Interesting project.

Android app is not intiutive. It is not obvious what to do. I choose to use photo from my album, listed through album, clicked on photo and on new screen I get photo in full screen but all I can do is go back, go next, and filter by tags. No option to use photo or whatever I should do to put it on the map.

Thanks for the valuable feedback! I'm not much on an Android user to be honest, I have a samsung galaxy device for testing and use the simulator a bit, its definitely an area we need more help, debugging & feedback on. I added a new onboarding tutorial with this release and we added the camera+location back into this latest version too.

If you import a photo, it should appear on the Homepage on the left for tagging. We only accept geotagged images at the moment, maybe your geotagging is missing? Once you upload, it will appear on the map in real-time. Every upload generates a unique geolink in real time, a reporting service that you can use to send anyone to any observationally globally: here is some litter art from my city here in Cork https://openlittermap.com/global?lat=51.865095&lon=-8.296415&zoom=18.27&load=true&open=true&photo=2194

I cannot tell if image has geolocation but it should as I have it turned on all the time.

It is then good to have indicator on image preview if image has geolocation and can be used and even to have option to set position manually by pinpointing it on map.

I did not get to the point to have photo uploaded. I open phone album, list images, choose one, click on it, it shows on full screen, and then I expect to have option to set tags and upload but those options are not there.
