Critter Finder lets you photograph any creature you find — bug, bird, reptile, mammal, or beast — and AI instantly names it, tells its story, and adds it to your personal Critter-Dex. Think Pokémon GO meets a field guide. Earn points by rarity, unlock badges, level up, see your finds on a map, and explore a community feed of what others have discovered.
When you capture a critter, the photo is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic's Claude Vision), which returns a suggested identification — common and scientific name, category, rarity, a short description, a fun fact, and a venomous-or-not flag. It's a suggestion you confirm or edit before saving.
No — treat it as a helpful guess, not an authority. You can edit any field before adding a sighting to your Dex. Never rely on the app to decide whether an animal is dangerous or venomous. Keep a safe distance from wildlife and don't handle creatures you can't positively identify yourself.
Camera lets you photograph critters to identify them. Photos let you pick an existing picture instead, and optionally save finds back to your library. Location tags where you made each find so it appears on your map.
Location is optional — decline it and the app still works; your sightings just won't be placed on the map. You can change any of these in iOS Settings at any time.
Mark any sighting as private to keep it out of the community feed, map, and other users' views. You can also set your whole profile to private so it isn't publicly browsable. Private sightings don't share their location.
Yes. Open the sighting to edit its details or remove it from your Dex. To remove everything at once, see Manage / delete your account below.
Each find is scored by rarity (Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Legendary), and points roll up into levels. Badges unlock as you hit milestones — your first find, collecting across categories, and more. Public users are ranked on the leaderboard by total points.

Delete your account and data
To permanently delete your Critter Finder account and associated data — profile, photos, sightings, and location data — email eprosenhan@gmail.com with the subject “Account deletion request” from your account email (or include your account email and username). We'll verify and complete the deletion, typically within 30 days. Note: deleting the app from your phone does not delete your account from our servers.
You can update your profile, change a sighting's privacy, and manage your content directly in the app. If an in-app delete-account option is available in your version, you can use that as well.
