Love it ! Big advocate of the app, its functionality and its creator! Jenna is easy to work with, and this app has the potential to be used for cleanup groups to compile their data! Saves so much time and money! Spreading it on the West Coast! Contact her directly to help with edits and she's on it, or she can tell you if it cannot be done ;)
★★☆☆☆
Please allow app to be moved to sd card. Looks like a good idea but need to be able to store app on sd card. Once you fix that I will reinstall and give more stars.
★★☆☆☆
I'm probably using the app in the wrong way i.e. I don't live on the coast and look for debris in the ocean or waterways etc. But I use it when I take my nightly walk and pick up trash and debris from my neighborhood. But, your app tends to mess up quite often and can't find a GPS signal (at least that's what it says), and the little wheel keeps spinning, and it loses the distance that I've walked, which is very frustrating.
★★☆☆☆
Who the hell designed this app ? Firstly it looks totally outdated and the instructions on using it are ABSENT ?! It just doesn't accept the fact that I put location ON, and it keeps sayng my GPS is OFF. I don't understand why there's a need for a picture for every question and the questions are confusing ? Please do an update or consult with some normal people who are not in your bubble and see how this app is perceived by normal users.
