Disappointing Waste of Time

Shame on National Geographic for not improving this poorly produced app. Do you want to stand on the beach waiting over 5 minutes for this app to finish “fetching” and “loading” each time you want to use it? I was able to walk home after attempting to document some plastic trash and it has yet to open, hence this disparaging review. Sadly, deleting this nonfunctional app will be my next action.

Roses are free

I threw soap at my bathroom wall to see what would happen and I lost it Still don’t know where it is

Inconsistent

Some days, the app opens within a few seconds, other days the app will keep saying “fetching data” forever and never open. I use this app for class assignments and the inconsistency it stressful.

One of a kind!

Marine Debris Tracker comes with a handful of bugs but when it works it’s perfect for everything my friends have been looking for!

Plastic not bad.

The plastic is not baddie.
