Nice digital version of the book with one big bug
Great app. Nice to carry this instead of the book on safari but: the My Location feature just doesn’t work. If you choose an East African country like Tanzania, all the West African species are still in the index. Not a show stopper though - just inconvenient.

Good app version of the book
I only wish the coverage of rodents and bats was better. And also, fix the Latin names on the app. Generic names are capitalized, species names are NOT!

Decent. But Way Too Expensive
Just what the title says. It's decent but not worth anywhere near $20. $10 is a fair price...
