Electronic Field Guide for Butterflies
This is the only application available on android market so far which displays the butterfly names in Marathi. It works in offline mode and is very easy to use as a "field guide" at butterflying sites.
The application covers many of the common species of butterflies. The application is in sync with our own butterfly repository and hence includes the butterflies which you will find in our website @ http://butterflies.TheNatureWeb.Net
Minor releases of the application are scheduled every 3 months to include new butterfly species. Emergency fixes would be deployed immediately to resolve the bugs and defects encountered.
Some key features of application include:
1. List of butterfly names in Marathi
2. Butterfly categorization for easy navigation
3. Seachable List of butterflies - the application allows to search either on butterfly name or alternate butterfly names or scientific name.
4. Butterfly Details screen with photo gallery - use long press on each photo in gallery to view details of selected photo
5. Desktop widget showing random butterfly
The application also offers search based on Marathi names. Currently many of the Android operating systems doesn't support Devnagari font. To overcome this challenge; the application allows users to perform search in Marathi by typing the names in English script. For example: 'Limbali', 'bahurupi' etc.
Desktop widget is one more cool feature which displays "Butterfly Info" on home screen. The butterfly displayed in widget is randomly selected from the application's butterfly collection.
Finally, stay tuned to the application; we are adding more and more butterflies to the application.
