Wild Spotter

This app is likeee sooo goood oh em gee. Its so epic and awesome and helps so much! #SpotTheWild

App is quite nice, with good ID info and reporting tools. One challenge is that, in offline mode, photos of the species are not saved for me — if the app is still being maintained, that would be an awesome thing to address! Considering pushing this app to citizen scientists, and that would be a good tool for them.

First of all, I love the idea of the app. But it has its flaws. Namely not as many national forests as there really should be...a total of 27 as of writing this, not even enough for one in each US state. I’m from Pennsylvania and the closest forest to me is 200 or so miles away. And the majority of the forests listed are further than that. Other than that, I think it’s decent, just needs more forests. Maybe an app like iNaturalist can partner with this app?
