Is the app functional without purchasing an option?
Yes, but you will only have access to 100 common Grasss and will have some limited functionality.
Is the content updated? How much content is added and how often?
The app gets updated at least once in three months, which includes updates of distribution maps, addition of new species, images and calls, added functionality, improvements to the identification function and text updates. All updates are free.
Can I share my app between devices?
Any purchase made can be shared with devices registered with the same email address as Apple ID or Google Account. The only caveat is that you cannot share between Apple and Android devices. Family sharing is allowed on Apple devices, but Android does not support family sharing for in-app purchases, which is the model we use. Sightings can be synced with our server and shared across all devices, also between Apple and Android devices.
