Seek will ask permission to turn on location services, but your location is obscured to respect your privacy while still allowing species suggestions from your general area. Your precise location is never stored in the app or sent to iNaturalist unless you sign in to your iNaturalist account and submit your observations.

Our image recognition technology is based on observations submitted to iNaturalist.org and partner sites, and identified by the iNaturalist community.

A little here and there

Hello I am alr happy it’s not a scam:) eh so I suggest that you can add observations like for real. Eg you saw a squirrel and have a box to type down ur observation. But besides that , it’s pretty good :))))))

Cool app

Images all gone

Emma Darwin on

Although I am not using the app to store my pictures per se, I was dismayed to find the observations I uploaded all gone when I cleared my gallery.

Could be better

Or rather...Maybe we're just not there yet. User this in the Botanical Gardens. Lighting was good, camera could focus really close. On a good day I'd get 2/10 recognitions. The App also doesn't let you export your findings/history. Since no profile of s created, Everything was gone when I had to change my phone. All my collections from my trips overseas all gone.

Doesn’t work well

Megamadone on

The concept sounds really cool. I was browsing thru instagram and got excited to hear from a friend’s post that there’s such an app for nature lovers, and downloaded it immediately. And as there’s many green areas around me, I wanted to take a walk around some of the nature reserves and explore what species of animals and plants they hold. But alas. The app wasn’t able to accurately identify what I saw, nor let me log the new pictures under the right categories. The app has an “achievement”-like feature which gives you points for discovering new flora and fauna. But as mentioned before, it does not let me log new pictures as it either says that the picture is not clear (which is not true), or that it is unsure of the species (while I was 100% sure of what exactly the plant/insect/bird/animal was. Ironically, if I submitted a screenshot of the animal/plan I saw in the app, and multiples of the same screenshots, the app gives me those points! So yup, I do hope that these improvements are put in place to make it more user-friendly
