"Overall, a very helpful field work tool"
4/5
What do you like best about Ecobot?

The most helpful part is having all of the database information in one application. It helps to fill in spots for each section of the wetland forms that may be hard to remember when in the field with just pen and paper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ecobot?

I wish that the EcoBot was a bit better with auto-completing some sections of the form like in the vegetation database. I also believe that using the scroll wheel function can be frusturating for soils rather than just typing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very Helpful Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Ecobot?

The app provides all the correct indicator statuses for whichever region you are working in. Also, looking up plants by scientific name and/or common name makes life a lot easier in the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ecobot?

This app would be top-notch if it were able to use GPS location to give you the exact city/county for each point taken. Especially, when you are on a big project that encompasses multiple counties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zoe Kovacs of Ecobot

Thanks so much for your feedback. Auto-filling location-based info using GPS is a great suggestion along those lines.

"Ecobot review"
4/5
What do you like best about Ecobot?

Improves overall efficiency in wetland data point collection. Easy to look up species and find indicator status. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ecobot?

Areas of improvement: ability to globally change project information from web browser; ability to check-out projects started by someone else from same company on the app; ability to "clear" soil profiles similar to the process available for vegetation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zoe Kovacs of Ecobot

Thanks for these suggestions. Customer feedback like this is essential to focusing our roadmap to continuously deliver a better experience for our customers. We regularly release new versions of the app, so be sure to enable automatic updates in the app store.

"Ecobot Review"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Ecobot?

I love how the app fills in the indicator for the vegetation at each datapoint. I also appreciate having the requirements for each hydric soil type explained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ecobot?

It would be nice to have the NWI and soil types filled in for the data points based on where the point is taken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zoe Kovacs of Ecobot

It’s great to hear that Ecobot has been such a help to you. You can now auto-populate location data, including the NWI and Soil Map, based on your location using the new web dashboard! We’d love to walk you through the most recent updates – email us at support@ecobot.com to set up a training, or check out our Knowledge Base to view our how to guide.

"It does what it does"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Ecobot?

I like that the wetland data sheets are virtual,I like that you can copy a previous sheets information to your current DP. I also like that you can do that for individual parts of the datasheet not just all of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ecobot?

I dislike that you have to create a "new" project for each person in the field. With other programs, you can open up the survey with just your account; no need to create a new project just to use it. Also, you cannot view other people's datapoints while out in the field because of this; each person has their own separate "project," and therefore, no immediate syncing can be done. The datapoints have to be downloaded from each person, instead of them all being in the cloud in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zoe Kovacs of Ecobot

Thanks for your detailed feedback! We’re always working to improve the Ecobot experience, and we’re working to build out our team collaboration features.

"User Friendly"
4/5
What do you like best about Ecobot?

I like how easy it is to use ecobot. Having all of the indicators right in the app is useful for quick references. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ecobot?

I dislike the project can only be assigned to one person. I know you can check projects in and out but it would be helpful if two of us could have it listed under our name. Or if we could more easily transfer projects from one person to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zoe Kovacs of Ecobot

We hear you! We’re in the process of building out Ecobot’s collaboration and project management capabilities, so it’ll be even easier to work on a project with multiple stakeholders.

"Very helpful app for wetland delineations"
5/5
What do you like best about Ecobot?

I like the indicator write-ups that you can reference in the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ecobot?

I wish the application would auto-populate the USGS topo quad and soil information for each point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zoe Kovacs of Ecobot

Thank you so much for reviewing! We’re glad you are finding so much use out of the new web dashboard features like auto-population of location data and the bulk editing tool.

"Efficient data collection solution for wetland scientists."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Ecobot?

This app allows us to collect more comprehensive and accurate data in the field, significantly reducing post-collection processing time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ecobot?

There are no significant weaknesses that I have identified during our use of the application. I would like to have the ability to create a list of favorites for the species list. There are approximately 12-15 species commonly encountered, and a quick reference list to choose from would speed the data collection process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zoe Kovacs of Ecobot

Thanks for the great review! We really appreciate the suggestions you’ve provided that would make the app even more efficient.
