Crowdsource

Do quick, simple tasks that have a huge impact
- like improve the quality of Google Translate in your language, or of Google Maps in your country, etc. Each microtask takes no more than 5-10 seconds, so knock away a few the next time you find yourself with a few moments to kill
- be it while waiting in line at the grocery store or on the train ride home. Everytime you use it, you know that you've made the internet a better place for your community.

Easy to use, but I don't know if there is a reason to do it (other than the obvious - improving the Google experience for everyone else). Is it like the Google Rewards or Maps, where there are levels?

It's a great app, easy to use and pretty enjoyable but Google has to add some kind of reward system. I love helping but it just feels like a complete waste of time if I can't even get some kind of reward out of this. It would be great if you could sum the credits of Google Opinion Rewards to this app in order to purchase something from the play store (ex. Books, Apps, Music).

This app is fantastic, I've always wanted to collaborate with Google. However, there are some problems with the design. First: I think the home interface should be more like the Google classroom UI, with five colourful capsules instead of the empty ones. Second: in the image labeling I think that the two buttons "yes" and "no" should be of a different colour, not just blue, otherwise it gets confusing. Third: please add dark mode.

I really love the concept of this app! I think it's a great idea to use real people to help increase accuracy of AI. One complaint I have is that the sentiment evaluation (for English at the very least) is largely filled with at best nonsensical sentences. Some of the texts are composed of random characters and/or incoherent strings of words. I plan on burning some time away on this app. I hope that you're able to get some useful data out of this all!

I love the concept of crowdsourcing information. In this app though I would like to see more incentive to use this app and make it fun to use. The app also needs the ability to zoom in and out on images for image label verification. Also add the ability to rotate images without rotating my phone. This would be especially helpful on images with text to be able to read what it might say.

I feel like should be getting a paycheck... This app amounts to little more than free assistance from those who download it and participate to help you train your AI. I have no problem doing that for free but I do have a problem with the deceptive approach you chose to implement it. "Make the world a better place", but the place to start would be to reaffirm the concept of trust and reciprocity (the basis for all human interaction)

The experience using the app is getting worse. Its really annoying when the handwriting tasks you're asked to complete keep getting repeated. There may be a legitimate reason for this, but it would be good if Google explained why. Or is it just bad programming and they don't care if you're given the same examples to work on? As for Image Label Verification, it's rare now to see an image that IS what is meant to be. Maybe the users have improved the system and, the whole thing is now redundant!!

Absolutely gorgeous! If you want a free brain training for speed and accuracy, image processing and recognition, while helping everyone, this is the perfect app. Perfect, except the fact that translation validation shouldn't have a *submit* button, to increase speed. Also, as for any other Google app, DARK MODE.

The handwriting recognition examples just keep repeating - it's an insult to people's time and effort! I have been using the app for a while and the handwriting option appears and dissappear. When it is there the examples haven't changed - I remember them so well as they obviously don't change them. It makes a mockery of the whole concept!

A great app and really interesting to use. Its easy to use passing the time on the metro playing with it. I wish there was a portrait view mode as sometimes the images are dense and its hard to see if an item is in the photo. if you agree, use the help and feedback and suggest the same:)

I love my daily contributions the colorfulness of the app the ease of which you can use it and the leaderboard is encouraging.

Crowdsource is fun to use. The Smart Camera mode leaves much to be desired; it doesn't support multiple device cameras or use of the LED flashlight under dark conditions, and scarcely works at all on a tablet with a rather indifferent camera. Works slightly better on a recent mobile phone but the software side of things could be improved.

Concept is good but seeing as you are currently using reCAPTCHA to crowd source - which adds 30s-1m depending on speed of connection or how many you want validated - for your AI, I think those who take time out to help should be rewarded with currency or play credit? Even if just a minimal amount the increase in users would be large or revert to the previous methods which are just as effective at detection for bots such as audio API sampling, light level sampling, interactions and movements of mouse in X and Y etc and give me back the hours in total I spend clicking on traffic light after traffic light

Regarding translations, make sure you differentiate Portuguese from Brazilian Portuguese, it brings too many inaccuracies lumping everything together. i.e. I won't mark most Portuguese translations in the app as correct, because they're either Brazilian slang or expressions that are not used in Europe or in a regular app/OS that makes that distinction. And it's culturally insensitive.

It's not a bad app but there isn't much reason to use it. I wouldn't say answering questions about whether or not an image is defined properly is a very entertaining idea. I would say however that if the app gave users compensation in the form of Google Play balance similar to their other app, Google Opinion Rewards, it would be easily one of the best apps to have. Really, Google. Get on it!

level ten no hangouts invite. a lot of contributions nothing concrete. I wish there was more to do... the 1 thing that would make it relivent is if you got points from other things too (maps posting, play store reviews, etc). Everything is worth 1 or so if I up load a photo it's used 1000 times it's the same as saying yes to a photo and it's I have brand loyalty to google I use their version before any one else's so this seemed right the app feels like it was abandoned and no one is updating it.

I would be happy to contribute more if there was more in the way of rewards. At the moment, there are very few rewards for contributing quite a lot to Google's system, which they will benefit off. The rewards wouldn't have to big either. More Google Drive storage. YouTube Music/Premium subscriptions (1 month chunk rewards) or things like that every now and then would make this a much more inviting program, and make me a lot more likely to contribute regularly.

Dja. D. May 12, 2019     

Great app, but I feel as if there should be a bit more compensation. 1 cent Google Play credit every 200 contributions sounds fair, photos should maybe count for 5 contributions, that way it would give very active users a few euros a month, but it's still a low budget so Google can afford it. It doesn't have to be monetary rewards, you could also give like 1mb drive storage every 1000 contributions, or special themes for Google services like Classroom/Drive/Docs.

Google crowdsource is one of the best product that helps in training the data in an efficient manner and uses it to solve various problems related to image processing, language conversion and also much more. Download this app for amazing experiences plus they also offer lots of perks to complete certain level and benchmarks of contributions.

Jay. B. May 30, 2019     

Why let Google profit from us anymore than they already do whit the huge amount of data they have from just using their products. Those kind of things make me think more of a free Google Reward system for other stuff reward don't adress. It's like doing survey or watch ads for completely free. Instead i would just put that time toward wiki stuff or just get up and stop watching that damn screen for a while. Be useful and do something for yourself first, but that my opinion more than review.

Love the idea thst Google asks its users to contribute developing their AI solutions. 👍 The app is easy to use and it even feels quite entertaining sometimes. 😅 UI is easy to use and works smooth. So both the app and the idea behind it is really nice.

Len. G. May 10, 2021     

I like this app. I can help Google to improve their products. But it would be better if they can make the rewards more attractive just like the badge that can be used as profile picture border, 1gb(or lower) cloud storage gift, time-limited(maybe hours or days) youtube premium and many more so that they can attract more people to help Google.

When this app works it enjoyable and relaxing to participate. However, when it doesn't work, it's annoying. You'll keep resetting and trying to reload the task and it just became a nuisance.

Mic. B. Apr 9, 2020     

Tedious! Great idea but I found the app to very time consuming. I don't mind helping for 1 or 2 mins but sitting for 10 mins sorting out images is boring. Not worth the effort.

Jes. W. Oct 25, 2019     

No real rewards? Seems like I'm actually working for Google when I participate in this app. It would behoove them, in my opinion, therefore to offer some sort of incentive that translates to gain in the real world. Participants are "rewarded" badges, but for what? This isn't a game. I love Google, and want to help. I'm a local guide with hundreds of written reviews and ratings. Why won't Google offer something real? Like, couldn't this possibly take care of my $2/mo. Google Drive (cloud) fees?

Quite good, but it is to passive There's nothing more interactive The things goes on and on And there's no pop ing on screen with bright colors when u cross level Decreases excitement Also creates a sense of no achievement You have to go to check for your achievements
