Verdict
Which one for you?
These two apps do not aim at the same thing. iNaturalist is a scientific instrument: its validated observations feed real publications, and nothing replaces that. SafaRoll is a collection game that identifies. If you want to contribute to science, take iNaturalist — and nothing stops you having both.
