About Bug Journal

Bug Journal is a virtual bug collection. You will be able to take pictures and record field notes. Date and location are automatically stored with the photo. Sort the journal by date, name or species.

Any journal entry can be exported as a printed report or air-dropped to another iPhone. Reports were made with school projects in mind!

Bug Journal has an interactive identification tool built in. Simply answer a couple questions about the bug and the app will narrow down the possibilities. You will also be able to look up the various bugs for more information.

If you are interested in the latest news about bugs, there are 5 news feeds you can look at.
