You can use the iNaturalist app to snap a picture of your observations of the natural world and then share them with an online community of nature lovers at iNaturalist.org. You can use this app as a sort of mobile field notebook to help you keep track of the animals and plants you see in your community. Record the things you see as you hike around the countryside, take a walk around your neighborhood, visit a city park, or in your own backyard. Then, you can get help identifying the things you have photographed by syncing them with the iNaturalist online community.
To use this app, in the Observations section you should tap "Add" to record something you see. Then tap the camera icon to take a picture. You can add a species name and notes on your observation. Once you've added some observations, tap "Sync" to send them to iNaturalist.org.
There are several other sections to the app including: Map, which shows you a map of your area; Projects, which contains a list of projects you can join; and Settings.
