🏷️ About: GLOBE Observer invites you to make observations of the Earth around you. Observations you collect and submit with this app are designed to help scientists better understand satellite data collected by NASA from space.
You can't use any password with this because it always says invalid.
IT'S NOT!!
I expected more professionalism from GLOBEObserver. It crashes and very minimal. If you don’t set your location, or forget to, you have to enter your lat/long. After that point, it’ll crash. Zero point in downloading. Deleted.
Can't review it, it won't work.
Not sure if this is the right app for nasa
GLOBEObserver doesn’t even open on Iphone, how is that OK?
It doesnt let me open my observations it just keeps loading and loading forever I have tried different devices and uninstalling it and nothing
I am a nasa employee doing outreach. We had a class of middle/ high schoolers, and nobody could get GLOBEObserver to work. Multiple devices. If you aren’t going to support this, please pull it. Disappointed but not surprised.
It logged me out and then told me the password they literally gave me was wrong then said my accounts locked like what 😹 I’m just trying to graduate and get my hours but GLOBEObserver is annoyingly slow
I’m a cloud freak. I take hundreds of cloud photos a month. GLOBEObserver is so clunky and slow that i have to delete it after only one day and a few tries at making observations and taking photos. So sad.
Terrible UI. Compass won’t calibrate at all. Shows North as being SE. The photo feature locks and you can’t escape the screen. They need to fix the compass calibration and the photo capture feature, otherwise GLOBEObserver is entirely useless because the data can’t be used.
There is no way on either GLOBEObserver or the website yo view your account and change password even though a goigle search says there is a way. I guess that’s why they send you a pw. If just this part is not functional then I am not hopeful about the rest.
GLOBEObserver just hangs up when I try to submit data, saying that the photo is being uploaded. Plus the user interface is very poorly designed. It tells me I have no observations but two of them are shown. Plus there seems to be no way to export, say in spreadsheet or GPS format, the data I have collected. I would have expected much more from a technical organization.
It’s a great feeling to have able to help on a larger scale I hope that everyone’s work is utilized for the greater good.
Update: really sad that GLOBEObserver doesn’t not run. I wish I could even say that it kind of works but it doesn’t. Just crashes and never fully loads.....
Come on team .... we can do better than this !!!
I just downloaded GLOBEObserver and the cloud ID chart isn’t loading properly. The images showing cloud types load for a fraction of a second and then disappear. I’m on an iPhone 6s with iOS 15.2. Thanks.
Is this data being collected for machine learning?
This is a neat app and I feel like I can do my part for science. But my one complaint is that updates take too long. Contrails dissipate before I can even report them.
I’ve been using GLOBEObserver for cloud observations for about 2 months. It consistently works well and smoothly for the most part with easy to follow guidelines on making the observations. I am reducing the rating by 2 stars: 1 off for the cloud observation chart. I use an iPhone. When I try to open the chart, the cloud photos flash in their assigned boxes for an instant and then disappear. And 1 off for the fact that I tried to contact support twice about 2 issues and only got automated replies which were not helpful.
I like GLOBEObserver a lot. I honestly think it’s awesome. But I did feel a little uncomfortable saying yes to giving away my location. Great app overall though!
Highly accurate tree measurement app. Double checked with a clinometer and it was spot-on. Fun to be helping ICESat-2 and NASA.
Awesome app with lots of info and resources.
A really well thought out way to use the power of mobile devices to take meaningful measurements of my local environment. And get feedback from NASA! (For the Clouds module). Fun and easy.
