INaturalist is a great platform for recording observations of flora and fauna in the field. It is widely used in academia for ecological research and is a great tool for identifying bits of nature. It can be accessed through smartphone apps or through web browsers.

For geology, Rockd is a great app for learning about new areas and capturing your observations.

I find these fun and informative to use when I visit new places.
