SCS

The SCS application is a guide of the cetacean species.

For each species is shown a picture of an individual, a short description as well as a map of the presence of the species in the oceans.

Choice is made by selecting the common name in a list in the current language of the device, the scientific name in latin or by selecting an icon.

Pictures preloaded in the App are optimized for the iPhone 3GS. For the iPhone4, iPhone5 and the iPad, the program proposes at launch time to download optimized pictures for these devices. The download is proposed only if a network connection is available (Wifi or cell network). The download is processed in background without disturbing the behavior of the application. If not all the optimized pictures have been downloaded, the downloading of the missing pictures will be proposed again the next time the App will be launched.

The animal drawings were made available by the SCS (Swiss Cetacean Society). This association aims to promote knowledge of cetaceans to favor their protection. The SCS App allows to send emails directly to the SCS and to access to its web site.
