After a year of working on Frog Spot, the frog call identifier is now also on Android!

I’ve been working on an app called Frog Spot over the past year to identify frogs by their calls. It started as a personal project, and I’ve been building it out in my free time.

You can record a frog and get an identification in seconds, along with a spectrogram and additional information about the species. I recently added a heat map showing where frogs are likely to be calling based on hourly weather data.

It originally launched on iOS, and I just released it on Android as well.

Right now, it’s focused on species in the United States, and I’m working on expanding it to places like the UK and other regions as I build out more data.

I’m continuing to improve the accuracy, expand species and regions, and add new features over time. The goal is to make something genuinely useful for people who are out listening to frogs and trying to understand what they’re hearing.

There’s a free trial to try out the app, and after that, it’s supported through a subscription or one-time purchase to help cover ongoing development and server costs.

If anyone here spends time listening for frogs or recording calls, I’d be interested to hear what you think, as I continue to improve and refine the app.

If you're interested, please give it a try!
