What's New in fink

1.3.0

August 26, 2026

Faster, calmer, and a new start. The map used to keep computing even when nothing was happening. That is fixed: it now comes to rest, and your location is no longer polled at full precision every second. You will notice it in battery life and temperature. New • A new welcome screen: fink greets you with the living map instead of an off-the-shelf landscape. • The map opens in a view that actually shows something. Tap the map icon to tilt between flat and angled, double tap to return to the default view. • Chat now supports photos, locations, your own sightings, bird cards, reactions, replies, editing and deleting. Use @ to mention people. • New "Performance" settings page: choose how many pins each map draws, separately for live map, guild and globe. • The full-screen globe filters by favorites, "not in atlas" and friends. • New map filters: friends only, not in atlas, just now. Improved • A bird that does not occur at your location now requires a photo as proof. • Wiki search works in both languages: "Common Blackbird" and "Amsel" both find the same bird. • Proof photos taken of a camera display are now accepted. Fixed • Crashes when zooming out and when opening chat or guilds. • Freezes of several seconds and permanently high battery drain. • The keyboard covered the chat input. • On Android: blurry bird heads, blotchy atlas birds, pins that only appeared after zooming out, picker wheels that would not spin, and headings in the wrong font. Plus more than a hundred smaller fixes!

Eine tolle App

Momentan mein täglicher Begleiter. Das Design gefällt mir sehr gut und sieht auch noch sehr hübsch und liebevoll aus🪶

Endlich eine Birding-App die sich nicht anfühlt wie aus den 2000ern!!

Ich beobachte seit Jahren Vögel und habe so ziemlich jede App und Plattform durch. Die meisten sind entweder auf reine Wissenschaft ausgelegt oder optisch stehengeblieben. Die App ist schnell, aufgeräumt und intuitiv, ohne dass man sich durch verschachtelte Menüs kämpfen muss. Das persönliche Artenverzeichnis macht richtig süchtig. Jede neue Art fühlt sich an wie ein kleiner Erfolg, den man sammelt und behält. Man merkt in jedem Detail, dass hier Leute am Werk sind, die Ahnung haben und viel Liebe zum Detail. Viel Erfolg!

Endlich eine wahre Konkurrenz zu ornitho!

Auf so eine Vogelerfassung App habe ich schon lange gewartet! Ein liebevoll gestaltetes Design hat das Team geschaffen und Vögel sind einfach zu melden und somit kann jeder seine persönliche Live Liste erstellen. Eine tolle Zusatzfunktion ist die Community, um sich untereinander auszutauschen. Das Vogel, Wikipedia umfasst 903 Vogelarten, was sehr beachtlich ist und alle europäischen Arten abdeckt. Ganz klare Empfehlung!
