What's New in Animal Track Identifier
1.0.2
October 19, 2026
A big upgrade to identification: • Any animal, not a short list — the identifier now names whatever left the print, wild or domestic, mammal or bird. Every result opens a field profile with track size, toes, look-alikes, activity and safety notes. • 10 new in-depth guides: feral hog, elk, moose, mountain lion, grizzly bear, opossum, cottontail rabbit, beaver, river otter and Canada goose. • Sharper, more honest results — a new identification engine reads hoof vs. paw first, ranks look-alikes side by side, and clearly labels a "best guess" when a print is hard to read. • Live framing help — the camera tells you when a track is in view and how to get a better shot. • Pick the right match yourself and log it to your journal in one tap. • Your sightings map now shows where you actually found your tracks. • Fixes: no more made-up results when you're offline, and the assistant tells you honestly when it can't answer.
