• Get outside and point the Seek Camera at living things

OPEN THE CAMERA AND START SEEKING!
Found a mushroom, flower, or bug, and not sure what it is? Open up the Seek Camera to see if it knows!
Drawing from millions of wildlife observations on iNaturalist, Seek shows you lists of commonly recorded insects, birds, plants, amphibians, and more in your area. Scan the environment with the Seek Camera to identify organisms using the tree of life. Add different species to your observations and learn all about them in the process! The more observations you make, the more badges you’ll earn!
This is a great app for families who want to spend more time exploring nature together, and for anyone who wants to learn more about the life all around them.
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Like Pokemon Go but for plants
Totally free, easy to use, lots of information including native and endangered levels, only thing is it can use a lot of battery quickly. The iNaturalist forum is great as well for bringing up problems or wanted features
Excellent App, just has an annoying pop up.
Great app, works incredibly well a lot of the time.
It is however annoying having the Remember safety warning pop up every time you go to take a photo. Would be more usable if it only appeared once per user or had an option to disable it in the settings. It’s not useful.
Thanks team overall great app!
Perfect plant ID pocket guide for field work
I use this app for field work in New Zealand. It’s helped me quickly and very accurately identify both native and introduced species and had been a fantastic learning tool for myself and my team.
