The CMM WildFlower app provides access to the entire content of the CNM Wildflower web site, including its searchable database. It is perfect for exploring the remote flower-filled areas of the Cabrillo National Monument and Point Loma that lack an Internet connection. In addition, the app contains settings and viewing choices not present on the web site. It also works great on non-cellular devices . Finally, because all of the content resides on your device the app is generally significantly more responsive than the online web site.

The size of the app is its main disadvantage. The app's content is significant as it includes almost 350 plants and 2500 photos. After you add the searchable database the storage burden on your device is about 350MB.

An easy way to experience the content of this app before deciding to install the app is to visit the on-line version. Here is a direct link to the Mobile Online Version of the CNM WildFlower website.

There are some differences between the content of the web site and the app. For example, the app has a toolbar at the top of the screen providing access to some of the site's main pages. Because of this we have removed some of the unnecessary links from the pages of the app. For example, there is no need for a "Finder" link on any of the app's pages since the Finder is always available as a button on the toolbar. In the past it was worth noting that the on-line version tended to more up to date than the app. These days, however, the content changes so slowly that is no longer much of a concern.

This app and its sister "SMM Wildflowers" share many of the same plants and hence many of the same pictures. If you like SMM WildFlowers, and are looking for plants at the Cabrillo National Monument that SMM WildFlowers does not contain, then this is the app for you.
