Whether you’re a bird spotter, car enthusiast, or any other kind of spotter or tracker, you’ll definitely want to check out WhatWhereWhen for iPhone and iPad as it provides just about everything you need to record sighting with custom notes and loads of other handy features.

The best iPhone and iPad apps for bird watching

Although I’m definitely a nature enthusiast I’ve never really been one for making notes or recording anything beyond taking a few amateur photographs, but I can definitely see how this app is a very powerful utility for spotters and trackers around the world.

Easily Log Your Nature Sightings

This is a very nicely developed app that has been designed to make it quick and easy for people like plane spotters, animal trackers, and nature enthusiasts in general to record the time, location, and objects that you’ve observed.

What’s more, you can also add your own photos and add custom notes that can then be edited at a later date or in more detail once you’re back in the comfort and convenience of your home.

 

Back Up Your Records via Wi-Fi

WhatWhereWhen also provides automatic completion of various fields based on your previously entered data so that you can more rapidly and easily enter information on future occurrences. This should definitely help you to save time when you’re out in the field.

You’ll also be pleased to know that you can very easily create a handy digital backup copy of your records via Wi-Fi transfer or the app’s own backup/recovery feature. Again, this means that you can more easily edit or add to your notes when you get home.
