SPOTTERON
Statistic panels per spot for charts display based on observation values
For spots with updates, the statistics panel shows the observation value development over time through chart displays. This visualization of data can be shown for different time frames like a week, month, quarter or even year.
Update mode: users can add new observations to the same location
The update mode allows users to add new data in a location where data has already been collected. Thereby you can collect valuable data over time, which shows the development of an observed object, plant, etc.
Filter for dynamic map display of observations
You (or your app users) can filter the map for a dynamic display of observations, according to a specific time frame, the category of observations or top spots, for example.
Display observations as “featured” in the map with a highlight icon (TopSpots)
You can mark certain spots as "featured" in the map with a highlight icon (a.k.a. Top Spots) to show users updating this spot is especially valuable data for example, but also other purposes.
Stacking for Map Markers for high performance and usability
"Stacking" for map markers (a.k.a. observations) means that only stacks of high numbers of map markers will be displayed until zoomed into the map. Thereby we ensure high performance and usability because individual map markers will only be downloaded if explicitely desired.
Image Editor for photos and image uploads with option for custom “sticker” placement by multitouch input (scale, rotate, position)
There's an image editor for photos and image uploads included in your apps. If needed, we can integrate an option for a custom "sticker" placement by multitouch input (scale, rotate, position), so that users can add these stickers for example as measuring tools, etc.
Display meta information in selection lists (e.g. latin species names below common names)
You can display useful metadata in your selection lists (e.g. Latin species names below the common names) to provide your users with more information and also help them in determining their observation.
Dynamic observation counter
There's a constant observation counter in your apps. This allows both you and your users to keep track of how many observations have been collected so far.
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.

With the COSEA App, Citizen Scientists can observe marine environments, document coastal habitats or species, and report on pollution, infrastructure and the blue economy. Their contributions on the map and activity in the app will help scientists better understand the impacts and drivers of marine factors to protect and foster a healthy relationship between humans and seas.
COSEA | Collaboration for Effective Sea Action
NatureSpots is a non-commercial and free project to discover nature together. In the app, nature photos and sightings of animals, plants or mushrooms can be shared with the community on the map. The app is a new initiative for observing nature and taking part is very simple and straightforward. The app is free of advertising, does not track users and takes digital privacy seriously.

The new citizen participation uses "Citizen Science" in their hometown and nationwide to get User's feedback on places. As a result, citizens are empowered to become active in a city worth living in to collect and share data themselves and to interact with scientists. This enables them to recognize the consequences of sealing, heat, water shortages, and a lack of biodiversity, and generally, how places in their own environment affect us all.

The IPM-Popillia Horizon 2020 project aims to address the challenge of a new risk to plant health in Europe's agriculture and food safety: the invasion of the Japanese Beetle, Popillia japonica. This invasive species was introduced accidentally to mainland Europe in 2014 and can quickly spread by transportation and trade. As a species with a wide range of feeding plants, P. japonica threatens the entire agricultural sector, urban landscapes, and biodiversity in invaded areas.

Fridays for Future see itself as a horizontal, grassroots grassroots movement that acts apolitically and refers to science for the facts. To engage the global population more, this app was developed using SPOTTERON. The aim is to find out how the population perceives the climate crisis and which positive and negative emotions are associated with specific topics related to biodiversity and climate crisis.
