I can only do sentiment evaluation and handwriting transcription tasks. I want to do photo identification too.

It is obvious from harsh/rude comments that certain users don't understand how 'Open Source' 'Linux Communities' work/operate. This is an excellent idea/App to promote & develop Open Source so that ALL USERS can benefit from FREE SOFTWARE and do not have pay a premium price even to plug-in a Car Charger.... Talking about Apple

Great idea with simple interface. I hope it helps progress the computer recognition. Skip button should prompt reason to help isolate various problems and then group those together and crowd source each problem piece of content to find a way to better identify those.

I like this app. It's fun to jump on and help out in spare minutes here and there. Some things like the sentiment evaluation need more context but that could just be the people

Amazing way to contribute localization and ML efforts of Google. Better way to spend your bus ride or some other free time. If you can filter local places to "Landmarks" it would be really great.

The text recognition aspect is like a fun little app in itself. Way to make an app for people who want to help out Google while also killing a little time.

Hire staff and pay them instead of asking for freebies from the public to do your work. Do you think those crappy achievement badges make it rewarding?, I'm 28 not 12.

A smart and simple way to contribute to others who sometimes get confused with too many options and don't know what to do with them. Thanks to Google to create such an opportunity.

It's a great and functional app for what it was designed to do. I consider my participation as charity work because Google's products have helped me work towards my professional and personal goals everyday. Therefore, it's great to give back so that others can benefit from better technology. With that being said, Google still makes a ton of money off my user generated data so it would be nice if this product team found ways to reward the community with better stuff than a shout out on their Facebook page. It's early for this app so I'm not complaining but I hope it's on their radar. Lastly, please have some integration with Google Maps Local Guide points for Maps related Crowdsource activities. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

With 3270 contributions and 11635 upvotes I just get a "good"rating. Do I really have to be over 90% in total to get a "very good" rating?

I think everyone who used Google to search "my girlfriend not talking to me " should install app and make internet a better place just sharing your knowledge with the world .

Where's my free Google Drive storage for contributing? Honestly you need more perks for contributors, people don't want badges that don't even offer any value.

Pros: Works well Cons: The app language changes after a translation task and it's impossible to change it back

Ich finde es gut, dass ihr auf uns hört und unsere Ideen einbringt (Abzeichen, Image Labeler...)! Meine Verbesserungsideen: ein Forum o.ä.(irgendetwas Soziales), einen Blog der über Hintergründe berichtet (wofür werden die Daten aus Stimmungs-Aufgaben verwendet, Statistiken über das was man damit bewirkt). Oder etwas Google Drive Storage als Belohnung wäre schön. Ich hoffe meine Ideen helfen! :) und wo ist Image Label Verification hin?

Reached the last level 5 already and now I don't feel like doing any task anymore without any perks or badges. I don't feel encouraged enough now after reaching the last level. Although, I would like to contribute more if I get perks, benefits or any new badges etc.

This is a great app I just have one problem Google if you can make your app entrepreneurs responsible and all apps responsible and reliable to the Constitution and the will of the people and protecting their interest is a lot of these apps you know and friends on people's privacy and security One young lady trace the woman's phone and followed her home from the app but thank you you doing a

You want me to work for you...for free? BAHAHAHAHA. good one Google. You can keep your 'badges'. I'm one to prefer money or other things of value instead of worthless pixels as payment. How about you open an MTurk sort of app instead?

5 star only because it's a good app.However,if you really need people to come and help you guys out,you need to give some REAL rewards.And by real I mean something like either Google Play credits or free drive storage...Common,it can't be that hard for you guys.After all,you give rewards for answering Surveys...I understand it's for some company or something but something like that helps...Also,please increase the Number of levels...Reached 10000 and no motivation to do it further...Atleast this is easy to implement...Also,if you guys introduce rewards,please ensure that those who crossed a certain number of levels get all the rewards of the levels they managed to reach already...Google Maps didn't do and I was seriously pissed off...I know it may be not profitable for your company but hey,be fair...Most of us wouldn't mind doing it all over again...For different people,consider different things to be more important for them.... P.S.- The new crowdsource FB is active at least...Cheers for that...You should run an ad campaign to get more people to do this AFTER you introduce rewards...Just imagine the implication of this,gives me goosebumps...Google Maps in local languages to better image labels in Google Photos...Better handwriting recognition means more surfaces turning into virtual whiteboards...Phew... Wow...The app changed a lot I must admit...Anyways,getting to the point...For the sentiment evaluation task,there are more sentiments then Happy,Sad or Neutral... Add atleast anger...If you are gonna ask us to evaluate feedback then angry is definitely a emotion we counter frequently...And the emotion sad doesn't cover it... I assume that label verification thing is for Google Lens...Now you I understand that you want to introduce it in the Western market first but there can be a number of things unique to a specific region and it would be help to start collecting that too...Please don't release Google Lens unless it's done properly...Hope you can convey this to the Lens team...You guys are the real reason why Lens will have a huge impact in the technological world so Kudos to you guys.
