SPOTTERON
Dynamic observation lists
In the apps, you will also find dynamic observation lists, which means that new observations come up in these lists as soon as they're added.
High quality design and look & feel
The design of an app is crucial for its success. Because we have a lot of experience in both the general field of design and app design, in particular, you are in good hands with us, to provide your apps and project with a high-quality design, look and feel.
SSL / TLS encryption for all sensitive data transfer
We make sure your data stays safe: All sensitive data transfer is SSL/TLS encrypted.
Unlimited data hosting on high performance server cloud
No worries about data hosting: We also provide you with unlimited data hosting on a high-performance server cloud.
App Intro slides for introduction, information and how-to tipps
The app intro slides are displayed the first time of using the apps. The intro slides introduce the project to users and give them some background information and/or tips on how to use the app. Displaying of the app intro slides can be repeated by users by selecting 'replay intro' in the menu at any time. Additional slides for the intro can be designed and added to the project's intro slides if desired.
Optimized for outdoor field use
All apps we create for you and your project, are designed for easy out of pocket (possibly offline) use with one hand so that collecting observations will be as simple and easy as possible for the Citizen Scientists contributing to your project.
Collaborative Citizen Science - Project synergies in extension ecosystem
All Citizen Science projects on the SPOTTERON platform can use all custom extensions on the platform without additional costs from the start.
Partners
Trusted by partners from universities and institutions across Europe and other continents, the core of SPOTTERON is a growing network of scientists, experts and stakeholders, running their Citizen Science projects and CitSci websites on the SPOTTERON platform.
Choose from Multiple Map Providers in settings
In the app settings, multiple map providers like OpenStreetMap, TopoMap, Mapbox and more are available. You can switch from one map provider to another any time.
Offline mode with automatic waiting queue
The apps can also be used in offline mode. This means that observations can be collected while out in the field when no internet connection is available. These observations are then added to the waiting queue and can later be uploaded or modified.
