Good, but...

I love the idea behind this app, and the interface is very intuitive and simple to use. However, it keeps crashing on my iPad 2. I can never seem to get much past mapping 31% of a given area before the whole thing dies, and it takes me back to the start of that area again when I reopen the app. There is 3GB of free space on the iPad, so it shouldn't be a problem. Do other users find the same? This is frustrsting because it's making me not want to bother :/

Good feel good app

Simple app, look at arial photos and tap once if it has the desired features, can be home/hut, roads or "tracks" depending on the tasks, tap twice for a maybe or three times for bad image. So very simple.

I would like better definitions of a "track" since I think that means a path, so lots of paths show up which could be animal tracks or maybe even stream beds. I worry I'm flagging too many tracks.

I think it would be good to have a gallery of normal objects. I'm sure someone is highly skilled at this task already and could provide examples of say six hut styles to help make sure we know what the look like.

Love Idea, Small Bugs

This is an awesome idea! There are some lingering bugs tho. If you adjust the iPhone text size in settings, part of the text in the app flows off of the screen and makes it unreadable. Keep up the good work!

An easy way to help

I found the app very easy to use. It's nice to find a way to support humanitarian agencies with volunteering time, beyond just donating. Keep it up! I hope it catches on.

Love this!

What's not to like? Cool imagery. User-friendly app. Helping people in resource-poor settings. All at the same time
