Now on Google Play • The Wildlife Prediction Engine
Know where to look next.
Opspoor turns wildlife sightings into movement intelligence, helping you understand where animals are likely heading — and which opportunity is worth following.
Available now on Google Play — free to start, no signal required. iOS coming soon.
THE OPSPOOR DIFFERENCE
See where it’s heading, not just where it was.
A sighting pin tells you where an animal was. Opspoor looks at recency, movement, timing and surrounding activity to identify developing wildlife opportunities — and help you decide where to go next.
Positioning guidance
A read on where to position yourself, built from movement, recency, behaviour, and weather signals already running in opspoor's scoring engine.
Confidence-scored forecasts
Every prediction carries a score built from real sighting volume and consistency — so you can tell a strong, repeated pattern from an early guess, not just a black-box call.
Activity timeline
A look at how a hotspot has developed over time, and where the pattern says it's heading next.
Predictions, checked against reality
We don’t just make predictions. We check them.
Every “Go Now” alert opspoor issues is tracked against what trackers actually find nearby afterwards — automatically, transparently, and in the real world.

How opspoor works
A sighting feed you can actually trust.
Every report runs through a community verification loop before it counts — so “verified” on opspoor actually means something.
Log it in seconds
Pin the animal's exact position separately from your own, add species, behaviour, group size, and direction of travel — opspoor auto-calculates the bearing for you. Works with zero signal.
The community verifies it
New sightings land in "Help Confirm" until other trackers nearby confirm them. No anonymous noise, no stale pins — just sightings real people have actually seen.
You get the read
Verified sightings feed live into the map and heatmap, and into opspoor’s movement-prediction engine — turning one report into a shared read on where the wild is moving, while everyone outside the app is still working off rumours.
Built different
Everything a tracking app should have — and a few things you won’t find elsewhere.
A clean, verified sighting feed is the foundation. The trackers who read it best are the ones using everything opspoor builds on top of it.
Predictive movement heatmaps
See live activity hotspots and directional movement arrows on the map — not just where animals were seen, but where the pattern says they're heading. Premium also shows a live "may have moved here" radius around every sighting, so a report from an hour ago still points you to where the animal likely is now.
Verified vs. unverified, always labelled
Every sighting shows its confidence and validation state clearly. Help confirm new reports, or trust the ones the community already has.
Precision sightings, built for the field
Observer and animal positions logged separately, with auto-calculated bearing, traffic level, and behaviour — detail generic map-pin apps don't capture.
Works with zero signal
Log sightings, browse the feed, and check the map fully offline. Everything queues locally and syncs the moment you're back in range.
Smart alerts, not all-or-nothing
Get notified on hot sightings nearby, confirmations on your reports, and activity from people you follow — toggle each type on or off, instead of one blunt switch for everything.
Camps & facilities on the map
Jump straight to gates, camps and key safety points inside any park, filtered from the noise of a general map. Premium adds lodges, waterholes, lookouts, hides and every other facility on site.
New · Photography Mode
While you’re checking a weather app, other trackers already know this week’s best light.
Flip one switch and opspoor reframes itself around the shot, not just the sighting — the map, dashboard, and every species page start working for your camera. It’s the same verified, predictive engine the rest of opspoor runs on, just pointed at light instead of just location.
See the light before you shoot
A live sun-position ray on the map, colour-coded backlit vs. front-lit — so you know how to position yourself before you've even parked.
Never miss golden hour again
A live countdown to golden and blue hour, plus a moon-phase card that tells you when it's actually worth setting up for astrophotography.
Plan the whole trip around the light
A 7-day, per-species forecast of your best shooting days — so you know which morning to be at the waterhole, not just which one already passed.
