The purpose of this project was to create a cross-platform mobile application for Dr. John Cossel of the NNU Biology department based on his book Field Guide to the Frogs and Toads of Costa Rica. The purpose of this application is to provide easily accessible species identification resources to aid researchers in the field. React Native, a framework created by Facebook, was used to create the app. React Native combines JavaScript and React languages to develop iOS and Android apps simultaneously without using native languages. Expo toolkit was also used to manage and display the application. Using React Native and Expo allowed the creation of a lightweight app that is 10% the size of the eBook. Although the app is faster and uses less memory than the book, the app is lacking several necessary features, due to the limitations of features imposed by Expo. Developing with React Native using Expo is an easy approach to create simple applications, but is not as well-suited for creating featurerich apps for projects such as this one. To use the app, go to https://bit.ly/2CnMeBr and follow the User Manual. Screenshots of the application will be shown in the seminar presentation of this project.
