Meets user needs!
A very nice app, representing a big addition to the category! Using in Live mode, would like to see the full session list rather than just the current bird. The full list is available only after stopping, at least what I’ve been able to do.
Love this app and its clear positioning- Professional Bioacoustics in your Pocket.

Excellent functionality, and very responsive in addressing initial issues
Update: The export issue described below has been promptly resolved!
Original review: I was excited to see this app and very much appreciate the functionality and well thought out design, but so far the export function is not working properly for me. The problem is that it does not follow the export settings I’ve selected (and I’ve adjusted them on the overall settings menu as well as the settings menu accessed from the Session Review screen). I have it set to export gpx and audio files, but it does not include either in the zip file—it still only includes a selections.txt file, a metadata.json file, and an HTML report. The app will be much less useful if I can’t export the audio files. Nonetheless I hugely appreciate the effort behind it and recognize it’s still in beta so I’m sure this will be resolved eventually!

Great features, but app updates erase the audio from recordings EDIT: thank you for fixing this!
I have been trying this app out and comparing it to Merlin, and it’s been fun to play around with it as well as see the variety of ways I can use it. Unfortunately, every time I install an app update (twice now), it erases the audio I recorded and it’s gone. I don’t know where it went, but I’m not happy because I had some nice audio and now it’s gone. I don’t feel comfortable recording in the app if this happens.
EDIT: thank you for the prompt response! The update fixed it and my recordings are back. A++ service!

Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback, and I'm sorry about the lost recordings — you found a real bug. On iOS, app updates can change the internal storage path, so the app lost track of audio that was actually still on your device. I've fixed this in the next update: it stops the problem going forward and should automatically restore your previous recordings when you update (as long as you update over the app rather than deleting/reinstalling it). Thanks for helping improve the app!
