App Permissions
When an App uses functions of your smartphone or tablet, like e.g. the camera or GPS, it needs to ask for your permission to be able to access that functionality. All Apps on the SPOTTERON platform ask for just a minimum um necessary core permissions:
- Access to your location: used for zooming the map onto your area.
- Access to your media & camera: used for adding photos to your spots.
After the introduction slides, the App will ask for the first permission: Access your location. This permission allows the App to simply display the map area correctly and zoom to your approximate position on our planet. Please allow the App to access your location to have your GPS working correctly.
When you create your first spot, you can add a photograph to it. In some Apps, this photo is even mandatory for e.g. documentation. Photographs can be added via camera or from your photo gallery on your phone. In either case, the App needs permission to be able to access your camera or gallery so you can choose or take your photograph for your spot.
Further permissions:
In some Apps, there are additional features requiring further permissions. For Apps allowing the recording of audio and sound, for example, the App asks for permission to access the microphone. We always let the Apps ask for just the minimum of necessary permissions and do not use your data in any other way than providing the functionality of the App for you.

Can I use my user account in multiple apps?
Absolutely! After creating your user account, you can log in with it in all apps and projects on the SPOTTERON platform without the need to register again. You can find additional apps and topics here: https://www.spotteron.app/apps - Please be invited to download any app which you like to join and start spotting!
How can I erase my stored personal data?
To erase all your personal data stored on Spotteron you can simply go to the settings panel in the app you use. There you can enter your current password there as confirmation about your identity and then just "klick" Delete now. There is not even a delay, your personal data is automatically erased.
GPS-Location doesn't work. What can I do?
At the first start of the app, it asks for permission to use the location of your phone. Please make sure that you have granted that permission - you can find an app's permission in your phone settings. Alternatively, you can uninstall and reinstall the app and grant permission - no worries, no user account data or observations are lost, you have simply to log in again.
If the reticle doesn't jump to your current location, you can also use the address search 
to find it or move the map to your current location manually.
If you want to be use your location, you need to turn on "Location" in your phone's quick settings (if it wasn't turned on already) and open the app again, wait a few seconds and click on the crosshairs
