Australian Reptiles and Frogs app for iPhone and iPad

Whether you are a keen herpetologist or just have a passing interest in Australias diverse reptile and amphibian fauna, this field guide will be a useful addition to your mobile device.

Almost all species descriptions include several identification photos. The descriptions also include distribution maps. Along with information about distinguishing features, details of size, habitat preferences, diet and other details, this information provides an increasingly effective means of identifying species that can be found in Australia.

To use the guide, drill down though the species groups to find a group that you think is likely to contain the species you have observed. Then you can tap the magnifying glass button to see all identification images for species in the chosen group. You can refine the filter via the filter tab, selecting only those species that have the chosen colours. The required accuracy of the colour filter can be adjusted to refine or broaden the number of species that match your search. For groups with size data, you can also filter based upon size estimates.

Once you find an image that matches, view the description details for that species to confirm the identification.
