Read full descriptionHide full description
Lisovychok is a map for mushroom pickers that helps you explore new forests, save your mushroom spots and return to them again. The app is currently available in Ukrainian. SAVE YOUR MUSHROOM SPOTS Found mushrooms? Tap "Found", choose the species and amount. Lisovychok groups nearby finds into one spot and keeps its history. On the map you can see what grows there, how many mushrooms there were this season and when the latest find was recorded. Give each spot your own name and easily return to it a month later or next season. TRACK YOUR ROUTE Start a trip and Lisovychok automatically records your path. The map shows which parts of the forest you have already covered and where there is still more to explore. Keep your phone in your pocket β the route continues recording in the background. Driving between forest areas is excluded from your walking path. THE MAP WORKS OFFLINE Prepare the area you need before your trip. Search for a nearby town or village, move to the part of the forest you want and save the map to your phone. In the forest, satellite imagery, your route and your saved spots keep working without an internet connection. EVERY TRIP HAS A HISTORY Your journal keeps every trip: route, duration, distance, finds, new spots, photos and notes. Open any previous trip to see where you walked and what you found. MINIMAL INPUT IN THE FOREST Mark your car, start a trip and then use one main button β "Found". If you forget to end the trip, Lisovychok automatically stops recording at midnight. MORE IN LISOVYCHOK β’ Photos and notes for your finds. β’ A car marker with the exact distance back to it. β’ Compass over the map. β’ Your routes, finds, spots and photos stay only on your phone. β’ No accounts and no ads.
