The Frogs of North West NSW are colourful, loud and often display very unusual habits. Frogs however are under threat from Chytrid Fungus, habitat loss and other pressures. Frog Croaker is an interactive reference tool which helps the user learn about these wonderful creatures.
What does it do?
Frog Croaker catalogues all 29 species of frogs in North west NSW. The geo-location technology simplifies identification by locating the user in the catchment then matching that location with the home range of different frog species.
Frogs often respond to the call of their own species. By clicking on the call button, the unique frog call is sounded to the frog and if it replies it helps identify which species of frog you have found.
Information about each Frog comes with high resolution images with capacity to zoom into all identifying features.

Very cool app

Sounds great and loves how it gives the frogs information, will be using this app to try and attract frogs, wish it had more types of frogs but it does list some good ones
Really good.

It has a lot of good frog calls. But the problem is this app doesn't have any frog calls in my area. It's still good to listen to frog calls I never have heard of. Really good app.
