App summary

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).

Such a cool app. Now I can actually see what bug it is instead of staring at it and just wondering what it is. And you're telling me I'm able to help a good cause along with it? This is amazing! However, it would be even better if you were able to make multiple pictures before having to identify an organism. Not all animals stay in one place for a long time, so having to load extra menus before you're able to make another picture can be annoying at times.

It's a great app. Very accurate, and lets you verify the result yourself. Team quickly responded to my question. Sincerely recommended.

Makes some bizarre mistakes but easy to use and educational. Awards silly badges which can be ignored.
