The Extraordinaries micro-volunteering service is available currently on the iPhone (only). Please note that we're still doing a lot of testing and iterating and learning and testing, so we really truly appreciate your PATIENCE and FEEDBACK in these early days.

users! Help fund a BlackBerry version of our app with a donation (not tax-deductible) and support our mission to turn spare time into social good!
Here are some screenshots of the iPhone application. This sequence of images shows several different functions, including take photo, and tag images:
Why are you limiting your App to the iPhone? I'd love to use it on my iPod touch as well. If you are checking the devices capabilities and exclude all projects that need camera or phone you could still offer selected projects to the user.

We haven't had the resources to do the extra development work. We just won a grant though that gives us addl resources, so expect an ipod touch version soon. Thanks for the comment.

I understand that things are just getting started, just dont forget that there are others out there that utilize phones that are not a blackberry or iphone that would like to volunteer. (hint: Symbian OS users)

what about a regular cell phone and a regular computer?

Hi Ben,
I can certainly help you to get Java versions (J2ME, midlet) automatically adapted to each user's phone. That really covers most of common cell phones in the market, probably above 90%.
It can be done in almost no time, really.
Please get in contact with me:

is there a way to do this on a computer?
Posted by: merrr | August 17, 2009 at 10:03 AM
Waiting (rather impatiently) on the PC version. I have random moments between my computer-based work and would love to participate.
