About this app

FIT Counts are suitable for all, in urban or rural locations, and can be done at any time between the beginning of April and end of September.
Wild pollinators may have declined in the UK by more than 30% since 1980, but we need much more data to be able to track changes in abundance. You can help by doing a FIT Count, maybe even repeating it over the season. You don’t need to identify the insects to species level, only to within broad groups e.g. bumblebees, hoverflies, butterflies & moths, wasps
The FIT Count is part of the UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme (PoMS), within the UK Pollinator Monitoring and Research Partnership which comprises the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH), Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Butterfly Conservation, British Trust for Ornithology, Hymettus, Reading University, University of Leeds and Natural History Museum. PoMS is jointly funded by Defra, the Welsh and Scottish Governments, Daera, JNCC and project partners.

Just downloaded for Android, it won't let me sign up. I fill in all the required details, but clicking the sign up button does nothing. Uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted phone, still no go. I can't do a survey without an account.

Easy to use. Motivating to go out and count. Would be great if the app had built in flower recognition for instances where you are unsure of the flower you are monitoring

Easy to use and great to know we can all help just a little bit to contributing towards pollenator data.
