Description
The Idaho Grasses & Grass-like Plants app is a user-friendly, off-line, field app for identifying the most common grasses and grass-like plants in Idaho. This app is an essential resource for K–16 educators and students, ranchers, land managers, field technicians, recreationists, and nature enthusiasts.
Nearly 400 color images illustrate vegetative and reproductive features of 100 grasses and grass-like plants found in Idaho. This app also includes an easy-to-use filter to help users narrow down their search of grass and grass-like plant species, plus information about each plant’s forage value and importance for wildlife, erosion control, and use in restoration projects. Comparisons to similar species, synonyms, flowering periods, distribution maps, and black-and-white drawings are included to aid in identification. This app also includes a search feature and an extensive glossary.
The Idaho Grasses & Grass-like Plants app is an invaluable resource for people learning about the unique characteristics and the value of some of the most ubiquitous and important plant families living in the vast landscapes of Idaho.

Ratings and Reviews
A tool every naturalist should have!
I use this app for both work and recreation. It is extremely user friendly and has a variety of detailed pictures and descriptions. The filters option is great as it helps the user narrow down their search. It saves me a lot of time and I could not imagine being in the field without it.
Good start
This is an app I was really looking for, being new to Idaho and surrounded by beautiful grasses. I am, however, disappointed. It is not user friendly and moving around is quite tedious. It is just not there yet.
The grasses are listed in alphabetical order by common name. This means even related species are far apart in the app , e.g. the various wheat grasses. Some grouping by inflorescence type or habitat or flowering time or genus/family would definitely help. I know that filtering does that, but comparing species even then is hard... you can’t just flip back and forth between them. And having photos displayed in slideshow format would be much more useful than having to scroll all the way to the end to see them.
Great app
I look at grasses all the time for work and could never find a good app to help me identify them until I found this one. The pictures are awesome and have great detail so you can compare them to what you are seeing out in the field.
