No way to share later
FogloverSF
We had one person doing the days entry while collecting, so we got good data. When we finished and submitted, it asked if we wanted to share. I was not ready and did not. Now there is no way to share on social media or send the data to someone else. My son wants the data for school. Frustrating, but otherwise good.
Easy to use but

A little buggy - the summary email you get after submitting your data has mileage that is off the charts! Walked 4 miles but the report said 177 miles in 1 hour and 10 minutes. Also, it would be nice to customize the items collected to include things we pick up on our beach regularly.
Like but

Like this app and have been using. Unfortunately it is not updating the full database of beach cleanups, Could use a few more categories: Textiles, shoes, surf gear Otherthan that, works great
Won't load properly

If ICC wants to use this on CCD, it needs to be fixed. Won't load or open properly. Unusable. :-(
Download this and use it NOW

Simple features. Works great for real time data recording. You can record stuff on the go but it has some areas to improve regarding editing or adding data later. Please enable: 1. Editing of the collection event. I had neglected to update the number of pounds collected from the auto-estimated 30#s to the actual 336#s. 2. Manual input of collected items. We have to tap 20 times if we collect 20 cans, for example. It would be nice to have an option to just type in 2-0 and be done without it. 3. Adding photos from camera roll. Currently we can only add from the camera. 4. After the fact location adding. I'm glad we can record past events but it would be nice to record a past location and not just use my current location as the site of a Cleanup. Thank you for making this app! It really helps me keep track of the Beach Cleanup data we generate.
No good for mass entry/large groups

We had volunteers who mentally kept track of their stats, and then were planning to just enter their data into the app all at once at the end of the cleanup, not realizing the app only allows you to click "+" for every single piece of trash that was collected. It's rather tedious to sit there and enter 255 bottle caps...It should give you both options: a counter for entering as you go, but it should also include a drop down/blank to allow you to just enter the total number of each trash item collected, afterwards (for those who don't want to hold their phones while they're picking up trash, especially while near water...). We also didn't like how we couldn't link our smaller groups together, so that we could easily get the overall stats for our cleanup efforts. If the app stays the same, then for next year's cleanup we're just going back to writing our stats down on data cards.
Goofy and unsanitary

This app is a goofy idea. I just have two hands--one to pick up trash, and one to hold the container I'm putting it in--I don't have one or two more hands to hold and tap a cell phone while cleaning a beach. Using this app would cut my cleaning in half and contaminate my cell phone. Nobedy who is picking up diaper debris, used condoms, dog poop, eating utensils, beverage containers etc. should be handling a cell phone. I suppose we could have a trash tallier follow us around tapping icons on the app as we clean. I'll just focus on picking it up, thanks. Your data will have to be incomplete.
App wouldn’t work for me

I collect trash from the beach every day, so I was happy to have this app to keep track of it. Alas I have entered data for a week but the app does not let me see what I collected in the past, and never moves from Start Collecting....
First time app user. May be the last time.

I used the Clean Swell app for the first time today. In the middle of collecting items I must have touched something on the app and everything disappeared. Tried to get back where I left off, but couldn’t get back to the screen. Had to start over and estimate litter collection where I left off. When I finished I press the button indicated that I was finished. No history shows on my app and results were never emailed to me. Keeps saying history is being downloaded, but it has over been 8 hrs. If nothing shows up soon I going to delete this app.
