I thought of a couple enhancements that would be nice to haves for critters

1. Allow for the ability to add and label multiple photos directly to the critter, not necessarily to a dive and tagged. This would allow the user to highlight Adult, Sub-Adult, Juvenile, etc. for each critter.

2. Sub-Categories. It would help with organization to have an additional layer of classification, especially for those that photograph and track corals. It would be badass if corals had their own library to track size, health, and sightings, but sub-categories would be great help in the critters library.

Thanks again Nick! Keep up the awesome work!!

PS - totally agree with you, Ænima is the best finding that made my day.

By this, do you mean that you go to Critters and just add random photos there, that weren't necessarily taken on a dive or something?

I could potentially add this, but will have to wait till I do a database refresh. I've added a note to the list of stuff I have to do for that.

Please don't be too disturbed when the new update comes out (it now picks randomly between all the albums..). 51 days till I see them over here!

Yes, photos that aren't associated with a dive.

Sounds good, let me know if you need a tester.

Haha, there isn't a bad album amongst them all. Saw them twice on this tour.. mind blowing. Hope you have a great time!

Cool, thanks for clarifying. There are outstanding requests to allow more than one photo for sites and gear also. All of that also requires database changes - I know I keep using this as an excuse, it's more just that it is a very large undertaking, particularly with cloud syncing involved. I'll get to it.

Awesome! We're going to both days here

I'll sign up for testing on sub-critters as well.
