Comments on ObsIdentify for Android

★★★★☆ Kenza Remmers · Jun 15, 2022
Came here to say pretty much exactly the same what Jip Berk elder said! I, too, would love the option to delete observations and connect/share observations with friends. Maybe even a possibility to do challenges together? Besides that, while taking a picture in the app it looks quite sharp, but after it has been taken (so before identification) it suddenly gets (a lot) more unsharp. Those things aside, loving the app and how it is gamified with badges and challenges!
★★★★☆ Ruth Leary · Aug 7, 2025
I love obs identify and often recommend it to people interested in nature. I wish that I could search my observations for keywords (eg "Elephant Hawk Moth", and it shows me all the times I've documented one), or even filter for all birds, for example. Perhaps we could filter by location seen, too. This app really makes nature accessible for people, I love the links to Wikipedia & the main website for more info. Even children can use this with support - easy to identify & log species, v. fun!
★★☆☆☆ Thomas Hirsch · Jul 17, 2023
Ok for common species, but no way to correct identifications or add a location to photos without exif data. Makes it much harder to use consistently than naturalist.
★☆☆☆☆ Kizzi Bennett · Apr 10, 2025
I need help. When I take a photo within the app I am able to upload it with a location. When I take a photo just on my normal camera and upload it though obs identify I am unable to upload it as it says I do not have a location for the photo
★☆☆☆☆ Louie Raines · Jul 9, 2026
Looked good, but first wouldn't allow upload of my photos as they weren't taken with a GPS tag, and no option to add the location manually, changed phone settings to take new photos with GPS tags, now app won't load any pictures from my phone at all... useless. Also kept asking for permissions when they'd already been allowed. Deleted.

Description by Observation International Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
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).
