Pros and cons of Foraging with the "Wildman" app for iPhone and iPad
Foraging with the "Wildman" app good for
This is an excellent app with lots of useful information for anyone that spends time outdoors! Very nice layout with an excellent search function. Mainly based on wild edibles in the East but many of the same grow on the western coast as well. Money well spent! Thanks!!
Great app! I use it often. Educational and reliable. More northern (north of 50) plants would be great but theres enough here to get me started. This guy is a pro.
Great app, packed with useful infos wrapped in a great sense of humour.
I had the lite version for awhile and was hesitant in purchasing this no reviews and expensive. After purchasing 2 other less expensive edible apps and being disappointed. I payed for this app and have never been more impressed with an app it is undersold in the description and the lite version does not compare to this full version.
This app is 100% worth the money. It is easy to use, full of great information, and, of course, a superb way to identify local edible plants! :D
A lot a detail, easy to use. The only downside is that it had only info about plants in NY state(and around). Would be nice if expert people contribute for other regions in USA and Canada!
Some bad moments
I purchased the app and wish I didnt waste my money now. The search tab just freezes the app and to find something you have to select a region. My region isnt on the list. It says West Coast or South West but they are not inland BC.
The free app to this is better than the paid ver. The menu system is missing, information is harder to find, and no south east filter.
I use this app in Central Park. It describes all the common edibles in detail and makes it easy for the novice to start foraging. The recipes are an added bonus. A GPS addition would be nice so you could go back to that berry bush you found last year.
I took Steves tour in Central Park today and am looking forward to using his app to do some solo foraging. Thanks Steve!
Very detailed app that has everything you should need to get started. There is even an expansion you can purchase with 500 recipes so you can cook up your findings.
Starting my voyage into learning more about wild edible foods and Ive really been enjoying this app...its laid out nice for an easy interface with clear pictures that help to identify different edible plants....it gets into harvesting, medicinal uses, the nutritional constituents, recipes, and more!......thats a lot of bang for the buck...plus I like supporting people who are on a mission to educate others with healthy and useful information...cheers! Get this App !
