Point your camera at anything alive and find out what it is. Animals, birds, plants, trees, insects, mushrooms, and your own pets, right down to the breed. WildEcho identifies by sound as well as by sight, so the bird you can hear but never see is no longer a mystery. WHAT IT IDENTIFIES • Animals, wild and domestic, from foxes and frogs to your dog's exact breed • Birds, by photo or by their call • Plants and trees, including the cultivar and whether it is native or introduced • Flowers, with the season they bloom • Insects and spiders, including the look-alikes that are easy to confuse • Mushrooms and fungi, with the known toxicity and the dangerous species they resemble THREE WAYS TO IDENTIFY • Photograph it, point your camera and get an instant answer • Record it, capture a short clip and WildEcho names the species from its call • Describe it, type what you heard ("high whistle at night") and get the most likely match KNOW MORE THAN A NAME Every identification comes with habitat, range, size, conservation status and a fact worth repeating. Plants add bloom season and known toxicity. Animals add their sound and whether they are active by day or night. Your free identifications are complete ones. We limit how many you get, never how good they are. HONEST WHEN IT IS UNSURE A confident result says Match Found. A less certain one says Likely Match or Best Guess, and lists the species it could be confused with. You will always know how much to trust the answer. NEVER A FORAGING GUIDE WildEcho will never tell you a plant or mushroom is safe to eat. It names what it sees and describes known harm, and it stops there. Deadly species closely resemble common edible ones, and no app should be the thing standing between you and that mistake. BUILD YOUR FIELD JOURNAL Every find is saved to your species library. Level up from Egg to Echo Master, earn badges and keep a streak going, all included, no subscription needed. TRIP GUIDE Name a trip, log everything you discover along the way, then share a report of the whole outing. TRY IT FREE Start identifying with no account and no card. Pro adds unlimited identifications, a live species list for wherever you are and whatever the season, and profiles for all of your pets. Whether you are a curious backyard listener, a camper, a hiker, a gardener or a budding naturalist, WildEcho turns "what was that?" into "I know exactly what that is." AI-assisted identification for learning and enjoyment, not a substitute for expert guidance on dangerous or protected species.

WildEcho can identify a wide range of living things including animals (wild and domestic), birds (by photo or call), plants and trees, flowers, insects, spiders, and mushrooms. It can even identify your pet's specific breed. ### How does WildEcho identify species? WildEcho offers three identification methods: photographing the subject, recording its sound, or describing what you heard. The app uses AI-assisted technology to provide accurate matches. ### Does WildEcho provide information beyond just the name?

For plants, it includes bloom season and toxicity information, while animals include their sound and activity patterns. ### Can I save my discoveries with WildEcho? Absolutely. WildEcho allows you to build a personal field journal where every find is saved. You can also log entire trips and share reports of your discoveries. ### Is WildEcho safe to use for identifying edible plants or mushrooms? No, WildEcho is strictly an identification tool and will never advise on edibility. It names what it sees and describes known harm, but it is not a foraging guide. ### What are the benefits of WildEcho Pro?

This is available through a subscription. ### What is the update frequency for WildEcho? The app was last updated on August 23, 2026, indicating active development.

Results now tell you how sure they are. A strong match says Match Found, while a less certain one says Likely Match or Best Guess, instead of every answer looking equally confident. WildEcho also no longer nudges results toward a short list of local species, so what you photograph is judged on what it actually looks like. Sharing now sends the card itself, so a find can go straight to Instagram, Facebook, or anywhere else you share. Fixed: identifications that failed with a "check your connection" message when the problem was on our side, not yours. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-10 Sharing works now, and it is worth doing. Tap Share on any find and WildEcho builds you a proper card: your photo, the species, a fact worth repeating, and where you were. On the last version that button quietly did nothing at all. Trips keep what you find. Ending a trip used to show you a summary and then throw it away. Nothing was saved. Now every trip is kept, listed on the Trip tab, and you can open any of them again whenever you like. Add finds you have already made. Walked the shore, identified a few things, then thought about starting a trip? Anything already in your journal can be added to it, so you never identify the same creature twice. Share a whole trip as one card: where you went, when, and everything you found. Trips show your photos now, not just a list of names. Also in this update: Your Profile leads with your rank, badges and library instead of settings. The library is a shelf of photos with your full field journal one tap behind it, and account, plan and preferences now live together in one place. Reference photos. Every result now shows a real, credited photograph of the species so you can check it against what you actually saw. These were turning up as blank boxes. Faster identifications. Photos are resized before they are sent, so a big, detailed shot no longer times out on you. Straight answers. When an identification cannot be made, WildEcho tells you what went wrong instead of shrugging and saying "Unknown Creature". Sound IDs that hold on. If the full write-up cannot load, WildEcho tries again before falling back to a short version, so a weak signal out in the field no longer costs you the profile. The foraging warning is on mushrooms only. It was firing on garden flowers and lawn grass, which just teaches you to ignore it. On fungi, where look-alikes genuinely are dangerous, it stays exactly where it belongs. Photos you take in the app now save to your camera roll. Found something good? Your share card has @wildecho.app on it now. Tag us and we may feature your find. ### 1.0 — 2026-07-25 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
