This is a fantastic free app which you can use every time you make a car journey to contribute data on insect populations. It's fascinating and simple to use - highly recommended!

Can't register! Won't find my address. The problem was fixed by the developers in no time! A server that was contracted to set up the addresses had crashed. I'm all set up now and the APP is easy to use. Very clear and good to the eyes
★★★★☆Daniel Beach· May 28, 2021
Great idea and I'm keen to help, but it looks like I need a Splatometer. I think this should be made a little more clear to make sure you get good results. No idea where to get one for a start!
★☆☆☆☆Andrew Knight· May 28, 2021
Interest get on board with this, but app won't let me create an account because it stops at the address field whereby it doesn't come up with an address to chose from after I enter postcode. Annoying
★☆☆☆☆Toby Mullarkey· Jul 14, 2022
Never received the splatometer, so the app does nothing.
★★☆☆☆Jason Gissing· May 4, 2025
Cannot create an account without agreeing to share my data with third parties. I think the logic on the sign-up form may be back to front on detecting which check boxes are selected. The wording on the checkbox around the privacy policy is also a bit unclear. So I've not got past the account creation, as I'm unwilling to grant permission to share my data. I'll be happy to try again if this is fixed.
★☆☆☆☆Caroline· Jul 12, 2021
Much like others sadly it won't let me create an account as it won't find my address. Hoping it gets sorted soon as my son will love to take part
