Question

Could the developer or someone from this app please contact me. I have a couple questions. I’m not sure the best contact method as I don’t want my info on blast. Possibly you could respond with a way for me to contact you. Much appreciated. Jenny

Fascinating

I found out about this app from a The Action Lab video. You need to make it so that the system does not calibrate and stay sensitive to the initial amount of light. A user should be able to start the app THEN cover the camera and still see particle trails.

This app is so cool

I love watching the map on the website and seeing my readings pop up. It's too bad that i'm one of two people in the world right now contributing their results to the public. Still though, it's awesome. On a side note, i have a hunch that cosmic particles can be influenced by the mind. Just throwing that out there.
