Polar Guide App
Creating applications for mobile devices on the topic of the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The idea is to always have information of what you can encounter in your pocket without needing internet.
First application
Arctic Wildlife Guide
This app shows wildlife of Greenland, Svalbard, Iceland, and Franz-Josef Land in pictures, recordings, and informative text. A perfect and handy companion for traveling into one of these regions.
Future Plans #1
Wildlife of the Antarctic
A wildlife app for the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia and the Falkland islands. This is supposed to be a similar app to what the first app is. Work has not yet started but i hope to start with it sometime in 2023.
Future plans #2
Release on macOS
For the future, a release of all applications for Apple devices is the goal. Currently, the lack of appropriate hardware is the reason that the work could not start yet. But I will look into it in 2023 again.
Future plans #3
More apps
Still plenty of app ideas are in my head. But due to my job as a guide in these regions I do not have the time right now. I hope to release more applications in the future that are related to the polar regions.
