About this app

{
"app_name": "India Tiger ID",
"short_description": "Offline tiger identification app for Indian reserves",
"full_description": "India Tiger ID helps you identify and learn about tigers across Indian tiger reserves. Search our database of 316 individual tigers by name, code, or region. Try our experimental 'identify by photo' feature to match tigers from your own pictures against our reference library.\n\nFeatures:\n• Browse 316 documented Indian tigers across all major reserves\n• Search by name, code, sex, reserve, or region\n• View full tiger profiles with lineage, territory, and sources\n• Experimental photo-matching: upload a tiger photo to find similar matches\n• Fully offline — no internet connection needed after installation\n• 151 reference photos included (47.8% coverage)\n\nData sources:\nAll tiger records and reference photos sourced from wildlife research, forest department records, and publicly licensed imagery (Wikimedia Commons, news archives, wildlife blogs). Includes data from NTCA (National Tiger Conservation Authority) monitoring programs and published conservation research.\n\nNote: Photo-matching is a coarse visual-similarity heuristic, not a stripe-pattern recognition model. Use it to narrow down candidates, especially combined with reserve/region filters.\n\nAndroid-only v1. Built with Expo / React Native.",

What’s new

Every tiger reserve now has its own page: location, how to reach it, nearest airport and railhead, entry gates, and where to stay nearby — all offline. The reserve filter is now a searchable list covering all 58 reserves, not just the ones with named tigers. Refreshed interface throughout, plus fixes to tiger records reported during testing.
