Hi Zhijie!
Thanks for clarification!
Still though it is interesting what the community thinks about
such sort of apps. Does it worth putting an effort into it?
Again referring to my previous experience would be interesting /
cool to have an app implementing simple game mechanics in order
to encourage more people to contribute data. Maybe evolving the
app developed last year with these mechanics and publishing it
at App markets.
Cheers,
Yarik
