Big Countries Crash App
Any time I go for Brazil or USA it always crashes
Amazing
It is a good app
Needs updating
App not matching birds for uk. Cannot add recent sightings of Boobys etc.
when will it be updated to current species naming conventions and sightings.

Used to be a slick app but no longer supported
I used to love this app but it no longer runs reliably on iOS for several years with zero support. Taxonomic updates takes years as well, but I guess that doesn’t matter cause you cannot use this part of the program. Save yourself a yearly $40 subscription for nothing.
Website is great; app is limited
Entering and viewing sightings is excellent on the website version of this tool. But the iOS app lacks so many features that it’s almost useless. Examples:
1) Cannot filter species by name or family. If you have a long list of species, you have to painfully scroll down. The filters are limited to date and location—if I knew those I wouldn’t need to look up species.
2) Species page doesn’t list sightings. It just shows first and last dates.
3) Entries list has no way to jump down to an early date. If you have lots of entries it’s tedious to scroll toward bottom.
4) New locations cannot be given a latitude/longitude. I might understand if you couldn’t select from a map like on the website, but you cannot even enter coordinates manually.
I’ll stick with the website for most uses unless/until the app is improved.

Good App but Has it’s Limitations
I recently saw a pair of Common Mergansers in the UK but the app didn’t give me the option to add the species from its list; instead I had to say I saw 2 Red-Headed Mergansers - the list of species needs updating.
I’d also like to share information with groups of friends to see which species of birds we have all spotted. It’ll be useful for information gathering for various Bird Watching groups.

Poor design
Unable to auto-populate location or weather which even the most basic of free general journaling apps are providing. Seriously! You are marketing your app for nature observations!
Totally avoid.

Really Basic Inadequate Functionality
You can’t even enter a geo location for an observation! A wildlife recording app where no longitude/latitude is a complete joke. Weather is nothing more than a free text notes field. Can’t add photos, no map. Very very basic and useless if you actually want to record useful details beyond species (with a few free text fields associated). Not really a wildlife app, bit of a waste of time.
Also, you can only record species that are included in validation lists. So forget insects, amphibians in most of the world, etc.
Also, orientation of some forms in iPad does not change to reflect the orientation of the device.
MS Excel is far more powerful.
Frustrating thing is it would be trivial development work to turn it into something useful.

Awesome but...
Love it but I wish I could attach photos on the app. I can on the web based version on the computer, but it sound be most helpful to do it live in the field.
