Gets stuck

It won’t let me get past a banner of “don’t feed or swim, etc with the dolphins”.

Great service!

Thank you to the U of MD peeps who run this study and make this info available for all of us to see in this app! I have reported sightings over the years this app has been around and find it easy to use. We’re LUCKY to have this info at all. Being able to contribute and even add pics and video is a joy as well as seeing others media and reports. Please keep up the great work, Chesapeake Dolphin Watch! 😍

Love knowing about dolphins!

I use this to see where dolphins have been sighted-including some images from other users. I can look around the map before I head to the beach to see if they’ve been spotted nearby recently. App has trouble finding my location but it’s easy to zoom in or out, works just like Google Maps.

Absolutely worthless

I tried this a few years back
It was worthless then and it’s no better now
Can’t log in
Im sure someone smiles while counting the grant money
Obviously you people aren’t serious about this.

This app has problems. Registered with my email and password. Never received a confirmation link. Can’t even access the app because it doesn’t recognize my newly registered email/password
