Nature Notes
Free AppAbout Nature Notes
Nature Notes is for recording GPS referenced sightings of British flora and fauna whilst in the field, using Ordnance Survey grid references.
It contains a full list of plant, bird, mammal, reptile, amphibian, butterfly, dragonfly and moth species. Species can be found and located by searching for either common or formal latin names (using 3 or more letters).
Records can be exported into a spreadsheet for later import into Recorder or GIS software on your PC.
It includes a moving Ordnance Survey map (sourced from OpenData, downloadable for offline use) for recording species away from the current location. If you have purchased 1:25k OS 10km map tiles these can also be used after some processing (please email for instructions).
It also supports GPS track recording, and additional fields for appropriate species - eg life stage for amphibians and DAFOR for plants.
We are negotiating to obtain the complete UK flora and fauna (including bryophytes, fungi, insects etc) but this is not yet available.
Integration with iRecord is also in development.

What's Changed
2.4.0
Added an Import function (Main menu). This is useful if you are re-surveying a site and want to know what you have recorded previously. The import file should be in the same format as the export (CSV). Save the file to be imported to the SD card, eg in the NatureNotes/records folder, and select it when prompted.
Added a toggle to the main screen to swap between showing the latest and the nearest records.
Also a few modifications to 'More Info' - eg Life Stage for amphibians.

Been using this app for a couple of years now and it's great. When I first loaded it on my new phone, it didn't work, but after problems with another app, I found an issue with LastPass, which they now seem to have fixed!
