Removing marks made by accident

I'm using a mini I-pad, and I can't find any way to 'unclick' a cross I've marked by mistake

I have same problem using iPad. Once your finger is on the photo you have to place a mark and there is no way to delete

Hi. I'm sorry to read that. Honestly, I wouldn't use an iPad for such a thing as a classification even if I had one. There are always problems with it 😕 Do you have any other option? It would be the best solution.

Same problem as above. Unable to remove X's. Pity as I have no alternative. It should be made clearer that ipad doesn't work as I've now done 2 pics that need to be voided. Disappointing.

Our computer has technical problems so my only option is iPad. Since Discovering that you cannot delete I am being very careful. I only put my finger on the screen if I am 100% certain I need to mark. If any doubt I leave it and tick the too many penguins to mark box. I think I have only made 2 accidental marks that I couldn't delete. If this happens I make a comment. Hope this is ok.

So sorry about these issues. We are working on these iPad bugs at the moment. Thanks for you help with the project!

I am now having the same problem - on desktop using Google Chrome. I can drag them off the page - so will do that for now.
The Favourites button has disappeared too (although that is hardly important)

The little magnifying glass button is also not working all the time - works sometimes.

Yes, it is rally gone. I can't see the favorite button as well! But the magnifier seems to be forking for me (Chromium, Ubuntu)

iPad button clicking behavior should be much better now. Please post back here if there are still issues.

Have just done first photo using an iPad & accidently clicked in the wrong place. Can't remove errors as the X button would not work.

Hi, yes, unfortunately, this project doesn't work properly on touchscreen devices 😦

I was surprised by these posts. I have to use iPad and find it easy to delete marks so the promised improvement really worked. Thanks!!
