I love the concept but the app could use a lot of work. Cannot upload images from gallery. You have to physically be in front of the wild edible to snap a picture of it to upload the image. There's isn't any sort of profile system. Would be nice to have profiles so people can have images and maybe a counter for now many spots they have uploaded. Would be a good incentive for people to start sharing more spots because it's pretty bare. Hope this app improves and doesn't become stagnant.

For instance, if I want to find apple trees, I can't have it show me all apple trees together but must select from the 150+ varieties and display them one at a time.
