About

Little Wild

Read full description

Little Wild turns everyday encounters with nature into a personal field journal. Take a photo of a plant, animal, insect, bird, spider, or fungus and receive AI-powered identification suggestions. Review and correct the suggested name, scientific name, and category before saving your observation. Build your own nature journal: • Capture photos or choose them from your library • Receive up to three possible identification suggestions • Correct AI results before or after saving • Add personal notes to each observation • Organize discoveries in your personal Field Guide • View observations on a nature map • Choose whether to save an approximate location • Hide locations completely for sensitive observations • Use the app in English or Simplified Chinese Your observations, notes, photos, and saved locations remain on your device. Exact coordinates are never stored with observations, and observation locations are not sent to the AI identification service. AI identification can make mistakes. Little Wild is designed to support curiosity and learning, not to determine whether a species is edible, poisonous, or safe to touch. Always keep a respectful distance from wildlife. Step outside, look closely, and begin your own Little Wild.
