Find out what wildlife has been reported near you before you head out. WildMap brings community observations from sources including iNaturalist and eBird into one map, alongside a species Field Guide and your personal wildlife collection. FREE TO START Create a free account to run scans up to 100 km from a chosen location, search observations from the past 7 days, and save up to 25 animals to your bucket list. Browse the Field Guide and record unlimited species as Seen. Basic Seen logging has no subscription requirement. PLAN YOUR NEXT OUTING Explore recent reports around your current location, a park or a destination you want to visit. Filter scans by animal group and check when observations were recorded. A sighting records a past observation; it does not guarantee the animal is still there. BUILD YOUR WILDLIFE RECORD Use your bucket list for animals you hope to find, and mark animals you have encountered as Seen. Your Seen log is unlimited on the free plan. OPTIONAL WILDMAP PRO Pro expands scans to 200 km and observations from the past 30 days, adds advanced map filters by rarity, species or bucket list, and removes the 25-animal bucket-list limit. Subscriptions and a one-time lifetime purchase are available in the app. Check the purchase screen for current pricing and terms. WildMap is made by a wildlife photographer and overlander to make planning wildlife outings easier. Terms of use: https://www.thewildmap.org/terms Privacy policy: https://www.thewildmap.org/privacy

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.
