OPEN THE CAMERA AND START SEEKING!
Found a mushroom, flower, or bug, and not sure what it is? Open up the Seek Camera to see if it knows!
Drawing from millions of wildlife observations on iNaturalist, Seek shows you lists of commonly recorded insects, birds, plants, amphibians, and more in your area. Scan the environment with the Seek Camera to identify organisms using the tree of life. Add different species to your observations and learn all about them in the process! The more observations you make, the more badges you’ll earn!
This is a great app for families who want to spend more time exploring nature together, and for anyone who wants to learn more about the life all around them.
KID-SAFE
Seek does not require registration and does not collect any user data by default. Some user data will be collected if you choose to sign in with an iNaturalist account, but you must be over 13 or have your parents permission to do so.
Seek will ask permission to turn on location services, but your location is obscured to respect your privacy while still allowing species suggestions from your general area. Your precise location is never stored in the app or sent to iNaturalist unless you sign in to your iNaturalist account and submit your observations.
Our image recognition technology is based on observations submitted to iNaturalist.org and partner sites, and identified by the iNaturalist community.
Seek is part of iNaturalist, a not-for-profit organization. Seek was made by the iNaturalist team with support from the California Academy of Sciences, the National Geographic Society, Our Planet on Netflix, WWF, HHMI Tangled Bank Studios, and Visipedia.
So much fun! Makes every walk an educational scavenger hunt.
great App with the concept of going from a plant, an insect to a bird. all without advertising. slight bug from time to time the application closes by itself.
As others have said, the app itself is great although it can struggle identifying clear photos of relatively easy species...) HOWEVER the fact there is no way to sync your data anywhere and if you switch devices, you lose everything is insane... Add in a way to backup/save/sync your data (stand alone or to inaturalist) and its easily a 5* app
Took a number of photos, it couldn't tell me anything but a pansy, really? Uninstalled.
Pretty good identifier Needs an internet connection to work properly but doesn't steal too much bandwidth. Overall satisfied with it.
Installed. Couldn't recognise location, said I had no GPS. Uninstalled. Disappointed that software like this is so buggy but not completely surprised.
works really well and fast (and offline!), even with NZ native stuff
