ZooTrack for Android

Discover Zoos with ZooTrack — a full overview

ZooTrack is a mobile app built for people who enjoy visiting zoos and learning about animals. It helps you keep a personal log of which animals and exhibits you've seen, find species you haven't encountered yet, and reflect on each visit. The app is free to use and connects a variety of tools — maps, species data, and social features — to make zoo trips more informative and fun.

What the app offers

• Personal visit logs so you can record animals, notes, and photos from each trip.
• A species reference backed by GBIF data to help you identify and learn about animals.
• An interactive map to explore zoo layouts and locate exhibits during visits.
• Social features that let users add or update information about zoos and species.
• Gamified elements like badges and leaderboards to motivate repeat visits and discovery.
• Regular updates that aim to grow the database and introduce new capabilities.

How the community contributes

ZooTrack encourages collaboration between users to keep information current and useful. Visitors can submit corrections, add new species observations, and flag changes at zoos. These contributions help everyone: casual visitors get richer content, while frequent users build a more complete record of wildlife in captivity.

Getting started in three steps

1. Download the app and create a profile.
2. Use the map to mark exhibits and log animals as you encounter them.
3. Browse the species database to learn about animals you’ve seen and compare your progress with others.

Who benefits from using ZooTrack

• Casual zoo visitors looking to remember and organize their trips.
• Families and educators seeking a simple way to add educational value to outings.
• Dedicated zoo-goers and wildlife enthusiasts who want to track long-term sightings and contribute to a shared database.

Looking ahead

The developers are continuing to expand ZooTrack’s features and the underlying species database. Future updates are expected to improve accuracy, add more interactive tools, and widen the community-driven content, making the app increasingly valuable to anyone who visits zoos.
