## What is Animal Identifier by Kaught?

Kaught is an animal identifier app that names any species from a photo in seconds and saves it to your own wildlife collection. Point your camera at a bug, a bird, a spider, a snake or a frog, and Kaught tells you what it is, how that species is really doing in the wild, and keeps the photo, place, date and time forever.

WHAT ANIMAL IS THIS? ASK YOUR CAMERA
Kaught identifies animals by photo across every group: mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, arachnids and more. One app that works as a bug identifier, spider identifier, snake identifier and bird identifier.
• What bug is this? Point and shoot for an answer in seconds.
• What spider is in my house? Kaught names it and tells you whether it is venomous.
• What snake just crossed the trail? You get the species, not a guess.
• Pets and farm animals too, recognised right down to the breed.

HOW IS THIS SPECIES DOING?
Most animal identifier apps stop at the name. Every Kaught species card also states where that animal stands: stable in the wild, becoming vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered. Each card carries one practical thing you can do to help. Pets and farm animals are marked domestic, because a dog has no wild population to rate. Your collection quietly becomes a picture of the wildlife around you and how it is faring.

BUILD A WILDLIFE COLLECTION, NOT A CAMERA ROLL
Kaught is a collection game built on real animals. Every species you identify becomes a card in your personal wildlife collection.
• Thousands of species to collect, each with its own card.
• Every memory kept: photo, place, date and time.
• Meet the same animal again and again. Your shots are all kept, each stamped with its own date and time.
• 68 badges to earn, from your very first find to Grand Explorer.

A FIELD GUIDE IN YOUR POCKET
Every catch teaches you something. Each species card is a mini field guide:
• Habitat, behaviour and size at a glance.
• A "did you know" fact for every species.
• Real scientific names alongside everyday common names.

WHAT LIVES NEAR ME?
Spin the world map and see your own encounters pinned where you found them, alongside real, dated wildlife sightings published near you. Kaught is a nature tracker and field journal in one, so you know what is actually out there before you go looking.

WHY CHOOSE KAUGHT
• Real animals. A collection game built on the actual species around you.
• An animal identifier, a nature journal and a wildlife collection in one app.
• Beautiful, simple, and made to get you outside.
If you have been looking for the best app to identify wild animals, an app that identifies animals from a picture, or an app to track the animals you have seen, Kaught is it.

WHO IT IS FOR
Curious explorers, families, hikers, birdwatchers, bug and spider spotters, gardeners, photographers, teachers and kids. Anyone who has ever asked what animal is this. Whether you are identifying a spider in your house or cataloguing birds on a hike, Kaught makes the wild collectable.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-28

Every day, Kaught now picks one species for you to find: chosen for your area, the season, and what's already in your journal, with a fresh tip on where to look. Watch for the gold circle on your journal — when it glows, today's species is waiting.

Also in this update:

• Kaught now speaks Spanish and French — pick your language in Settings → Account
• Journal full at a ground? You can now release a species and let today's find take its slot
• Species tips are back — faster, more reliable, and in your language
• Faster scans: results start sooner, especially indoors
• Every scan now tells you what happened, even when nothing matched
• A simpler Settings, and Badges are back where you'd expect them
• Fixes: switching accounts while your collection syncs no longer misbehaves, and animations now respect Reduce Motion

### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-23

Billing and paywall fixes.

• Your free trial now unlocks everything from the first second: unlimited leaves, the map, cloud backup, and no upgrade banner. Settings shows how many trial days you have left.
• The Lifetime plan now appears wherever you open the paywall, not only during setup. Pay once and keep premium for good. It stays hidden while you already have an active subscription, so you can never be billed twice.
• Tapping Subscribe before prices had finished loading could fail without a word. The app now waits for the store and completes your purchase.
• The offer band now sits at the top of every screen, and disappears the moment you subscribe.
• Creating your account now takes one screen instead of two.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-19

Identification is faster, and a scan that cannot finish now tells you instead of spinning. Pets come back with a breed, not just a species.
An empty collection opens on animals living near you. The nearby list has its own filter. Your count, search and filters share one row now.
The intro is shorter and ends by opening the camera on your first find.
Your subscription lives with your account, switching plans counts as a change rather than leaving, and a declined card gives you time to fix it.
Plus the usual fixes and polish.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-12

• Your own pins now show their true conservation colour on the map — domestic animals included.
• Your profile counts the countries you've collected in, and lists what you found in each.
• Fixed the Kaught Inspector animation stalling, and card sharing.
• The daily limit is now clearly 25 captures per rolling 24 hours.
• Cancelling premium now explains plainly what it costs: backup pauses, but nothing you've saved is deleted.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-12

Faster, sharper identifications.

• Species ID is quicker and more accurate, and now always leads with the common name — no more Latin-only results.
• You can now delete a catch from your collection.
• Up to 25 captures a day.
• Subscribing is smoother: no more accidental dismissals, and a failed payment no longer ends the flow.
• Redeem a creator code straight from the paywall.
• Plenty of small fixes and polish to keep things stable.
• design
