About this app

Wildside — Discover the Wild Side of Your Neighborhood

See what animals have actually been spotted around you. Wildside plots real
wildlife observations on a live map that opens on your location and scrolls and
searches anywhere in the world. Tap any sighting to see the species, a photo,
and when it was seen.

Every pin is a real observation contributed by naturalists and birders and
pulled from trusted public biodiversity databases — not made up, not guessed.

FREE — THE LIVE MAP
• Opens centered on you, then pan and zoom anywhere
• Search any place by name to see its sightings
• Clustered pins keep dense areas readable
• Tap a sighting for species name, photo, date, and source
• Filter by a taxonomic group: birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish,
insects, plants, fungi, and more

WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM
• iNaturalist — millions of photographed, community-verified observations
• GBIF — the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, aggregating eBird, museum
records, and more
• Acartia — Salish Sea marine-mammal sightings (orcas and whales)

WILDSIDE PRO — ONE-TIME UNLOCK
Upgrade once to power up the map:
• Predator & Raptor filters — surface carnivores, hawks, owls, and large mammals
• Hide common species — cut the squirrels and pigeons so rarities stand out
• Combine taxonomic groups — stack birds + mammals + reptiles in one view

No ads. No subscriptions. No accounts. One optional one-time purchase.

A FIELD COMPANION
Wildside is great for birders, hikers, hunters, naturalists, students, and
anyone curious about the animals sharing their corner of the world. Heading
somewhere new? Search it first and see what's been spotted there.

A NOTE ON SENSITIVE SPECIES
Some observations of rare or sensitive species are shown with generalized
locations to help protect them from disturbance.

Wildside is an independent app and is not affiliated with iNaturalist, GBIF,
Acartia, or any data provider. Observations remain under their contributors'
licenses.
