About this app

Ever wondered what that beautiful flower is called, which bird is singing nearby, or what kind of curious creature you just discovered? Nature ID - Plant Identifier is your all-in-one companion for exploring plants, animals and the natural world.

With an extensive database covering over 40,000 plant and animal species, Nature ID helps you identify and learn about wildlife found in your garden, on a hike, at a park or anywhere your adventures take you.

IDENTIFY PLANTS AND ANIMALS

Take a photo or choose one from your gallery. Nature ID analyzes the image and shows possible matches with common names, scientific names, species types and confidence scores.

Use Nature ID as a plant identifier, flower identifier, tree identifier, animal identifier, insect identifier, fungi identifier, bird identifier and general nature scanner.

From delicate wildflowers and majestic trees to butterflies, mammals, reptiles and other fascinating creatures, species discovery is only a photo away.

IDENTIFY BIRDS BY SOUND

Hear a bird but cannot see it? Record the bird call or choose an audio file. Select the clearest part of the recording and let Nature ID analyze it in short segments.

Review possible bird matches, compare confidence scores, replay individual sound segments and explore information about the most likely bird species.

EXPLORE NATURE NEAR YOU

Use your location to discover species observed nearby. Nature ID combines nearby nature records, weather and local outdoor places to help you plan your next exploration.

Discover nearby species, observation locations, parks and green spaces. Open recorded locations in Google Maps to get directions.

ASK NATURE AI

Nature AI uses nearby species, current weather and local places to create a personalized exploration guide. Get ideas about where to go, what you may encounter and how outdoor conditions could affect your trip.

SEARCH AND LEARN

Search by common name or scientific name. Filter results by biological groups such as plants, animals, birds, fungi, insects, protozoa and chromista.

Available species details may include:

• Common and scientific names

BUILD YOUR COLLECTIONS

Create personal collections for garden plants, local birds, flowers, insects, hiking discoveries or any theme you choose.

Save different observations of the same species when they come from different photos or sound recordings. Source badges show whether a discovery came from image identification, bird sound detection or search.

Completely inaccurate and baited ads. The ads are placed where if you're not paying attention, you will be spending money for upgrades or different apps... Ads are whatever.. but the actual identification is completely inaccurate. My cats brought in some kind of baby mole or shrew or something and the app identified it as a sea cucumber or slug....

Please try taking clearer pictures. Photos you take in low light or with insufficient information will even make it difficult for even animal experts to identify them. If the results are better, please rate my application 5 stars. Many thanks for your rating.

I download this because of high ratings. When I started this app it showed me to upgrade and I thought of upgrading but for a second I thought of giving a try. So, I clicked a photo of ZZ Plant which is very common but surprisingly this app couldn't showed me the correct result. I guess ratings are fake.

I so regret purchasing this app. the camera does work. you can't search plants. you can favorite or add to your collection. it's a quite useless app.
