Lite version a joke

This version is really just a demo. So don’t download expecting to use for birding. Only has one or two birds in each broad section.

Response from developer

Hi Wildlife. Thank you for your review. You are right - it is just a demo so users can know what the Full app looks like, the content per species etc. We do make this quite clear (with the number of species etc.) in the description. Did you try the Full version?

I downloaded the free Lite version for a test drive. It is not a good advert for the complete version - missing or faulty birdcalls - so I wont be buying it.
