Good questions
Here’s what Roarly can help with.
Clear limits make an answer more useful. Roarly is for curious listening, not for telling you what to do around wildlife.
What kinds of animals can Roarly identify?
Roarly is built for the calls people hear around them: birds, frogs, insects, foxes, coyotes, cats, possums and more. It is intentionally broader than bird-only apps.
How accurate is an identification?
An identification is an informed estimate, not a guarantee. Recording quality, background noise and how distinctive a call is all matter, so Roarly shows confidence and alternatives rather than pretending to know for certain.
Can I use a photo instead?
Yes. Sound is the fastest way to answer an unseen caller, but when you can see the animal, you can snap or choose a photo for the same confidence-aware result.
Is Roarly free?
You can start with three sound or photo identifications a day, including full-quality results and your identification history. Only successful identifications count. Roarly Pro lifts the daily limit for everyday use (a high fair-use cap applies) and unlocks all 26 reference sounds in the soundboard.
How does Roarly identify a sound?
Roarly sends your short recording or photo to a cloud AI model, which returns a top match, its confidence, likely alternatives and the cues it matched on. Results and notes are saved in a history on your phone. It is an AI estimate, so treat a low-confidence or “double-check this” result as a starting point, not a verdict.
