Wildcard Dex

Gamified Nature Discovery

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Turn every walk, hike, park visit, and backyard moment into a nature discovery game. Wildcard Dex is a wildlife identification app built for people who want to notice more outside. Snap or upload a photo to identify animals, plants, fungi, insects, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and more, then save each find as a collectible species card in your personal Dex. Use it as a playful field guide for wildlife identification, plant identification, birding, insect ID, mushroom spotting, and everyday nature journaling. IDENTIFY WHAT YOU FOUND Use AI-assisted photo identification to get a likely species, confidence, useful facts, and taxonomy details. Wildcard Dex helps turn quick nature photos into a field guide you build yourself. BUILD YOUR SPECIES COLLECTION Every sighting becomes part of your Dex. Revisit photos, organize finds, track rarity, and see your wildlife journal grow from common backyard species to surprising trail discoveries. EXPLORE WITH QUESTS AND PROGRESS Outdoor quests, weekly goals, XP, levels, badges, and trophies make nature observation feel like a game. Look for birds, insects, wildflowers, mushrooms, mammals, and other life around you. LEARN WITH ASK DEX Ask questions about species, habitats, behavior, identification clues, and the nature you find. Use it as a friendly field companion when curiosity strikes. MAP YOUR DISCOVERIES Save sightings with optional location, revisit places you have explored, and use your map to plan the next walk, hike, park visit, or backyard search. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Add friends, compare progress, share codes, climb the leaderboard, and trade species cards collected from your own outdoor discoveries. Great for families, hikers, gardeners, birders, students, nature photographers, and anyone looking for a more playful way to learn about biodiversity. Wildcard Dex is for discovery, learning, and outdoor fun. Identification results are for learning, not safety or foraging decisions. Always observe wildlife safely, respect private property, and follow local rules.
