About this app

The world is full of creatures waiting to be caught. Gotcha turns every walk, hike, and backyard into a real-life collection game.

See an animal, bird, or bug? Snap a photo. Gotcha cuts the creature out, identifies the species, and adds it to your personal index. The ones you have caught fill in as colorful stickers. The ones you have not wait as silhouettes, ready to be discovered.

It is part identifier, part treasure hunt. With 900+ species to find across six rarity tiers, there is always something new just outside your door.

CATCH ANYTHING THAT MOVES
- Snap any animal, bird, or insect and get an instant identification
- Watch the creature get cut cleanly out of your photo, right on your device
- Match it to its entry and watch the silhouette light up

BUILD YOUR INDEX
- Collect 900+ real species into one clean, growing index
- Chase the rarities, from common all the way to legendary and secret
- See at a glance what you have caught and what is still out there
- Catch a species again and your best photo becomes its sticker

SHOW IT OFF
- Browse everything you have collected as a gallery of stickers
- Share your rarest finds with friends

WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT
- Clean, native design
- Your collection lives on your device
- No catalogs to memorize, just point, snap, and collect

I got recommended this app not long ago by a friend and I must say, the concept is just amazing. Of course it has its flaws, but it just came out, so I'm expecting it to get better with time. As a bit of constructive criticism, I think it would be neat to have the option to permanently turn on your phone's torch instead of having to use the flash, so you don't have to hold a flashlight alongside your phone to catch critters at night. Also, to adjust the camera's focus. Keep up the great work!

Thanks so much for the 4 stars and the thoughtful feedback! We really appreciate ideas like a torch option and camera focus controls. We will keep them in mind as we plan future updates. Thanks for supporting us in the journey! Kyan from Gotcha

Really loving this app so far, it's really creative and fun. I've already made my family start using it and have recommended it to friends. There are a few quality of life changes needed though - the 'Adjust Cutout' button seems to crash the app everytime I attempt to use it and doesn't work. But ultimately it's a great idea and I am considering buying a premium subscription if it continues to head in the right way! 🙂

Thanks so much for the 4 stars and for recommending Gotcha! We are sorry that "Adjust Cutout" crashes the app. This should be fixed in the latest update, but if it still happens, please contact us at gotcha-support@catchy.fan so we can look into it. Kyan from Gotcha

It's a cool concept, but as an animal photographer, why can't I log the animals I've already photographed? Makes it basically completely useless for me. I dont wanna fiddle with my phone for a log when I have my camera with a telephoto lens instead.

Thanks for the honest feedback! We understand why photo uploads would be useful for a wildlife photographer. Unfortunately, they would also make cheating much easier, so it’s not a feature we’re planning right now. We’d love to improve, what could we add to make Gotcha more useful for you? ~ Kyan from Gotcha
