Excellent app, but it doesn't let you simply look at species if you want to quickly look, you have to go through the entire process

Fantastic app; have used this as a field technician and a grad student. My only gripe is with the ordering of the adult key: characters are not grouped by body part, but scattered around the list. Male wing length and female wing length are nowhere near each other, features relating to the head are at the top and bottom of the key options. The nymphal key is organized nicely, but the adult key could use some work. Fantastic content otherwise, easy to skip around the key.
