I would love for someone to make a birding/citizen scientist app that's well gamified. This is basically pokemon. You go places and find different creatures and collect them.
- sodimel 1y agoI had the same idea a few years ago. Would be really great.
- have_faith 1y agoiNaturalist is great for logging observations (their iNat Next app is their new one). They also have an app called Seek that I think is more aimed at kids, but it comes with trophies and streaks and stuff like that.
- yaky 1y agoSeek is impressive just for the sheer number of completely different things it could identify, from mosses to animals. I used it to find native and invasive plants in my garden.

- uniq7 1y agoI would love to play that game, and the data could maybe be useful for researchers. On the other hand, people playing Pokemon GO trespassed private property and protected spaces, so I wonder how far would the players of this game go just to make a pic of a "legendary" animal at the border of extinction.
