I tried to record a Ribbon Jumping Spider Metacyrba taeniola ( I think that's what it is) but the app doesn't recognise either the common or the latin name

That species doesn't appear to be on the British list (a quick look on GBIF suggests it is found in North America - Metacyrba taeniola similis Banks, 1904 (gbif.org)), so that's why it isn't an option. If it was identified using an app then it would be worth seeing if there is a UK, or at least a European version so that is only suggests European species.
