Swipe down is flakey, allow more zooming in
The app is fine, but it’s quite frustrating trying to get the down swipe to work. I end up just triple tapping each tile individually, which slows down progress. Would be nice if it allowed a little more zooming in. Even with low res, it could be helpful.
overall great app
honestly I rarely do reviews but this app is great if you want to do something quick but slowly make an impact. Some of the guidance tutorials can’t be really applied to what some projects are asking for, but definitely wish more people knew about this app. it’s one of the easiest ways I can volunteer online through quarantine and I really hope that this app will blow up and get even more people on the project <3

Great Idea and Execution
This is a really cool app, it’s good to use when you’ve got some time to sit or are just hanging out. It doesn’t need a very strong connection or a powerful phone to work, and looking for buildings on it gets kind of addicting! It’s an awesome idea to crowdsource this kind of stuff, and the app functions perfectly. It’s simple and easy and has a good tutorial, so you should at least give it a try.

iPad Functionality is missing
Love the app and the cause, the app is simple and quick to pickup.
Would like to see more optimization for the iPad or a potential standalone app with greater tools and functionality.

Wish the tutorial was better
I’m a heavy user of this app and I love the work that the team does. I think it would be easier for volunteers to engage if the tutorial was more clear. For example, the tutorial didn’t show how to swipe to the right to continue the map, or what the yellow and red squares mean. Additionally, I wish there would be a button at the top or bottom to mark the entire screen as “bad image quality”, as swiping down often leads to swiping left or right instead.
Overall, the app is good!

Great app. Need more guidance
This is really fulfilling an important need. I would like more guidance on what is the shadow of a tree and what is a round building. Thank you!
Great cause, good app - needs updating
For the longest time, Mapswipe has been the only “game” on my iPhone, and for good reason - it’s the best way to occupy your downtime imho.
Unfortunately, it’s no longer working for me on my XS (iOS 12). App loads, I can see projects and my profile info, but I can’t download or open any maps, so can’t contribute to the Missing Maps project as I’d like to.
Please please please fix the app, it’s a great cause and I hate not being able to contribute as I once did.
In the interim I’ll still contribute via missingmaps.org, but I’d love to be able to do it whenever via Mapswipe.
Still rating as 5/5 as when it works, it’s a good app.

Great concept
This app allows you to contribute to humanitarian work around the world. It's simple to use, I imagine the result depends a lot on the user. I hope this is useful on the ground.
Two UX suggestions:
It would be useful to allow hard press for a "red" bad tile, in addition to triple-tap.
I find zoom a bit awkward - often the finger I used to hold the tile then obscures the zoomed image. I'd suggest after zoom, the enlarged image stays in place, with another tap on the tile to remove zoom.

Great app but keeps crashing
I love the idea of this app but unfortunately it keeps crashing on me which is really frustrating. I don't know if the area I've already mapped has been recorded or lost. Please fix this!
