- ...and that is definitely more than with other field guide apps. And if it's not enough for you, download arbitrary number of datasets for the price of just one drink.
- You can also easily use photos as a background or contacts image (ever thought of your brother as a slow loris?)
- Use any animal sound as a ring tone, with just a few clicks!
- All the content is based on various free sources such as Wikipedia, Encyclopedia of Life, ITIS, or Xenocanto, and mixed together to provide you a fast and practical experience.

I enjoy the information and the broad range of information. I appreciate that the data can be selected for size - either text or text with images.
Great info a little bit more work on search and I think it is there
Can only download fungi
Works well once media downloaded. Would like to save space by putting on sd card but won't go.
It is not accurate at all! A few things, it uses very outdated names, pictures may not accurately represent taxa, and the number of species available is rediculously small.
I found this app super entertaining when I needed something to do in A lazy afternoon. But apparently lots of the names and discripsions are Out of date! But what do I know? This app is great if you don't know anything about animals! Thanks for saving my Saturday's!😉
Why no one have done it before so good!
So f***ing outdated! I suggest to never get this app!
6would be nice to list more details of the butterflies host plants
A cool app. However? it would be great to see more insect group datasets such as dragonflies etc
It is good for me so I can be a herpetologist
Detailed information. Only limited upto 2country
Superb information all in one application.
Excellent app. Thanks Honza:)
Insect please?
Awesome and more awesome
I love the idea & design but I haven't been able to download or see any data. I hope it's a problem from my end.
Excellent for those of us that need wi-fi to access the net. Kudos for your hard work. Would really be great if we could use external memory in latest iterations of android io. Bird sounds in memory would also be useful.
Most convinient in free identifiers/catalogues for non-prof!
Would be FIVE STARS IF THEY FIX EXTERNAL STORAGE FOR MARSHMALLOW!!! I LOVE this app and I have a ton of space on my SD card, but even though I choose external storage it still puts it in internal storage and won't let me move it! Therefore I can only download the data files!
Be nice if it was completely free, but it's a good app.
Great catch-all
Handy and diverse
Very useful and informative
This app is a great concept, but it's just a compendium of lists with associated images. My biggest issue is that the images are not even associated with the list's region and so does not account for localized variations within species. Anyways, this is basically just a nice way to look at Wikipedia lists through an app with a good user interface.
As a photographer i found it very informative, so much data packed, kudos to the team
Learning more on this site
The best application of this kind I've ever used! I would like to have flora version of this. As a tree-hugger I would love to know what tree I hug most often.
An excellent program allowing a great number of field guides to be assembled in an easy to carry form. The data can be placed in external memory.
I have just bought the app. It seems to be good. I am currently downloading data. I see that the last update was in 2017. Is there any thought for a new update soon? I can't find an option to download all data and media at once, so I have to download them one by one. I think that it could be possiible to choose all or some data depending on the capacity of the phone's memory.
