Jellyfish App
If you are one of those who is waiting, like May water, for the holidays, this is one of the most important applications for iPhone that you are going to install, if you have chosen to go to some beach destination.
You will want to rest from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the year and surely you will not want anything or anyone to bother you those days. Well, we have to tell you that there are some small invertebrates that can achieve it. If you don't know what "little bugs" are, we're going to name the jellyfish.

How to know if there are jellyfish on the beach, thanks to this app:
These invertebrates can annoy a lot in summer and as prevention is better than cure, we suggest you take the application Medusapp on your iPhone , since it can avoid more than one scare.

The app allows us to report if we have suffered a sting on a beach on the Spanish coast, report a sighting on a beach, see a map with the stings and sightings reported by other app users and specialists, to have a complete guide to the different jellyfish that visit the Spanish coasts and know what to do if one stings us.
To report a bite, the app will ask us for some information. First a photograph of the sting and then data such as the age, sex of the person or the species to which the jellyfish belongs, for research purposes.The same happens with sightings, for which we are asked for a photo, if we could identify the species and the abundance and size.
Updated map of jellyfish sightings
The jellyfish guide, is a section with all the jellyfish that are sighted on the Spanish coasts illustrated with photos and data. The first aid guide is presented in the form of a "decision" tree that will show us what to do if we have been stung. Finally, the map will show us all the sightings of jellyfish on the coasts of Spain.
Although the app is focused on research purposes, we find it at least useful to have on hand on the iPhone this summer.
