Please fix this app. You must have tech people at the school that can make a decent app. It's a great idea, but it has to work. I keep getting notifications saying pics have been approved & a few declined, but there are way more notes than the amt of pics I've taken so far, & the pics are still showing "pending," & not on the map. Map doesn't update & can't stay logged in. I really want to love this app.

Good idea. But, the app is pretty clunky. Pics and vids once submitted just sit in the "pending approval" state for days. This makes it difficult and not much fun to participate in tracking Brood X. It'd be more efficient and engaging if uploads were approved immediately and reviewed by the admin after the fact. The community could be empowered to report phony pics on the map to help with review.

Thank you for doing this! I just updated and am not having the issues about signing in or crashing that others are reporting. I'm on Android Marshmallow. It would be awesome to have my current location show up on the map but I don't see a setting for that...

Refuses to accept photos and videos. They just sit in the app with a message saying "Pending approval". Mine have been pending for several days now. I'm un-installing since nothing happens.

The app is not working right. A few days ago it was showing something different in the map then pictures and locations decreased. Also, most of my pictures of cicadas are not even being approved. Will delete app.

The map stopped showing anything and it crashes within a minute of opening. Loading pictures does not seem to work. I liked the idea but implementation is not there.
