Ms Abreu

As a teacher, this app is wonderful to help students realize that small efforts combined have real impact. Students can submit data on a field trip or on a family vacation. It’s important that they understand their role in this process, this app helps students tally and sort their data collections.

Data surveying for academia and preserving ecology.

Excellent idea, should have apps for every terrain. The more accessibly to data the better the picture.

Logs you out without reason and loses your data

App logged me out and refused to let me back in despite me resetting my password and trying to make a new account, so we lost all of the progress we were tracking during our coastal cleanup.

Cute app

Okay

Hong Kong Cleanup

We all love this app, as it makes it so much easier to record our data at all our corporate and community cleanups! 💙
