Almost great
We need pictures of all birds. We should be able to choose a preset for quick sighting or new sighting because pressing “new sighting” should immediately open the keyboard. No Eared Grebe. No Ruff. No Ring Necked Pheasant. Rough legged Buzzard is wrong. It should be Hawk instead of Buzzard. No Common Raven. No Bank Swallow. No Yellow Rumped Warbler. No American Pipet. No House Sparrow. No European Starling.

Great on iPhone
Nice app for iPhone and iPad, sadly crashes on Mac
Exporting lists does not work
Okay in terms of recording lists, however the export function does not work, impossible therefore to back up your list which is vitally important.
Ordering
I think the bird ordering in Taxonomic should mirror the Collins Bird Guide.
Lots Of Stuff Missing
What's there is OK; trouble is there isn't much there. Very basic. Needs a lot more (eg maps of filtered sightings, better/more flexible location handling, long long list of missing features.
Development seems to have stopped, which is a real shame as database structure is good, UI hood, it's just like it was rushed out long before it was finished and bean counters said "can't afford more work on it". It' shortcomings reflect badly on the other apps from same developer, as this app is meant be be closely linked to Collins Bird Guide (sort of in in a crude way) and BWP (they say it is but it isn't and development stalled on that app as well!)
One excellent feature (only reason for 2 stars) is you can export and import your lists - excellent feature as bird recording is lifelong and apps are not normally and change so moving historical daya is crucial.
