Still getting used to it, but I'm having a similar problem to what I've read in the comments. The app covers up the buttons on the bottom of my Android that allows me to switch between apps (as well as the home button). This app would be way more intuitive if I could quickly flip from my gallery to where the photo of the bee is, to the list the app provides.
The app was great in 2019 and I frequently used it to report my bumble bee sightings. However it updated in 2020 and I can no longer use it. The buttons for confirming my submission are located at the bottom of my screen where my android phone has its back and home buttons. Therefore when I click "select" my phone takes me back to the previous page and I cannot confirm my selection
Problem, app went to full screen, and now the bottom buttons are under my Android Galaxy standard buttons so if I try to choose the settings, the phone kicks me out of the so and I can't get it back out of full screen mode.
Terrible app. Tried to use it and as others have said you can't use it because it covers up your phone's buttons to navigate back etc. Very unfortunate as i really wanted to use it!
Not working. It's a shame that this app doesn't work properly because I draw many bumblebees to my pollinator garden. This app won't even allow me to sign in; I guess I will just have to keep making entries into my personal pollinator journal. Sad because it seems as though maybe they don't take citizen scientists very seriously.
I really like the idea of this app. Unfortunately it is very flakey. I have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling it to try to submit sightings. Logins fail, submissions fail...
So confusing to use. I thought it would allow me to assist in research and also help me to understand bees and what I can do to help them. I tried to figure out how to take a photo and submit it. I gave up after 20 minutes. Please improve the app. I want to help contribute to your cause!
Bumble's selection of profiles is running out of steam. Starting to see recycled profiles of women I've already passed on. They also like to try and keep your interest by sending you phony messages from very attractive women, who never materialize. What a joke!
Wonderful tool for the citizen scientist. Very difficult to impossible for me to obtain proper photo of feeding bumblebee for identification.
Keeps crashing and can't input any data entry
It does not work in new england. I am frustrated.
I am 3 days and but don't match why ?
helps the bees so it helps the world
Im new here try to find mutch. Thnx
Functional, but needs improvement. I am able to submit records because my home/back button tool bar on my android screen is able to minimize when not used. Swipe features on ones phone would also allow for easy navigation. Definitely not the most streamlined, but it gets the job done faster than sending it to my computer to do it from there, so, success!
