Also you could check-out:

iNaturalist app for Encyclopedia of Life (EOL)
http://eol.org/info/334

Project Noah mobile app - You could "create a mission" to have folks work
on your project.
http://www.projectnoah.org/mobile

They may serve your needs for an app, but you could still specify your
particular interests to those you recruit. Or at least perhaps they provide
a useful template for creating your own app.
