Mile-a-Minute Weed

I would like to know if it's edible or medicinal…trust you more than AI.

Reminders to return to a pinned location

Can we have a feature to set reminders to return to a location where we have identified a species? It would help for when we have made an identification but it's too early to forage or remembering where to check again next year.

Lions mane

I live in Northeast Washington state and it’s quite common here. I would love to see it in your app. If I missed it somehow my apologies, but I can’t find it in the app. I downloaded your app from your YouTube video about elderberry. Thank you very much. 

Dark mode

Please add a dark mode. If its there, make it more visable

Hexagonia hydnoides

Common name: Hairy hexagonia

Saw palmetto

pluchea camphorata

Camphorweed, marsh-fleabane

Florida Betony (Stachys floridana)

The tubers are edible and they look like rattlesnake tails. How cool!

Beginners Tab

Would be great to have a filter for beginners. Highly narrowed list (just a few in each category per season) featuring only plants that are plentiful/easy to find, easy to identify, few to no toxic lookalikes, and have a good payoff. Thanks for your consideration!

Distance

While I appreciate the default setting of 50 miles in the app, for some (especially those in larger metropolitan areas) that may mean still inside the city at the edge of the 50 mile limit. I don’t know about you, but there are some things that I would go the distance for. Like elderberries. Just watched your video on that. I’m sold! Then downloaded the app. But there aren’t any within 50 miles. Could you make it the default distance and allow the user to make it larger? Getting out there and going foraging will spark this fire that lights the movement. If I had to drive 150 miles to get elderberries, chances are very good that after a short period of time that on the way I will eventually able to identify more that I had missed previously and thus will be adding additional locations over time. Just have to get those first couple steps and momentum going. Great job, and thank you for all your efforts and information you are sharing. I especially appreciate the are you sure you want to click away pop up for iPhone. You are a visionary! No one else has done that yet and I constantly have to start over because of a click where I didn’t mean to click and it’s so frustrating!! Visionary. I mean that, bro! Keep it up, you’re an inspiration to us all.

Browser Application

Create a version of Gather that can be used on a desktop in a browser. Gauging interest in something like this!

Chicory

Good morning! Awesome app! I noticed you don’t seem to have chicory (pretty plant that can be used as a coffee substitute). It could be worth adding.

Roadmap upgrade.

Distinguish filter and sort. Between plants that people want added vs app features, bug fixes, etc. Why? You need a common place for plant demand vs app demand. It will help everyone rec and vote better

Accessing plant profiles from your journal entries.

Just a convenience feature, can we have the capability to go to the profile of a plant we have made a journal entry on by tapping the species within the journal entry?

Milkcaps

Would love to see milkcaps (Lactifluus spp.) added and how to differentiate them, including comparison to Red Hot Milky.

Please add Lactarius hygrophoroides

I couldn’t find Lactarius hygrophoroides or hygrophorus milky to add in the journal. Could this one be added? Thank you!

Cacti and yuccas

Where are my yuccas. I want to be able to id banana yucca correctly. Tasajil (jumping cactus) fruit can supposedly can be used as a cough drop but o would not try it. To hard to clean of the little owies. Prickly pear tunas usually taste better purple. The yucca with the white flowers growing around a column stick in the center have edible flowers and the center stick is edible when cooked.

Redbud Non-Native to Canada

I noticed that Redbud (Cercis canadensis) is listed as a native species in Ontario (I’m currently in Mississuaga); however, the plant is not academically, historically (not even in the fossil records), or otherwise recognized as a native plant, and has been recently migrated by people (with great zeal by the nursery industry that loves to capitalize off of its pretty flowers and smaller form). The biggest concern, other than inaccuracy, is that redbud, like most Fabaceae, has a strong tendency to spread with its abundant and viable seed production. It has been identified in many locations, spreading aggressively and displacing native and endangered plants. For the purpose of eco-responsibility, I would ask to see that changed to accurately reflect its range. Thank you!

Adding two species of wild grains

I would love to see Hordeum pusillum little barley and phalaris Caroliniana maygrass

App Freezes

When I try to upload a photo of my Nemophila maculata, it doesn’t exist. When I try to “request a species,” the app freezes and I have to exit and reopen.
