About CloudSpotter
Learn how to spot 58 different cloud formations and optical effects, from the common ones like Cumulus clouds and rainbows to rare ones like the fleeting fluctus cloud or the hard to spot circumzenithal arc. Learn what makes each formation special with expert text from the Cloud Appreciation Society and stunning reference photographs by our app users around the world.
Build up your Collection of spottings and gain CloudSpotter Stars as you do so. Our innovative tools will help you decide what type of clouds or optical effects you’ve spotted. You will hear back from the rest of the community whether they think you got your spotting right. You can see New Spottings by other users around the world and say (with our help) if you think they got theirs right. Becoming an expert cloudspotter has never been easier – or more fun!
And if you’re a subscribing member of the Cloud Appreciation Society you’ll be able to access our Cloud-a-Days each morning. These feature curated photographs by our members, explanations of the clouds featured, inspiring sky quotations, and even examples of clouds depicted in art.
Looking up will never be the same again!

Could be better
This app is interesting and educational but too restrictive. Users should be able to add photos from their picture library, not just photos taken with the app - because the app can be slow, and if you’re not near Wi-Fi or have poor cellular service it won’t work at all. I’ve been unable to submit several of my cloud sightings because of this. So disappointing. Users should also be able to correct the selected cloud type (identification) if the “verification” process has marks it as incorrect!

A lot of potential
I was hoping this would be the iNaturalist app for clouds but as is it has some major flaws holding it back. The biggest problem is the only photos you can use are ones taken directly in the app. Imagine the amount of community science data you could accumulate if you can add in older photos as long as you know the date/time/location! The cloud karma is also an interesting feature but it punishes new users who know nothing about clouds and most likely encourages mis-identifications. Finally it would be nice to know if the photos are actually being used for science in meaningful ways. Published papers, new identified cloud types, etc. just something to know that uploading photos is contributing to something greater than ourselves. I’m excited something like this exists but hope it keeps getting better. It has so much potential!!
