El mejor juego de aprendizaje…

Este es el mejor juego de aprendizaje que vi en mi vida, tiene buen diseño de niveles también se puede jugar sin wifi (descargando los niveles) además tiene detalles tan sutiles que llenan tanto el juego… sin duda es un juego grandioso lastima que ya no sacan actualizaciones la última fue hace 4 años :(

I love this game

I’m 12 years old and I enjoy this game a ton it’s great for taking note and if you want to learn about coral

很爛的遊戲

這個遊戲有點無聊,因為他破關的條件太過簡單,我只是隨便填一種顏色上去,就可以過關,遊戲目標也只有收集新的珊瑚樣本和升級而已。我希望這個遊戲的說明和知識影片有中文版或是字幕,不然常常會聽不懂,或看不懂它在說什麼,如果有中文版或是字幕就得懂了。

An app with a purpose

Great app where you play, learn and are helping the planet 🙃

Bad quality

Was fun at first but now it keeps bringing me to a “connecting to server” and no matter how long I wait it doesn’t put me in the game.

Such Important Work

Thank you for allowing me to feel useful!!
It only takes a little practice!! I love being able to help!!

Could use some UI updates

The user interface isn’t the greatest. I would love to review transects from somewhere other than Tumon Bay and the field guides could use more detail and need to be updated. Otherwise, I hope that this info is still being used!

Amazing!

This game is really fun and relaxing at the same time, which is hard for a game to pull of. And knowing the fact that you are saving the worlds coral reefs, enhances gameplay more.

I love the sea and now am learning new technology to conserve the ecosystem and name the flora and fauna.

Need more info for Tumon Bay

So I have been using this app for months. Not to be rude but this is a citizen science app not a coloring page for your toddler! If you cannot read or just don’t want to, please don’t think this app is for you! I keep reviewing transects for Tumon Bay. I don’t know why but I feel like a lot of the pictures are getting misidentified by users. There are some new classifications used in the Tumon Bay area that I feel people are misunderstanding. I had to go online to figure out what a fire coral looks like and I’m not sure everyone knows the difference between beach sand and underwater sand. when there’s an anthropogenic object I think that may need defined. It would be nice if NASA uploaded definitions for the new classifications specific to Tumon Bay. That way everyone using the app is on the same page!

Does not work

Found this app straight from NASA website and sadly the app will not connect to server. Unfortunately the support email is not a valid email address. Bummer.

Exploring

Love learning about the depths of the ocean from the safety of my sofa. Always interested and even thought about oceanography but settled in biology. Thank you for this!

Outstanding

Such a unique idea and wonderful way to help with mapping the corals. Who ever thought this up is a genius!

Seriously addictive!

The pictures and music are mesmerizing.

Play & Paint with Purpose!

Straightforward & quick to learn. Features a legendary female scientist narrator in Sylvia Earl! Play assists in supercomputer learning & an actual citizen science contribution…what’s not to love?!

Really great Idea

This game is a genius idea! This game lets you help out the oceans from wherever you are. It’s also really fun. Over all a really great thing.

Neat app, but my fingers are huge and I might be better off with a pen ! Very nice experience though. Wonderfully relaxing music too

Loving the reef!

I’m a novice reef tank hobbyist. While searching for coral guide apps I came across this app. Really happy that one of NASA’s focuses is reef preservation across the globe. Corals are such amazing animals and true treasures on this planet. This app is in fact very educational and I really enjoy reading about facts of each coral type. Really happy to see many people who are passionate about ocean conservation joining this community.

Great

Very easy to follow the guidelines and to get the hang of the game! And doing something good at the same time! I really hope this will help and be useful

Fantastic concept, but needs work

The vibe is great. The graphics are cool. The tools are simple and straight forward. But holy moly, the number of new names of classifieds which are crammed into you is overwhelming. There’s no way in hell I’m going to remember even two of those convoluted Latin-type concoctions in a sitting, let alone 6+ new ones.. Every new coral to classify is adorned with a new type to try an discern, and it’s irritating to have to open the directly thing every time to double check. Could you not rather slowly introduce the new types? In phases? Say classify 10 3D pieces in one type (that mushroom fungi one, or green algae, or invertebrates or whatever) before introducing a new one? I honestly just cried out “Hell, No! Not another one!” And closed the app. You say this app is for ages 4+, but I’m 33 and reconsidering my competency. I would love to encourage my students to get into this, but I tell you, I’m not convinced that any of them (Grades 4-5) will even get past what I tried. The idea for this app is beyond phenomenal, but you need to fork out some cash dolla for a legit gaming designer. Perhaps have easy nicknames for classifier types, with accessible reference to the scientific names. Funky sounds playing, ways to tell if you got it right or wrong. It need to be more engaging for it to really work. If funds really are just too tight, then crowds source, or look into gaming-design communities for contenders who are concerned about this cause. This really can work better and be more effective. App games are so popular right now, and will probably always be at the rate technology and the digital world is developing. Game design is huge, and you need make this a competitive activity for adults & kids.
