Only used WildCatt and would feel naked without it. Interested to hear comments about Orchidwiz, as I don't know anyone who has used it.

I have them both, and Orchidwiz is basically the next generation improvement on Wildcatt. Orchidwiz has a lot of really cool features, all of the AQ information, pictures (of many species and hybrids, but definitely not all), blooming season, awards comparisons (sortable), ability to search w/o the genera name, progeny, species backgrounds, and a bunch more. The updates will really improve this with more pictures, etc. Also the information from RHS and AQ seem is of higher quality.

I have been very happy with Wildcatt over the years, but this seems to be a vast improvement.

I have both also. I love that Orchidwiz has pictures so you can see all parents. Have had no trouble using it. With time and people sending in pictures it will be a great base for people to use.
