CANT UPLOAD EXISTING PHOTOS!
it’s a great app, but you can only save photos to the app by using the app itself. you can’t upload previously taken photos. very disappointing.

Amazing for beginners
I’m fairly new to cloud identifying, and this app has a plethora of information! I’ve had a blast “spotting” and recording clouds in the app. Other than being a little laggy, I’ve experienced no bugs. I recommend!

Downloaded for previous Photos
I saw this app mentioned in a Reddit post about clouds and love collecting apps to identify aspects of the natural world, but was severely disappointed to realize that I cannot upload already existing photos onto the app to identify clouds on. I live in an area with a semi-common occurrence of Asperitas clouds, and wanted to document the times I’ve caught it on camera. However, I cannot do that as I can’t upload old pictures. Very disappointing and I guess I’ll just delete the app because I have little use for it in the summer.

Can’t submit photos easily
This app used to be amazing but it no longer allows you to submit photos taken earlier or with another camera this means if you have a professional camera or even if you want to use the camera settings on your phone, you can’t. You are required to take the photo within the app, which gives you more limited camera functions, and categorize the cloud in that moment. This transition happened without warning while I was traveling internationally. I was disappointed when I returned home that I couldn’t upload any of my cloud photos from my trip.

Bring back the badges and stars
I miss the challenge of the old CloudSpotter app… not so much fun anymore 😕

I agree i wish we could put pins
i hope we can put pins on the next update for the app
2023-09-10
Needs more options
I like the app a lot, but I really wish you could put a pin on the cloud picture to add multiple labels of cloud types. Because often times, there are multiple types of clouds in one picture. With the current app each picture can only have one label.

Almost great, but has serious issues
This app has the potential to be a great cloud spotting app. However, it has what appears to be a serious bug. When spotting clouds, it does not save what you’ve spotted. There is a location in the app to view spotted clouds, but no matter how you spot/identify a cloud, they never are saved to the app.
Aside from that, there is a serviceable ai cloud identifier in the app, but this often misidentifies. For learners, this can be frustrating.
Additionally, there does not seem to be any user community on the app. In other words, you cannot view other users clouds, or have another user identify your cloud.
All together, this app sort of works but has some serious issues.

I hope you can see
1 Can you join Chinese?Because there are many cloud lovers in China.
2Can you automatically identify the category of clouds in uploaded photos?
3Thank you very much for your contribution.

Good for the pictures and IDs -that’s it
If you want to enjoy the pictures and to identify clouds and optical effects, this is great. If you actually want to participate in the society, this is terrible. There is no info under the profile. You can’t see your groups at all, or get your messages. It’s also a huge PITA to log in (why do I have to log in to the app? It isn’t like this is my bank).

Can’t Report Clouds
Im a huge fan and member of the CAS, but this app has a flaw / error in that it doesn’t let you report spotted clouds. The developers need to fix it.
2020-03-05
Cannot report a cloud
When i either upload or take a picture of a cloud theres no option to report it

APP misinforms about chem trails
This app seems like a deliberate attempt to misinform the public about chem trails, calling them contrails.
