Fur Spotter: spot real animals camera game
Fur Spotter opens on Park Spot: a sunny park where cats, dogs and birds peek out of windows, over the fence, from the bushes and the big tree. Tap each one before it hides; quick spots and the day's star animal score more, and 30 seconds is all it takes. Everyone gets the same park each day. Fur Spotter turns everyday walks into a collection game. Point your phone's camera at a real cat, dog or bird and an on-device recogniser identifies it, reads its coat or plumage colour and stamps the time of day. Each sighting fills a slot in your field album, with rarity, badges, a daily quest and a streak. Photos, the album and the optional rough location stay on your phone: nothing is uploaded.
How to play Fur Spotter
- Tap Start camera and point it at a cat, dog or bird you meet (or pick a photo from your gallery).
- When a dashed box appears around the animal, tap Spot it.
- Fur Spotter reads the animal's colour and the time of day and adds a sighting card to your album.
- Fill every colour slot on the Cats, Dogs and Birds pages and collect badges.
- Spot at least one animal a day to keep your streak; complete the daily quest.
Controls
Phone and tablet: Use the back camera: hold the animal in the frame until the dashed box appears, then tap Spot it.
Desktop, laptop and Chromebook: Use a webcam or choose a photo file; the same recogniser runs in your browser.
Fur Spotter tips and strategy
- Get close enough that the animal fills about a third of the frame.
- Night sightings (after 9 pm) rank one rarity higher.
- Patched (two-colour) cats and dogs are rare: look for tuxedo, calico and piebald coats.
- No animal around? Tag a past photo yourself; it gets a ✍️ stamp.

Fur Spotter FAQ
Is Fur Spotter free?
Yes. The camera recogniser, the Cats, Dogs and Birds albums, badges, quests and streaks are free, with no ads and no sign-up.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Recognition runs on your device and the album is stored in your browser. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.
Does it track my location?
No. Location is off unless you switch it on, and then only a rough position (about 11 km) is kept, on your phone only.
Which animals does it recognise?
Cats, dogs and birds in the free albums; the Fun Pass adds horses, sheep, cows, bears, elephants, zebras and giraffes.
Does it work offline?
After the first load, the albums and cards work offline; the recogniser needs your browser's cached copy from the first use.
How much is the Fur Spotter Explorer Pack?
$2.99 once, no subscription: it adds the Farm album (horses, sheep, cows), the Wild & zoo album (bears, elephants, zebras, giraffes) and the Gold, Film and Holo card frames, for good, and your receipt code works on any device.
