Wildlife Tracker 1.5.0.0
For those who want to stay well prepared and have at their disposal a dependable resource of information and also a means of steering through remote areas, inhabited mostly by wild animals, a utility like Wildlife Tracker could come in very handy.
Well organized and nice looking front-end
The application offers a fair interface that has some beautiful backgrounds and well designed graphics from end to end. The organization of the content is also neatly done, with the main features upfront and the commands and menus easily reachable.
The images included inside the app are of very high quality, while the map navigation is fairly smooth. There are some delays in loading the pushpins for the selected places of interest, but this is to be expected especially when dealing with a large number of locations or sightings.
Detailed info about game reserves and wild animals
The utility enables you to check out the main wildlife parks in South Africa, namely Kruger and Pilanesberg National Parks, as well as Hluhluwe iMfolozi Game Reserve.
For each of them you can view the available gates, points of interest and camps, while for each of the contained locations you can get the exact coordinates and an approximate distance, along with a short description and operating hours (where available).
Insofar as the wildlife you may encounter in your trips, there is a well documented section inside this app that provides general as well as specific facts for carnivores and herbivores, with a special section for the "Big Five" game animals (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard).
Built-in alerts and notifications for sightings and more
Wildlife Tracker offers a neat system of staying up to date with the most recent animal sightings, so you can check out those places for yourself and in case you spot some fauna, you can add sightings of your own.
In case you notice some inappropriate behavior from other people, you can report this to a game ranger using the built-in functionality of this app.
