KID-SAFE

Seek does not require registration and does not collect any user data by default. Some user data will be collected if you choose to sign in with an iNaturalist account, but you must be over 13 or have your parents permission to do so.

Seek will ask permission to turn on location services, but your location is obscured to respect your privacy while still allowing species suggestions from your general area. Your precise location is never stored in the app or sent to iNaturalist unless you sign in to your iNaturalist account and submit your observations.

Our image recognition technology is based on observations submitted to iNaturalist.org and partner sites, and identified by the iNaturalist community.

Seek is part of iNaturalist, a not-for-profit organization. Seek was made by the iNaturalist team with support from the California Academy of Sciences, the National Geographic Society, Our Planet on Netflix, WWF, HHMI Tangled Bank Studios, and Visipedia.

Seek by iNaturalist Pros

✓ Great but Why have you removed the map feature.Why have you removed the feature that allows you to locate species on the map that others had found?.PevenseetVersion: 2.12.17

✓ Excellent appAppstore won’t let me format an easy to read review, but I have tried my best. ***PROS***: 1.) Free, no Ads (donations likely main source of revenue) 2.) Identify Plants/Animals 3.) Participate in community events 4.) Catalog/record observations to app 5.) App contributes to human desire to understand and observe nature ***POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS***: 1.) Allow direct download of observations from app 2.) Display “safety pop-up” upon opening the app, not when accessing camera (allows for faster capture of observations) 3.) Add option to toggle phone flashlight while using camera 4.) Allow additional features that are only available to registered users to non-users. Mining personal data should not be required for some of the features that are withheld from non-registered users. ***Additional improvement***: (no clue how viable this is): Optional download of data relating to local wildlife (user location would be required) to the users device. Allowing for the device’s hardware to mitigate the need for a strong internet connection..GunSlingerNowVersion: 2.14.7

Seek by iNaturalist Cons

✗ It sucksIt takes everything from Wikipedia and told me the a prickly bush was a rose.Bob123123456456Version: 2.15.0

✗ This used to be more useful to meI actually love this app and have been using it for many years, I find it more user friendly than inaturalist, bc I don’t necessarily want to share all my observations or my location. Plus, Seek is just more fun. What I’ve found in the past 6 months or so are 3 problems. 1. The app doesn’t arrive at identifications as much as it used to. It gets to one step away, regardless of the angle of the photo, making it extremely frustrating to use. This is especially so for tiny insects. 2. I used to be able to get identification from pictures I took with my native camera, and it seems that they are never identified anymore. This actually used to be my back up method when Seek wouldn’t ID something. Now it doesn’t seem to work at all anymore. 3. There’s no way to disagree with a misidentification. There are things I know are not correctly identified, but no way to correct it. If I wrote this a year ago, I would have given it more stars, but I’m frustrated. That said, I still use it almost daily..GrungygirlVersion: 2.14.12
