Ob bei einem Spaziergang oder dem Picknick im Park - Sichtungen von Waschbären, Marderhunden und Minken können in der App eingetragen werden. So sollen Funddaten zusammengetragen werden, sofern eine der betrachteten Tierarten aufgefunden wird. App-Nutzer können so einen einfachen Eintrag zur Art der Sichtung erstellen. Hierbei wird zwischen Beobachtung der Tiere selbst, Spuren, Kot, Prädationsereignis und Sonstigem unterschieden. Der Standort wird automatisch durch GPS markiert. Datum und Uhrzeit werden ebenfalls aufgenommen, zusätzlich können Daten zu Anzahl, Geschlecht, Alter der Tiere u.v.m. gemacht werden. Die App stellt anhand des angegebenen Standortes zusätzlich Informationen zu den nächstgelegenen, beziehungsweise zu den verantwortlichen Behörden bereit, mit denen bei Bedarf Kontakt aufgenommen werden kann.
