SpotIt Parks
Free offline wildlife logbook for 43 national parks

SpotIt Parks is a free mobile app that turns a game drive or a walk into your
own wildlife logbook. You see an animal, you tap it, and the app saves what you
saw, where you saw it and when. Your trip builds into a map of everything you
found.

It works completely offline. The park map, the full species checklist, the
camps, gates and waterholes are all downloaded before you go, so the app keeps
working where there is no signal at all.

What SpotIt Parks does

  • Log every sighting with one tap, saved with its exact GPS position and time

  • Works fully offline, with no mobile signal needed anywhere in the park

  • A searchable species checklist for each park, from the Big Five to the small things most people drive past

  • A built in field guide for every animal: size, diet, habitat, when it is active, where to look, and how to tell lookalike species apart

  • Live community sightings from other visitors nearby, whenever you do have signal

  • Daily games for the drive: Safari Bingo, Colour Match and the Name Game

  • Collections and awards to complete, such as the Big Five, cats and predators

  • An exploration map that fills in the parts of the park you have covered

  • Park information at hand: rest camps, gates, waterholes and picnic sites

  • Drive Mode for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can log a sighting from the car screen without touching your phone

  • Export your sightings to iNaturalist, eBird or GBIF in Darwin Core format

  • No account, no sign up, and no cost
