CoCoRaHS Observer User Reviews

No longer accepts submission

It’s much more convenient having an app and having to drag out the desktop to enter my data. But starting this week, it’s refusing to accept my submission. I tried deleting and reinstalling, but it still won’t let me enter my data. Very annoying!

Very useful app for CoCoRaHS volunteers

I am a current CoCoRaHS volunteers, and this app (along with the website) is very useful. (Also, I love CoCoRaHS.)

Trashy App CoCoRaHS

App doesn’t work! Can’t sign up, can’t log in. Crazy

Worthless…

Must create account to use… can’t create account… super rudimentary anyway, which is fine, don’t need anything fancy but would still like to be able to use. To the developer: why bother?

Convenient

Gets the job done! Much more convenient than logging into the website each morning. Works perfect.

Odd color choices

Not sure why this isn’t a simple black and white UI and inverse for dark mode, but that would be nice. Convenient for quickly entering the daily measurement, but would be nice if it was easier for my homeschoolers to read. Light gray on sky blue for the bottom tabs is horrible on the eyes.

Quirks

In order to log totals I find you need to change the time of observation otherwise the preset time won’t allow the app to log the observation. Also very recently there’s an issue with logging into the app. It claims the password/username are invalid.

Convenient but could use some UI fixes

It’s much more convenient having an app for reporting rather than having to log into a desktop. I appreciate the font color fix. A few other usability improvements that I would love to see:
— Add functionality for severe weather reports on the app.
— the “additional notes” should be a comment field rather than a single line, so you can see what you’re typing.
—after inputting observation data, if you go to the additional information page and then come back, the observation data is deleted. I’ve also noticed this happening previously on the notes side as well, but it looks like that may have been fixed.

Can’t change time; no link to significant weather report?

New observer here. I see from previous reviews that my issue is not new. The app takes me to the current time I want to enter, but when clicking “done,” nothing is changed.

Also unless I am missing it, there is no quick way to get to the significant weather report form. However there is a link to the website to do both of these things; just takes longer.

Great app.

This app is great to have when I have a power or internet service problem. Very good support. Thanks

Will not accept any username or password

Cant login

Terrible color choices

The new version uses shades of blue for the main buttons at the bottom of the screen with a medium blue as the background color. The result makes it hard to read the button labels or even see which one is selected. Please change this.

Log in

This app won’t accept any password or login information from me. Garbage.

😤

Does not have a place to sign up. Help!

Does what it is supposed to

This app does what it is supposed to do, but it could use an interface improvement and more features (like available on the web) would be great.

Details

On the iPad, when I enter a precip total then go to details to enter snow data, my precip value disappears when I go back to the first screen. Also, can’t edit input on the iPad, have to do that via the web interface. This is all new since the most recent update.
It’s certainly handy to have this app so I enter data in a timely manner, but bugs need to be addressed.

Good app

Developer quick to meet needs of users.

Ok, but could be better

All the fields where you can add data should be on one screen, nothing to go to another screen. Then, when you entered the data, there is no verification of what was submitted. Therefore, I have to check on the CoCoRaHS. which takes more time than if I just entered it there in the first place.

Can’t change time on latest version

When I attempt to change log time I get the time in the middle of the screen and no way to change time. What am I missing?
