Collins British Wildlife 4+

As useful as this App is it could be even better. It is rather surprising that a major publishing house doesn't adhere to the DDA act. Trying to read a very small description without the ability to increase the font size is a poor show. Also, equally it would be nice if you could zoom into the images to see more detail. Some of the images in some sections seem to lack in quality and are rather dull. Some subjects, for example, trees and shrubs would benefit in having two sets of images, a close up view of leaves and/or fruit and a whole view of the tree/shrub. On the basis that this is effectively an e-book and not a print version all of these points are easily implemented. If this could be done I would rate it much higher and would even pay more for the App. Even so, I still find it easier to
carry in the field than a book as I always have my iPod with me and as an on-the-spot reference it is useful.

So pleased that this app has been updated. Thought I had lost it following the latest IOS update.
It may not be very sexy or technologically advanced but it covers most categories of our British wildlife as a book would do.
You do need to know some basics though to help with identification - particularly with wildflowers and birds.
It would be useful to include similar looking species as an option.

Question: if I see a plant that I am unfamiliar with, how am I supposed to find out what it is using this app?
Answer: You don’t. The only way you could use this app is if you already knew the names of all the plants and wildlife. So...... I really don’t see how this app is supposed to help anyone who isn’t an expert.
Really want my £9.99 back already☹️
