Sorely needed and long awaited! I almost tried to develop an app myself because I wanted to access this stuff where there's poor service and I don't have the book. I love how clean and well designed the UI is. Things to fix/add: It's laggy in large keys like Carex. It would be great to have some kind of search function to locate specific couplets (what I constantly have to do on the browser is Find in Page for a specific section or species). I have more but I'm out of space!

it's great for people who know technical botany terms and know how to use dichotomous keys, other than that I do suggest downloading the extra pictures, for the lay person it's informative to click on certain species and looking at the pictures, like if you use an app to picture I'd a plant it can be a cross-reference.

Great database but not super intuitive to use. I wish it was open source, I would love to contribute to the project. Will also happily update this review as app improves.
