Latest reviews of eSnakes of Southern Africa app for iPhone and iPad

Frustrating on an iPad
The information is fairly extensive but the screen shot is iPhone size and makes reading on an iPad frustrating. This significantly diminishes the experience.
Great guide by the foremost expert
Sharp images, exhaustive details with accurate distribution maps. Marais has an outstanding written guide and does classes in South Africa. I read this one all the time.
