We have completely redeveloped the app. We have listened to feedback and have built an app that we are extremely proud of. Here are some of the features we worked hard on: 1. Offline capabilities. -Sightings will load offline. -Pins on the map will load offline. 2. Push notifications -You can set to get alerts of new sightings for all the parks you are interested in. 3. Light on data -We have worked on making the app light on data, especially when you are in the park and using your data, and not using wifi. Latest Sightings is an app where visitors to the app's supported nature safari parks (view list of parks at end of description) can share their wildlife sightings, in realtime, with other visitors in the game reserve and also to users world wide. The app is a service to visitors on safari. This utility app notifies you of sightings in your area, so that you can go and check them out for yourself in real life. You never have to drive around the whole day seeing nothing, you can now see the magnificent big 5, such as the lion and leopard, everyday on your safari. This is also the perfect app for wildlife lovers. Latest Sightings allows users to get their daily dose of nature, whether they are in the game park or not.
