About this app

Sons Of Smokey - SOS app is uniting public land users of all types and volunteers looking to help restore public land for future generations!

Use the SOS app to identify and clean illegal dump locations on public land. Geo tag and photograph abandoned vehicles, dump sites, etc. and our real-time map is updated.

Scout out these marked locations for clean up projects and mark them as cleaned up when you're done.

How it works:
- Download the app and sign in with your Google account
- Open the SOS app while using public lands
- If you see dumped debris, select the large "+" button in the middle of the screen, provide a description of what it is and take a few photos
- You will see the trash icon appear within the app
- If you can clean up a trash location, do so and tap the 'Clean Up' to provide some new photos and describe what you did

Ratings and reviews

Feedback for developers: - need functionality to home in on your current location when viewing the map. - need functionality to mark coordinates. When cell service is unavailable, you should be able to mark the coordinates so the trash location will be updated when you are able to reconnect. - add an "access info" drop down to allow users to select if the site access is for high clearance 4x4, basic drive in, or hike-in to the trash site. - allow users to take credit for cleaning up trash!!!

Amazing app for a great cause! A addition I'd like to see is some means of moderated commenting so users can network clean up days and notify one another when a marked trash site has been cleaned up. Maybe even a automatic notification that goes to the person who marked a site when it gets cleaned up. I think this would help motivate users to not just mark trash sites but actually go out and clean up what they and others find. Happy wheelin, Mason

I'm very excited about the premise of this app and the potential impact. Unfortunately I'm having the same issues as many others have pointed out in their reviews. I simply can't get started because I never receive the text message as part of step one.

What’s new

Added a menu to the trash point details with options for getting directions to a point, sharing the location, and reporting inappropriate content.

Also includes bug fixes
