature enthusiasts

Cons

Frequent freezing, lag, and crashes leading to unresponsive UI and upload failures
Uploads can fail or be slow; photos and IDs sometimes won't load correctly
New UI is buggy and missing or hard-to-use features (e.g., tagging location, direct messaging)
Privacy and data-tracking concerns with the newer app versus the older version
Inconsistent identification quality and over-reliance on AI IDs, reducing accuracy

Recent reviews

Impossible to create a password that is acceptable, even when following the rules. Tried all lengths and combinations and every one was denied. (Again, I followed the rules) And don’t try to system generate a strong one. No way will that work. Will have to find another app

Title pretty much captures it. Please no generic-“we’ve been using machine learning since 2017” reply, it doesn’t matter, the ID feature completely blows NOW & gives the most random stupid ids. This happens nearly every time I use the app. No one community id’s anything anymore, because people are dropping INaturalist. Constant email ghost notifications, but no actual activity in the app. Also got lots of google & still begs for $ all the time. If u want $, fix the app, the UI is horrendous too. Once loved iNat, oh well
