Leave a Review iRecord App
Brilliant nature recording app
I use this for myself to keep a track of what I’ve seen in different areas. It’s good to compare trends between places and seasons.
It’s also used for “citizen science” and I love being a part of that. When a record is accepted as being valid a confirmatory email is sent (photo required).
The app is very easy to use and covers a huge variety of flora and fauna. Can be used on the go as it will pick up your location. (Can also be used later on).Show lessSarah.bubblemunch
The best option
If you really want to contribute to the conservation cause and enjoy observing all wildlife then this is the app for you. If enough people use this app it could really make a difference particularly if people note what’s seen around where they live and work. Go on, get it, use it and help change the world.Show lessthe other stephen fry
Pokemon for Real Wildlife - protect our countyside
The app is pretty basic as i’m sure the budget was modest, but its functional and you can tag species of birds, insects and plants to help paint a picture of our countryside and the heath of the species that live within it. Our council proposed residents log their findings to help support a proposal to create a wildlife protection zone. A fun little hobby with an potentially fantastic end if it deflects developersShow lessBoatman55
Wanting to record one field
Have been keeping paper lists of the field but no-one interested in data can find them in my bungalow. Now people who know are checking my findings. Am delighted.BelfryBatofBat
Quick, easy but missing a few species
I travel a lot so record all over the Uk. I can enter records from everywhere on here easily. However, there have been a few species I’ve not been able to enter (I struggle to remember now but I think it was a fungi and one if the woodlouse species) which has been frustrating. My records also buffered when submitting for about a week a while ago tho they eventually sent. I queried this on Twitter to your account but think that it’s checked rarely or run by volunteers which I respect and understand. Overall tho.. great and thanks for creating this fun app.Show lesswildlifesarah
IRecord app
Great facility for making your wildlife observations valuable! Share your sightings so that the information can be used to help conserve the dwindling wildlife.
The app is easy to use, so you put the records in as you make them based on the info provided by your phone! A few clicks and the sighting is saved for posterity. You can then look back at your results and see them in context with what everyone else has found.
It adds to the fun of spotting something new when you’re on a walk ! Try it, it’s very easy to use.Show lesspaultat13
Fast and convenient recording
You can record pretty much any wild species of living organism. Handy for random sightings as it picks up gps automatically. Verification of records almost all depends on volunteers, so some groups/areas are verified fast but others may not be verified at all. However your records are saved for your own interest, or for verifiers in the future.
Some species groups (e.g. birds (BirdTrack), fungi, hoverflies) or geographic areas have separate recording systems, but it is possible to download data to pass on elsewhere later on.
Particularly handy for holiday records on the spot.Show lessHedwogian777

Very useful for recording species with added bonus of recalling previous places visited. It’s a shame that records don’t transfer over when updating phones but this may be operator error. I.e historic personal records and photos dating back years can no longer be viewed on mobile device.
Thank youImpudecus
Easy-to-use recording app
A convenient way of getting species records into the NBD. The app lets you save entries for later editing or review, or send straight off. The georeferencing works reasonably well, but does depend on the available resolution of the mapping which can change from one location to another. It is not possible to edit submitted records using the app, but this can be done via the iRecord website. No snags encountered.Show lessMicrotis
Contributing to UK biological records
Easy to use app that allows for quick recording of UK flora and fauna in the field (or later if you prefer). It’s great to feel that my observations are contributing in some small way to the greater understanding of the distribution of our native species; and to have an expert confirm my records.ABrodovitch
