The Wild Tracker App is a free app for people to quickly log animal sightings in and around your community. For example, deer or bear sightings or any other wildlife that your community is interested in tracking or trying to learn about their population counts in your area. A municipality, or organization such as a fish & wildlife or game commission typically invites and promotes patrons in their community to download and use the Wild Tracker App so they can then benefit from the data collected while using it. It's useful for trying to determine the density of various types of animals in geographic locations. For example, it can be useful by the Game Commission for determining the number of animals that are allowed to be harvested. It can be used for determining which areas to be more cautious when driving a vehicle. There are many scientific and biological reasons for tracking animals such as providing safety to both animals and humans.

Stud Finder® holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stud Finder® has 23K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of Stud Finder®'s written reviews are positive against 50% of WildTracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
