About this app

Recognize nature in one click! Take a photo in Europe or the Dutch Caribbean and find out which species it is. Collect all your wildlife observations in the app. You'll be rewarded with tips to find new species, earn badges, and be invited to join challenges. Create groups with colleagues, family or friends, to share your stunning nature observations. Your observations, and those of others, contribute to biological research and knowledge about nature. Every observation counts!

ObsIdentify only recognizes wild animals, plants and mushrooms in Europe and the Dutch Caribbean. Please do not use the app for selfies, people, pets, house or garden plants.

The image recognition in ObsIdentify is made possible by millions of observations from thousands of users of Waarneming.nl, Waarnemingen.be and Observation.org. ObsIdentify is a product of the Observation International Foundation, in collaboration with Naturalis Biodiversity Center (The Netherlands) and Natuurpunt (Belgium).

it's fast, easy and incredibly accurate. I love using this, it's like filling a pokedex! the only feature I'd like to see added is a more detailed filtering systen, so I can sort my observations by type of animal/plant, etc. otherwise, 10/10 for what it is supposed to do!

ProTip: turn location back on in the camera app settings every time you turn phone location on, otherwise you can't save ID. Took me way too long to figure that out. Best identification app I've seen yet (and I've tried many). Amazing at identifying. Gives info on the morphology, which is good when automatic ID is unclear. Gives information on the species. Absolutely love the app. Only downsides: - blurry pics when taken in-app - can't delete IDs, which is bad if you've wrongly ID'd something

Nice application, but it fails to get the location from the phone. It does access the location, because the icon is showing when using the application. After almost one year there is still no fix for this. So lost another ⭐ Thanks for the answer. But this issue is there already for a long time now. Maybe enable manually entering a location would simplify this and make it less frustrating

Beste Jeanine, dit probleem is ons bekend. Je kan experimenten via welke bron/app je de foto selecteert in ObsIdentify, via sommige wegen worden de locatiegegevens namelijk gestript in Android 11 en 12. Op die manier kun je ObsIdentify wel blijven gebruiken totdat wij een fix hebben uitgebracht. Excuses voor het ongemak! -Jolien
