We’ve been hard at work improving Spidentify and we’re thrilled to share our newest changes with you. As you scroll through species in the app, our preview images now cycle through male, female and variations so you can see the differences at a glance. We have continued to add new species and additional images for those already included, including males and views from underneath. Other changes this update include:
- You can now share key information about a spider with your friends using the share button on each species page
- You can add filters when browsing the field guide, narrowing results by location, habitat, colour and more
- Distribution maps from the Atlas of Living Australia are now included
- Previews of spiders now include bite information, so you can see which species are dangerous at a glance
- A Help page has been added with troubleshooting information and developer contact details
- Identification results can now direct you to family and genus collections
- We have made changes in the back end which mean we can add more spiders, more often

The biggest change we've made is that all of our high resolution images are now stored on the cloud, so Spidentify will take up far less space on your device. The first image for each spider will still be stored on your device, so it won't change how you use the field guide or the Spidentify tool. If you think you'll be using Spidentify frequently in the field or offline, you can download all the images using your profile page, under the "More" menu.
Our other new features and changes include:
- New spiders, with new additions coming out more frequently
- New layouts, including better design and functionality for users with tablets
- Push notifications that will let you know what's new with Spidentify and when we've added species
- You can now sort our field guide by common name and scientific name
- You can add spiders to your favourites
- Tutorials will now show you how to use the Spidentify features
Thanks to our wonderful users so far for all your feedback, and for wanting to learn more about Australia's amazing spider diversity.
