Love it

New app is terrific. Really great product! Only downside is it makes me want to leave work and go birding!

Excellent upgrade

Many new and improved features. I particularly like the ability to compare the songs over the years. And, to compare different species.

Improvement?

Apologies, but I don’t see this UI as a visual improvement over the original. The photos are off center sometimes falling off the screen altogether (and landscape orientation not available). Time will tell if performance is improved I guess but the original is gorgeous looking. All I see here is a lack of imagination.
