NaturaList vs QField for QGIS Usage & Stats

NaturaList allows you to record your sightings easily and for free, directly in the field or later on. You can include all details you would record in your notebook – for your personal archives but also to contribute to nature conservation and science. No more time wasted copying your data once you get home, no observations forgotten, no uncertain locations: your sightings are located precisely thanks to maps and GPS. NaturaList is also easy to use with only one hand. Your data are securely stored in the portal https://data.biolovision.net, where you will always have access to your own data, and are then shared with a steadily increasing number of partner databases operated by nature conservation organizations around the world ( (e.g. https://www.ornitho.ch, https://www.ornitho.it, https://www.ornitho.de, https://www.faune-france.org, https://www.ornitho.at, https://www.ornitho.cat, https://www.fauna.hr, https://www.ornitho.pl, https://www.orchisauvage.fr, https://www.ornitho.eus, https://www.faune-guyane.org. Complete and up to date list available in the app or the web portal). Our partner https://www.ornitho.cat was awarded ”Best Citizen Science Award” in 2015 and the Catalan environment award “El Premi Medi Ambient de la Generalitat” in 2017. About 280'000 users, including many specialists of various taxonomic groups, already rely on our systems on several platforms, particularly in Europe. Additionally, you can also see what other users have recorded around you - common species or rarities. A small support fee is asked for this feature, to allow maintenance and additional development for this app. Your help is very welcome. Thanks. -Easy to use and ergonomic interface, optimized for field conditions. -Lots of taxonomic groups, including birds, mammals, butterflies, dragonflies, amphibians, reptiles, orchids and more. -Lots of map layers available, including national map depending of on country. -Add photos to your sightings. -Record public or private comments. -See the recent sightings in your immediate vicinity and rarities in the greater area. -Personalize language and sorting of species names. -Predefined species lists according to your geographical area or local database partner. -Personalize the GPS mode to save battery. -Multilingual interface (English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Catalan, Basque, Polish, Croatian and Serbian). -The only app you need to record all of your naturalist sightings throughout Europe and the world. -NaturaList is recommended by the EBCC (European Bird Census Council) for use in connection with the EBBA2 (European Breeding Bird Atlas 2) project and by renowned institutes such as SOI, DDA, ICO, LIPU, OTOP, LPO, SFO, CSCF, ARANZADI Society of Sciences (complete list and links available on https://data.biolovision.net/). - NaturaList is an official partner of the Euro Bird Portal (EBP http://www.eurobirdportal.org/ebp/en/ ) This app was developed by Biolovision Sàrl with the financial support of the Swiss organizations ALA, Nos Oiseaux, Ficedula and the Swiss Ornithological Institute.

Built on top of the popular QGIS open-source project, QField lets users consume fully configured projects in the field, allowing for customized feature forms, map themes, print layouts, and more, bringing the power of QGIS to your fingertips. Leveraging open source libraries such as gdal, SQLite and PostGIS, QField reads, displays and allows editing of a wide variety of spatial vector and raster datasets. Users can view and modify datasets wherever they are, whether they have been downloaded onto your device, shared in emails or transferred via USB cable. The supported formats include: - QGIS project files (.qgs, .qgz, as well as geopackage-embedded projects); - SQLite-based geopackage and spatialite databases; - GeoJSON, KML, GPX, and shapefile vector datasets; - GeoTIFF, GeoPDF, WEBP, and JPEG2000 raster datasets. Looking for missing capabilities? OPENGIS.ch is happy to help with the implementation of new features. Contact us at https://www.opengis.ch/contact/ Permissions --- QField can use location permission to draw a marker overlaying device location on top of spatial projects and datasets. QField can also display and use location details such as latitude, longitude, elevation, and accuracy while entering data. Notes --- For bug reports, please file an issue at https://qfield.org/issues
