I've just been upgraded to what I assume is the latest version 6.2.0 (207) and have found that I now have to click twice to add a record!
This is a plea to keep things simple - can we please go.go.back to.to.the single click + button. It's hard enough in the field as it is and the single click add was a joy.
And cacan We please default to stage not recorded unless specified.
It's fast becoming quicker to use a notebook and pencil again.

It seems to be a grid reference/location mismatch
Hi Sarah.
Did the record definitely have the phrase "we do not think it is a green veined white species"?
I had a look at butterfly records not accepted for 27th April and found a Green-veined White and a Small White record, both listed as "rejected as unable to verify". The verifier has given a reason for this by adding the comment "Thank you for submitting your record. Unfortunately we are unable to accept this record because the grid reference does not correspond to the given location."
So the issue is not that he or she is questioning your ID, it is the location data that appears to be incorrect. if it was submitted via the app, maybe you had moved from the original place you were recording and the app then recorded the grid reference of the place you were when the record was submitted, not the place you were when you actually saw it?
Downgrade of record adding procedure
Why do 'upgrades' always mean an actual downgrade? Now instead of a simple one press to add a record we have an annoying and quite honestly bizarre list come up that we have to select from. Please return to just one click to add thank you!

Hi Lucy, we apologise for the change, but we are trying to accommodate all users. Previously some of the options were hidden from users (e.g. Plant List Survey) who were not aware that a "long-press" on the add record + button offered more options. The new list removes that step, and so makes the app easier to use for the part of the community who want to use one of those other options. Best wishes, iRecord team

Making the app easier for 1% of users and slower for 99% of users does not seem like a good strategy...

Hi Mark, If you have specific feedback, we would be very pleased to receive it. The enhancement I mentioned above adds one extra tap for the user making a casual record on the debit side; on the credit side it enhances functionality across a range of projects and stakeholders. The breakdown here is certainly not 99 v 1. We will obviously be monitoring feedback and the profile across users. Best wishes, Oli
I didn't think we had to provide photos of everything we see, my record from 27th April with 4 species had 2 species accepted as there were photos and the other 2 rejected marked with a red cross and comment 'We do not think it is a green veined white species'. Surely the level of records I have submitted have verified I know my butterflies! Would like some feedback please
