Sp-Otter · Singapore · Updated 25 October 2026
Sp-Otter is a community for respectful otter watching in Singapore. Be kind to the otters, the people and the parks. Break the rules and your content may be removed or your account paused.
You must be 13 or older to post. One person, one account. Don’t impersonate anyone or create accounts to get around a strike or a pause.
Post your own photos of wild otters in Singapore with honest captions. You keep ownership of your photos. By posting one, you give Sp-Otter SG a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, copy, edit and publish it, including commercially (for example in the app, on social media, as Photo of the Month, in prints or merchandise), credited to your handle where practical. Deleting the photo or your account ends the licence for new uses; uses already made can stay. If you also share your photos with researchers (Settings → Otter research), you license them to research organisations under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 (CC BY-NC 4.0), credited to “a Sp-Otter SG spotter”.
Follow the Community guidelines in the app. They’re part of these terms.
Posts and comments are checked automatically and by trusted spotters or moderators, as described in “How moderation works”. We may remove content or pause accounts that break these terms. Automated decisions can be wrong; report anything you think is a mistake.
There is a 30-minute gap between sightings, and new spotters can post up to 3 times a day.
Sightings are shared by the community and may be late or wrong. Stay safe outdoors and follow park rules. Report wildlife crime to NParks (1800-476-1600), not only in the app.
The app is free to use. Sp-Otter Pro is an optional upgrade that shows sightings as soon as they’re checked, with the exact spot. It’s sold through the App Store or Google Play as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase: payment, receipts and refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their terms. A subscription renews automatically at the same price until you cancel it in your App Store or Google Play account, at least 24 hours before the period ends; Pro then stays until the end of the period you paid for. Lifetime has no renewal and lasts for as long as Sp-Otter SG offers the app. A refund ends Pro at once. What Pro shows depends on what spotters allow; it never shows sightings in an area with young pups early. Pro belongs to the account that bought it and can’t be moved to another; restoring a purchase brings it back to that account.
The app is provided as-is. We don’t guarantee sightings or uninterrupted service, and we aren’t liable for what happens in the field.
We may update these terms. If changes are significant, we’ll say so in the app.
