SPOTTERON

Every user can see which users are following them and which users they follow in their profile. 

Users can also follow or unfollow other users. The activities of others they follow will be displayed in their newsfeed, so they can see what their community is up to in the project.

An important community feature: Users can search for other users or even friends, to stay up-to-date on their contributions, etc. 

It has probably happened to everyone in the past: A forgotten password. So of course, we set up a secure forgotten password/update password function to update a users key to their account.

Of course, users can always update and edit their profile information and pictures. They can simply go to their profile in the apps and directly edit it there.

The different user types we offer for individuals, school classes or organization are not just practical to have, they also allow to avoid legal issues (for example, when school kids collect data).

Every user of your app gets a profile with the possibility to upload a profile picture and add information. But note, none of this is required to participate. Further, users can see all observations they collected through the "My observations" panel in their profile.

We value privacy! That's why there is no form of user tracking involved in the use of any phone or web-based SPOTTERON apps.  

Of course, we have different options available for you to brand your apps with your project identity and (in case this applies) also with sponsor logos.

Another feature included in your apps: Top user ranking. You and your users can see which 10 users collected most data. This way, you can thank diligent users for contributing, and other users will be encouraged to collect more data.
