Really love this app, it's relying on community rather than AI to tell you wether your right on your clouds or not, just perfect! Only thing, as mentioned here, it's sad that sometimes the sky feeds lags with the photo not corresponding to the name of the cloud, making it more difficult for the youngest of us. Also, also mentioned here, I would love to be able to suggest a cloud type for others, amd since the developers answered to the comment, I'm really looking forward to it!

Current update seems to have broken some images of the cloud types from loading. Aside from that, a great little app for cloud gazing, UI is pleasant, and the photos/descriptions of different cloud types are fantastic. Get your head in the clouds!

Awful app. By far the worst identification app I've ever used. I've been a member of the cloud appreciation society for years, but if this is their app they should be ashamed. Unintuitive with inaccurate AI, and no apparent way to report errors or give feedback. Not impressed.

I am a member, and it would not let me sign in, though I can sign in on the website. I even changed my password, and it still wouldn't let me sign in, telling me my credentials were not valid :-/ I promptly uninstalled it.

The cloud spotting is great! Unfortunately, it wouldn't let me create an "app account" with my cas membership. Gavin, help! 🌦️⛅😀

Terrible interface, I spotted 10 clouds and none of them saved into my collection and none of them were accurate.

It worked great for a couple of weeks. But now I can't use the camera in the app or upload photos to identify clouds. I have reinstalled the app but no luck.
