Remove the specification of using Google accounts, switch to public / private API key design.

Not sure about this, I don't think user accounts will be any more difficult to implement and the sense of ownership they can bring to the end-user/child may be beneficial

I think that adding user accounts is a fairly orthogonal issue to the project - having a key still means that users can see "their" data, it just makes our lives a lot easier implementing things.

I don't necessaarily agree that user accounts are an orthogonal issue given the limited brief we had..

Children should be able to use the data they collect to make comparisons between their own pets and wild animals

Whilst a key would facilitate this comparison, it's not really child friendly.

Decided to use a public ID in the interests of effort and time.
