## What is WaterQuality?

The Water Quality Mobile App is designed for education or scientific research purposes. There are NO annoying advertisements.

Users of all ages can record stream study data and learn about water quality indicators in learning pop-ups. Data can be recorded in a general or a Leaf Pack Network report. Stream study parameters include site location (lat. & long.), site profile information, water chemistries, physical stream data, aquatic macroinvertebrates, and much more! The macroinvertebrates section acts as a field guide of all of the major taxa used to calculate a pollution tolerance index.

This app can be used in the field without WiFi or cell service. Once back to a WiFi or cell service area data can be exported as printed reports or emailed.

### 3/5 — Pond sampling almost made easy.

*2018-03-17*

This is a well thought out app which had everything I was looking for when monitoring our Local Nature Reserve ponds and streams.

Thee are a couple of things which do not seem to work, which spoil the App a bit. On my IpadPro 10.5, I can’t email the report and I can’t add a picture even though this is built into the app. 

I would really like to export the data into a .csv file so that I can do other calculations such as mean biotic indices scoring without having to re-type everything up. This is the most important alteration I’d like to see. 

I would like to be able to edit the names of the organisms to fit UK names e.g sowbug to hoglouse, but this is a minor issue. I would like to add new organisms, but this is also minor and difficult. 

Fix the bugs in the app and I’ll give it 4stars. Add an export button and I’ll give it 5 stars.
