Wild Edibles Full

I use this app on an almost daily basis and it has helped me learn so much more about wild edibles With the recipes included this is almost the most perfect app out there My only gripe would be the filter function doesnt seem to work very effectively Other than that this is the perfect app for anyone and everyone                 Most useful app out there

This used to be my favorite app an I used it all the time But now it just crashes every time you open it after 5 seconds Its very frustrating especially as much as the app costs When you fix this Ill give you more starsbut for now I give you oneId give none of that was an option     Aggravated

Very handy reference for foragers herbalists and anyone with any natural curiosity about whats growing around them Great pictures make safe identification easy Lots of focus on safety A definite must if going on a foraging tour with The Wildman and a great companion to the books                 User friendly and lots of fun

I took a class with Steve Brill in central park a few weeks ago and afterwards bought the app Since then its helped me to confidently identify a handful of wild plants that Ive brought home and cooked with Its also got great directions on how to prep and store and cook Definitely worth the price considering the potential to save on simple groceries like garlic greens tea etc                 Helps me forage on my own

This update takes 2 gig of space more than a GPS map database        Too big

This app is amazing Honestly I prob wud have paid atleast 10 for it cause its soooo helpful in so many ways Thank u app maker One thing I know there r a lot of plants in the database but u cant have too many keep adding plants please                 Missin nothing

Havent been able to get past the disclaimer screen since the last update Either freezes or crashes as soon as I press accept     Booo

This app is amazing but there are a few issues One is that in the search bar if you type in 4 letters or more and search it it crashes But other than that there arent any things that make it crash that I know of Recommend for app designers if you could have more details for the poisonous plants like where it can be found or symptoms if you eat or touch it etc That would be great Thanks              Awesome

The descriptions are good however the images that are used many times are not helpful They are either too close up or too far away The images do not show variation on what the plant can look like Images seem like theyre taken from stock photos without consideration the user Overall just too few images to be helpful in identifying plants accurately and assuredly           Ok

This is a fantastic app All you need ID with pictures Recipes poisonous look a likes Even a few jokes to help you along your way Well worth your time                 All you need in one app

Great app features I especially like Multiple photos and botanical drawings to help ID plants really captured the key features to help when I was out in the field ability to filter by region and season uses for plants medicinally and culinary included with tasty looking recipes                 Great wild foraging app

This is a Wildman Steve foraging tour in the palm of your hand Tons of photos and very detailed descriptions for each wild plant make it easy to identify them and learn their nutritional and medicinal benefits Lots of yummy wild food recipes too This app is the next best thing to joining Wildman for one of his live Foraging Tours but dont stop with the app Treat yourself to a very affordable invaluable live tour You will laugh and learn sooo much while enjoying an afternoon in the great outdoors                 Expert accurate user friendly foraging guide

This app has several things going for it the excellent color photos warnings about poisonous lookalike plants cross references The thing that bugged me was the disclaimer popping up each time the app was opened Once at time of purchase is ok not each time the app is opened Also a little pricey But still ok              Not as great as other reviewers said but ok

Not sure what the other reviewers have been talking about this runs fine and looks beautiful on my iphone4 Love the interface upgrade Love the new plants And Steves info is solid OK so there are a couple crashes but thereve been several updates in the last month so it seems like the developers are on it Totally worth what I paid for it I take this on all my walks                 Great Update

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                 All the essentials

Update 2 So the last update now causes the app to crash whenever I touch the letters on the side of the list of plants Update They have made it clearer you dont have to download the high res images and added a search bar in response to complaints Good in the developers So I eased my review to 2 stars The app is still poorly laid out Especially for the small vertical iPhone screen For instance having to click an extra button to see picture comments just reduces the usability The layout of the descriptive info on the pant pages is a pain Yes their is the bell and whistle of resizing the text vs image screen space but nothing is designed to work together The location notes are a fine idea but awkward to use Navigation is a pain because the is no way to get back to a home screen after following a trail of associated plant If you go carrot to parsnip to hemlock through the similar plants links you can only travel back with many back arrows This is a fundamental design flaw Search by name features and association should be the bedrock of this kind of app Again all that was needed was more plant Still a big screw up of what was the best plant ID app I have met Steve and enjoy his courses I support him in general and loved having the previous version of the app in my pocket as I wandered the city learning edible plants This redesign is ill conceived First the obvious thing I think is the assumption here is the app is best on an iPad as that is how Steve uses it in his walks I dont I use it as a lite confirmation app on my iPhone which is always with me I need various search criteria to find plants based on environment season etc I do not have room for a multi gigabyte download of hi res photos I also dont need recipes on the go that is a better iPad app so I am glad you have moved that to a separate app though it would be cooler to give previous users the separate recipe app free since we just loss that content Overall the only update this app really needed was more plants The search redesign seems to give less options and the horizontal picture format doesnt make sense unless you can view horizontally on the device Currently it doesnt rotate I liked the old list view better for my smaller iPhone screen in general I give all this feedback to be helpful You all should be able to see the breakdown of device usage by you current users If i am a fluke you might ignore the iPhone users but just leave the old design for us and introduce the new one as iPad only It I an not a fluke then you need a major redefine You got mislead by you app developer on this one        Update screwed up a great app

Ive been using this app since it first came out and have always enjoyed it This current update sounded promising until I found out the app used up the rest of my drive space and it showed as 375 GB usage for the app Yikes Also it is extremely slow and glitchy on a 4S Trying to view image resulted in images loading slowly in chunks and that was with my very high speed wifi connection I cant imagine trying to view an image in the field Unfortunately I had to delete the app because it is pretty much unusable for me now It will be easier to carry Samuel Thayers foraging books with me in the field than try to use this new version I do hope they resolve this problem soon     Update problems

Why is there not a choice for the Southeast           Regions

The many photos of each plant plus descriptions and lookalike info make it really easy to identify what you are looking at The stories make it a fun read Having it as an app means it is easy to carry in the field                 Great resource

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                 This app is foraging awesome

I use it all the time on hikes There is no other foraging app with this much detail and usability                 Great

Steve Brill is recognized as one of the foremost authorities in the New England area of the United States His app is a brilliant piece of work and his expert knowledge shines through I highly recommend this app for your in field quick reference and as a supplemental study guide to a live mentor Proper in every way                 Best phone app on the market

This app goes into great detail about many facts about the harvest truly interesting Each plant has recipes to medicinal purposes if applicable I like the color pictures I like the part where you put the type of environment you are in help you identify if you are not sure I do have this on my iPhone too The comparisons between different look alikes is important In fairness I must say I bought his book first but wanted something even more handy                 Great job on this app

Great info missing a key piece to make it useful and safe Common names are too inconsistent Which elderberry do you call common elderberry Blue based on the berry description but this app needs to include the botanical names     No botanical names

This app could be so much better and considering the price I expected a lot more The identifier is not that great not quick to find things and I wouldnt feel confident that I was eating the right plant           Expected better for the price

Went on a foraging tour with the Wildman and bought the app that same day I love it High quality photos super easy to navigate and lots of reliable information If youre going to learn learn from an expert And if you can definitely take some of his foraging classes Theres no substitute for the real thing                 Fantastic app

Useful app that is simple to navigate Refer to it often for help identifying edibles Wildmans tours are great too                 Easy to use

I was referred to the application by a friend and can safely say that it was a great purchase The recent update was well planned and thought through I am unsure about the previous reviews regarding the version but I got past the disclaimer screen without the problem on my 5S The one caveat I have are the image sizes The application does take up a fair amount of space I would be willing to have lower quality images for the app if it took up less space                 Amazing Application

Very helpful The photos and diagrams simplify identification and ruling out of various plants I highly recommend this app                 Wild Edibles Excellent Resource

At a minimum one should be able to type in the text string California and return all wild plants that have that string in any given field for that record     Text string search please

What I really wanted this for was adding pictures to geographic locations so I could look up what plants I found and where I found them I just wanted to be able to add a pin with a note and picture attached It seems I can only add a note when Im in a plant entry I like the idea of being able to look something up yes I too use my phone theres not a lot of plants from my western scruboak environment on the ap anyway Its already too big though I had to delete a ton of stuff I have 16gb just to get the ap to finish I just dont think you can fit enough on there to be able to do that offline           Its ok but

I usually carry notes when leading herb walks here in the Ozarks Now Im only going to need my phone and my notes will be backup Cant wait to tell others about this app                 Wonderful tool

I bought this app from Steve the Wildman Brill for one reason it was created from first hand knowledge and he is accessible to meet and talk to He offers first hand accounts of all the plants he speaks of I am using this on a 4th gen ipod touch I like the categories that each plant entry offers uses recipes warnings and the ability to take your own notes There also seems to be good vision for future enhancements My kids and I are already out gathering and cooking great stuff                 Right from the Source

Only downloaded the app a few days ago and Ive already used it successfully several times Takes up a lot of space but its well worth it                 Great resource

I use this app for all my foraging excursions in the northeast US The setup is user friendly and you can filter results in various ways It has helped me identify many plants and also inspired new plants to search for It even has recipes and recommended uses I would recommend this app for anyone that wants an offline pocket database of wild edibles                 Useful database

Tired of the crashing Want my money back Big long story under dandelions about how the author was persecuted over 30 years ago Let it go man let it go     Crashes Incomplete Dumb Humor

Starting my voyage into learning more about wild edible foods and Ive really been enjoying this appits laid out nice for an easy interface with clear pictures that help to identify different edible plantsit gets into harvesting medicinal uses the nutritional constituents recipes and morethats a lot of bang for the buckplus I like supporting people who are on a mission to educate others with healthy and useful informationcheers Get this App                 Great Resource

Verry usefull on hikes great way to id wild plants                 Usefull

I didnt open the app until I was on my way to the park for a walk this morning I then did the normal agree to location services and waiver then had to go I ended up leaving my iPad in the car during the hour walk When I came back I saw I had 3 notices from my data plan Now two days ago Id just purchased the 3G253month add on to the 10 I had left of the previous 3G This usually lasts me quite a while 68 wks without LTE being turned on I was quite surprised to see 3 notices popping up to me about data volume exhaust 936am 20 data warning 944am 10 data warning 953am 2 data warning There are 266 high def pictures which need to be downloaded I paid 8 for the app and I just finished paying another 25 for these surprise pictures I had no idea existed Sheesh I guess my bad but I thought the app was already downloaded at home And absolutely a warning while I wasnt on a wifi network about this data volume would have been nice I dont really know how to rate the app itself I havent used it yet This has just got me really annoyed at this point Even on my wifi the downloads just finished now 217pm The app will consume 25G of memory So this is a pretty hefty program Im sure itll be beautiful Ill come back up my stars if its fun to play with but right now Im just irritated           Warning do not initialize unless you are on wifi

This app is full of useful information and great photos for proper identification I have the full version                 Great App

Ive used Steves app for a little over a year now and think its great As someone who has been studying wilderness survival and primitive arts for the past decade I think everyone should check this out                 Great Content

I took Steves tour in Central Park today and am looking forward to using his app to do some solo foraging Thanks Steve                 Great idea

I used to love this app It was an essential part of any hiking excursion Now it crashes within a minute or two every single time I try to use it Wish I had a warning before updating I would have left it alone As it is now this app is useless Will try it again after I get a new phone but not getting my hopes up     Crashes Every Time

This is just what an app needs to be You can choose which plants you want to see for each season as well Wildman is a selftaught forager I remember foraging with him His sense of humor even in this resonates clearly                 Love it

Super informative and easy to navigate Multiple pictures and illustrations of each plant All the info you need How to spot harvestcooketc So much easier to pull out your cell phone than lug around a book or two and search through them dirty hands I highly recommend this app                 Wild Edibles

We love the app even more so after the tour of prospect park to reinforce what we learned foraging too Highly recommend for homeschoolers encourage your young naturalist explorers with detailed info as you interact with nature                 We love this app

Shortly after graduating from the School of Natural Healing as a Master Herbalist my desire to explore all of natures green treasures grew Although skilled in utilizing medicinal plants it became increasingly clear to me of the necessity of tackling the vast somewhat frightening subject of wild edibles Fortunately with Wildman Steve Brills new and easy to follow app my journey had become much easier than expected Whether a die hard plant enthusiast or just a curious onlooker youll be amazed by the information this remarkable man has garnered over the past several decades                 Master Herbalist

Great resource to have in hand Way easier to carry in the field than the books Way better photos than I can ever take Never have any problems with the app And I recommend going out foraging with Wildman if you are ever in the NYC area                 Fabulous resource

You are not going to find a more reliable person when it comes to helping identify wild edibles Steve Brill is not just someone making apps he has been out in the field teaching kids and adults handson for 30 years You can rest assured that the information within this app is the most accurate you will find because Steves experience is unparalleled Plus hes out there every day doing what he loves refining and expanding on his already vast knowledge This app is chockfull of information from the pictures to the drawings to the multiple identification options No need to waste your time trying out other apps this is the one to own Just adding on to my previous review here but this app has only gotten better over the years and it is still the one to own You would be hardpressed to find someone with more knowledge out there than the Wildman He lives and breathes this stuff As he might say using this app will make you dieof happiness                 Best one out there

Great app I use it often and I love the humor                 Great app
