Great premise. Can't enter data!!

I was excited to try out this app with our education and keeper staff. I can't get past the entry page for species, location and name. The entry pad stays over the entry blocking the next button. Please fix!

Very useful app

Although designed for 11 year olds and up this does have some potential in higher level studies. The ability to export data to excel allows for more complex analysis to be carried out. The ability to export custom ethograms to be opened in excel or word would be a useful feature as would the ability to incorporate samples of more than one individual to allow you to scan and record what a number of individuals are doing at any one time.

Observe to learn From the Lincoln park zoo

I loved the app the first time I used it but I have been unable to load a new ethogram and this issue makes it difficult to utilize it effectively.
Please fix the issue!

This app is not working

I am using an iPad, and this app does not let me create an ethogram. Please fix this.
