My wife and I both love nature and have always wanted a Pokémon go style app, to collect and learn about different species we find.
All the usual species identifying apps were didn’t feel fun enough, so we designed and built one together!
Would love for you guys to give it a try and share any thoughts you have.
Otherwise looks fun!
Unfortunately inference costs means we needed something (ads) to keep the servers online.
Out of curiosity what would you say is a fair price for this?
Seek is free and good so if I’m paying for the fun aspect I would probably cap out around $20
Edit: might even be able to pull off like $10/yr but I’m increasingly tired of those as well
I could easily see someone be foolish enough to go up to predators
Even though we warn users in the onboarding to take care in the wild, TikTok and similar platforms have shown people acting foolishly is not something you can fully control
So hopefully people will get the memo immediately!
As per apple guidelines you can request us not to track and the app of course respects that.
The location data is used only for helping us narrow down the collection species!
Inaturalist uses second opinions what's your solution?
Edit: cool idea for the app btw, I always call inaturalist my Pokémon deck already so I think it's a nice new angle :)
It's all porn. Sigh, I hate this world. I really do feel like 2020 was the timeline alternating enigma event and we can never go back

It doesn’t feel like you’re playing when you use it, it feels like you’re in biology class (no hate to them).
Wildex gives you cute fun facts and lets you build up points for rare species finds. It feels like a completely different experience.

That's a feature, not a bug. Gamifying nature is a bad idea. It's tourism, but with the worst kind of tourists.

I don't know about that. We are with so many people now and there is so little nature left. The Pokemon 'Go' craze showed what happens when you set gamification and outdoors on the same track. It just doesn't scale in the same way that virtual things do.
