Thanks Mike. I've found the issue with the subsequent images being not included. It's exactly the same bug as yesterday but in a different part of the code. Uploading a new/fixed version to Google Play right now. It should come down in your updates very soon today.

I never picked it as a fern.

How do I distinguish the species? One is rare in the ACT (though I don't know how common the others are).

It needs to be in an area that has dried out, so that it produces spores. Then use a microscope to look at the spore cases and how the spores are arranged. I, personally, leave it to the experts.

Marsilea mutica is the only Marsilea species in southeast Australia that has two tone colouring (Plant net, and VicFlora online)
