Arachnifiles 4+

Amazing So Far

Make no mistake I absolutely will be updating my rating since this app is still under development. So far I really love being able to catalogue all my creepy crawlies. I had an excel table keeping all of them there but it’s so much easier to have an app where they display like little collector cards. I’m really excited to see how this app updates over time. In the meantime I have a few things that I would like to suggest for the next update!

Some tarantula species are not labeled, or at least the ones that aren’t entirely in a scientific species that exists already. I.E. Hapolopus sp. colombia, Cyriopagopus sp. hati hati, etc. I’d like to see subspecies available on the drop downs as well so that I don’t have to write them in.

Also noticed in the iPhone version that the scorpion genus and species has no drop down. Would like to see that included.

My favorite keeper app so far! Really enjoying it and can’t wait to see it grow!

Thanks for this! I appreciate it! It takes a lot of time to program in the genus and species for everything. I have added more to the list and have given the user the ability to manually type in the genus and species boxes just in case I missed more. :) Thanks again!

Holy moly doughnuts

I love the idea of this app, and I give this rating with awareness of the fact that this has never been done before. The presentation is amazing, but there are difficulties when I interact with an existing collection of 40+ T’s. It took me about 4 hours to start profiles for my collection. I could only imagine how long it would take for someone with 100+. I would like to see this process be more fluid because uploading an entire collection onto this is a bit intimidating for someone with as little as me. I would like to see a counting system that promotes more efficient inventory. The established presentation is very nice with the card swipes but I would like to see an option to view in list form. Please do not let my rating be discouraging I am very appreciative of the efforts that went into this app. Thank you so much for what you have done!

Wow that quite a collection! I will work on a more streamline system for adding Ts. :) And has for the list feature, the newest version has it! :)

Great!!

Awesome app, very excited. I look forward to seeing more species added! A very minor tweak I might suggest is an “added” notification when adding a T to your wishlist. I really love the setup of the ‘my collection’ and how it lets you choose species, genus etc. feeding or other care reminders would be fun to add as well, and perhaps some interactive elements (similar to those plant watering games that remind you when to water) but I’m just rambling now since I’m super excited about this! All in all, great app and I can’t wait to see how it continues to progress. Great job everyone!
