    Okay...this crowd-funding attempt did not work, at least not at the funding level we were requesting. I am going to move forward with the investigators and others to develop this mobile app with other sources of funding. I still feel that it is needed and that we can put together a very nice tool.

    Oddly enough, the notice I received about the project being cancelled understated the amount of money I donated. It said $25. I thought I hit my card for $100. I point this out in case anyone else brings up that point and I would vaguely wonder if your total might have been skewed.

    I would love to help out with development, if you could use some additional help. Regardless, can't wait for the app!

    An app like this would be so useful! Good luck!

    I believe this is one of the best ideas Extension has come up with in a while.

    Can't wait to use this. No more googling vague descriptions of bugs to try to figure out what they are!
