Hello NatureMaprs!
As users are adjusting to major structural changes to the platform we have more news regarding the data collector app and our focus for the next few months which will take us into next year. We also cannot wait for your sightings as the weather begins to warm-up and would like to give our moderator community a shoutout for all their time and effort spent verifying sightings on NatureMapr.
The latest update for our moble app, Version 6.3.1 on iOS and Android has gone live! This update contains several bug fixes that will improve the stability of our app, please ensure you update the app and if you have a minute leave us a positive review, your support is very much appreciated. Thank you to our mobile engineer Tim, @Kasiaaus for leading our testing work and @Aaron for pushing us to successfully release the update!
A couple small updates to website functionality include the simplification of collection creation accompanied by a How-to video walking users through creating a collection and the CSV spreadsheet generated by our Export tool now includes a column called 'channel' which marks sightings as being uploaded via the web, mobile, or data import.
The Team is now shifting their focus towards supporting the platform's current functionality, promotional work, and place and species-based programs. As part of the Illawarra Nature Festival, 2025 We will be presenting NatureMapr's work in professional place and species-based citizen science programs on Saturday the 13th of September, 1:15-1:30pm at the Servo in Port Kembla, we would love to see you there! Check out the full program and grab a free ticket here.
Have a great weekend,
From the NatureMapr Team
