The search function is not functional and you can't search family or species names. It is not worth the money and suggest rather to buy the book. It is sad, because with a little bit effort it can be turned into a really awesome app. This should be easy to fix.

App is very good would like if the app had a bar where you can describe what you are looking at and then give you a short list of what it might be... Like an identification section
