TourCount — Open Source Productivity App

TourCount supports species-specific and individually GPS-localized registering of butterflies. New in Version 3.7.1: - Html formatting for app messages improved for different Android versions - Messages colors: Error red, warning orange, attention blue, info green - Code and text improvements - Docs updated Features: - Data recording is organized for a regional tour with its expected butterfly species. - Databases can be individually created and adapted within the app regarding meta data and expected butterfly species. - The app has an internal pool of many European species and comes with a prepared basic database with the most common species in Europe as a starting point for direct use. - Separate counters for ♂-♀-indeterminate, ♂, ♀, pupa, larva or egg. - You may use an individual species list per region. - Results are prepared for easy readout to transfer them to the science4you entry mask for butterfly registration. - Results may be exported in SQLite- or CSV-format (for transfer to a PC for your own processing, e.g. in a spreadsheet.) - Help contains a detailed userguide. Functions: - Editor for metadata in preparation for an inspection - Counter page with scroll-down list for species selection - Editor for individual species data of a count (e.g. status, remark or bulk count entry). - The app automatically inserts date, time, coordinates and height as well as location data by reverse OSM-geocoding provided that GPS and internet are accessible. - The app provides functions to add, delete or edit the species for the current species list. - The results page shows metadata, notes, totals and counting results per species. Prerequisites: The app demands for - storage access permit for importing and exporting counting data, - GPS (Location) permit for coordinates and location info per count, - internet access for OpenStreetMap reverse geocoding requests, - the permit to set the screen brightness, - the permit to prevent the sleep mode. The smartphone screen should have a minimum resolution of 1920 x 1024 pixels. The app is usable with Android version 7.1 (Nougat) or newer. Documentation is provided under https://github.com/wistein/TourCount/tree/master/docs. TourCount is one of two apps for European butterfly monitoring. The 2nd app, TransektCount serves transect counters on their inspection walks. It supports species-specific counting of butterflies per transect section according to the European Butterfly Monitoring Scheme method. Both apps use the coding scheme of Karsholt/Razowski for European butterflies and thus contain only European butterflies.
