2020-02-08	Ma*****	Five stars for helping promote coral education! Minus two stars for forcing people to input a user ID and password at the start. The user ID and password are not needed and only act as reason for people to quit the app without getting the coral education you want them to have. Maybe have them setup the user ID and password when they actually submit data.

2018-11-21	Ka*****	I was really excited when I downloaded this app but was quickly disappointed when i started using it. I was not able to pass the quizzes right away given my novice scientific understanding - but extreme interest in - coral reefs. I was eager to learn what I didn’t know until I realized the app doesn’t that offer that information. It simply offers a percentage of the information you got correct until you are left guessing at the images to try to increase that percentage. If I had to guess, guessing to get the correct percentage is not what the creators are looking for in accurate, informed citizen scientists. Offering photo references and new information when quizzes are not passed would make this app actually useful and give those using it an opportunity to learn. You can’t learn if you aren’t offered new information about what you don’t know.
