“Coreo has proved to be exactly the platform we need - easy to use, simple to set up and solves all of the major issues we had previously…It’s ease of use has meant that everyone can build surveys and work with the data.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Coreo has transformed how the organisation functions.”

"When choosing a provider to develop this app, we had no doubts that we wanted to work with Natural Apptitude as they are renowned for excelling when it comes to creating user friendly data recording apps. The team understand exactly what it takes to make an effective and engaging tool, and this is demonstrated by their impressive portfolio of citizen science and data collection apps.”

Some people might think data collection is dull, but it’s not at all. It sits at the core of what we do because if we don’t know what’s broken, we can’t fix it. Citizen scientists, software, apps and platforms like Coreo are critical for the work we do and in the fight to protect our natural world.“

“The Wildlife Assessment Check tool is quick and easy to use – within 5 minutes the tool will tell you whether your project is likely to require professional ecological advice as well as giving you details of the potential wildlife which need to be considered.”

“It’s fantastic to see more and more records of nesting Swifts being added to Swift Mapper. These records help us to understand where nest sites need to be protected and where new ones are needed. The system is so easy to use and we’d encourage everyone to share their records of nesting Swifts via the Swift Mapper app or website.”
