Best app for learning local wildlife! – iNaturalist Review

I have used iNat for over a year, and it has been a great resource for me to identify and learn native (and exotic invasive) plants and animals in my local area. I love the distribution map feature so I can see if a species is generally in my area, and the photo recognition works really well when there are many users adding local images to the database. Sometimes other naturalists have also sent me notes about a particular observation, to help me learn to distinguish to similar looking species. That has been invaluable.
