Why Wildlife Biologists & Field Researchers Choose SnapCount

Purpose-built features for wildlife research professionals

Synchronized Transect Surveys

Coordinate simultaneous counts across parallel transects. Ensure every member of the survey party maintains a unified, single source of truth for all observed events, eliminating reconciliation headaches.

Weatherproof Data Capture

Your data lives securely in the cloud the moment it is entered. Forget lost, damaged, or wet paper journals that compromise your entire day's Sampling Effort and require costly re-sampling.

Instant SPUE Calculations

By maintaining clean, time-stamped data aggregated across the team, you can immediately calculate metrics like Sightings per Unit Effort (SPUE) without the manual data entry delays.

The Problem & The Solution

The Data Integrity Nightmare of Manual Field Counting

You are mid-transect, focused on achieving maximum Sampling Effort, when the cheap mechanical clicker jams—or worse, you drop it in the mud. The data you manage to capture is scribbled on Rite-in-the-Rain paper that still smears when the condensation hits it. Counting simultaneous events, like a sudden burst of flocking behavior, is impossible when observers rely on individual, isolated tools.

Hours are wasted back in the lab attempting to reconcile wildly different tallies from multiple observers documenting the same event. Did Observer A miss 12 individuals, or did Observer B miscount their tallies when they transcribed the rough notes from the field journal into the spreadsheet? These transcription errors skew your Population Density estimates, compromising the integrity of your final scientific report.

⚠️Stop relying on field journals and clickers and manual counting methods.

SnapCount: Collaborative, Error-Free Behavioral Observation

SnapCount turns every smartphone or tablet into a ruggedized, synced digital counter. When one researcher documents a sighting, that tally instantly updates on the dashboards of every other team member, whether they are 10 meters or 10 miles away. This eliminates the need for verbal confirmation and ensures 100% agreement on Species Abundance counts during critical Peak Flow moments.

Focus on the science, not the logistics. SnapCount provides a clean, time-stamped log of every count, indexed by the specific observer, removing the ambiguity inherent in reconciling multiple field journals. Finalized data is clean, aggregated, and ready for immediate calculation of metrics like Sightings per Unit Effort (SPUE) without ever needing manual transcription.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using SnapCount for wildlife research

How does SnapCount handle remote areas with zero cell reception?

SnapCount features robust offline capability. Data is stored locally on the device and automatically syncs to the cloud and across your team the moment a connection (cellular or WiFi) is re-established, ensuring zero data loss during remote transects.

Can we customize the counter buttons for specific species or observation types?

Absolutely. You can create unlimited custom dashboards and buttons labeled with the exact species (e.g., 'Bison', 'Black-footed Ferret') or specific behavioral codes (e.g., 'Foraging', 'Alert') required for your specific sampling project.

Is the data time-stamped and observer-logged for scientific audit trails?

Yes. Every single count registered is automatically logged with a precise time-stamp, GPS coordinates (if available), and the identity of the observer who entered the data. This provides a complete, verifiable audit trail crucial for scientific rigor and peer review.

Can we export the raw data directly into statistical analysis software?

SnapCount allows instant export of aggregated or raw count data in CSV format, ready to be imported directly into R, SPSS, Excel, or any other standard statistical software used for ecological modeling and Population Density calculations.
