About AMS Meteors
Join the American Meteor Society community and contribute valuable and precise data relating to meteor shower and fireball observations. The AMS App allows witnesses of fireball meteors to log details about their observation using the mobile device. Sensors in the phone provide an accurate means to record the location of the observation as well as the azimuth and elevation values for the start and end points of the meteor. Using this data the AMS can accurately triangulate fireball meteors and plot their orbits to determine their celestial origins. The App also provides a means to log observations from meteor showers. Simply start your observing session and then each time you see a meteor point to that place in the sky and swipe your finger on the screen in the direction the meteor traveled. Observation data is uploaded to the AMS website, available under your profile there and shared with the scientific community. The AMS App also provides a useful meteor shower calendar with star charts and moon conditions for all major and minor showers throughout the year.

After making a full report on a sighting, and downloading this app, I went to register and even though I hit the button, it blinks and comes right back to the page with no error messages. I tried to log in, and it says my email address and password don't match. There is no information as to whether or not there are password restrictions on length, character types, Etc. When I reported, it gave me a sighting number, and a code to use to enhance the report. There is no way to use either.

There are no descriptive headers in the user registration. Just guess what goes into the field. I could figure out the field for a password as it makes **** stars. Even trying to register at the home site facebook login does not work. Uninstalled.

The limitation makes this app far less useful, in fact, useless in many scenarios. And no way to read current reports.

Great app, novel real-time recording method, very well built, just missing some information (showers, e.g. draconids) and some text corrections.
by T####:
It completely doesn't respond and locks up when it tries to get the average velocity determined. The old one worked better.
