Sorting everywhere
It should be possible to sort any list by some criteria (e.g. date, location, species, etc.), just as it is now possible to filter most lists. Sorting by multiple criteria would useful (e.g. sort entry list by location + date). Sorting also allows for grouping, at least in reports (e.g. a species report grouped by date or location). Sorting/grouping would provide some interesting analysis abilities.

Allow sharing of a custom list with specific people rather than publish it.
It would allow small groups to share specific lists which dont warrant a more widely published list

Allow for custom properties on photos
Photo properties currently include GeoTag, Time, and Caption. I would like to be able to add custom properties to each photo (e.g. photo ID, photographer, etc.).

automatically making space for the next bird in an entry when the box is full with 15 (?) birds without having to fiddle about
automatically make space for the next bird on the entry as after about 15 birds you have to go through the process of moving the list up to make space for the next one., which slows adding birds and is annoying and time wasting. You may already have fixed this in the newer versions. Alastair

Allow display order of custom Observation/Entry properties to be changed
Currently these are displayed in the order that they were entered and cannot be changed. It would be nice to allow the ordering of these to be changed to something more logical afterwards.

Update the British Counties, especially in Wales.
Some of the Englishcounties and most of the Welsh ones are missing, and could do with updating.

Add facility to merge lists
I have imported data into Bird Journal from eBird and am finding that on some occasions (due to the way the data was uploaded to eBird) I have multiple entries for the same location on the same date. There's no way to combine this data to produce the 'composite' list for the day in question.

A filter for the earliest date of a spring migrant
A graph showing the earliest and latest date, for each year, of each spring migrant so that it would be easy to compare.

Add hybrids and/or sp to the list. For example, I sometimes bird in an area where Carolina and Black-capped Chickadees hybridize.
I would like to be able to add hybrids seen.Where I can't identify a bird down to species, I would like to be able to just choose Crow sp. or Chickadee sp. for example.

Allow PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format photos to be added, not just JPEG
PNG is a common format that does lossless compression.

Improve Wildlife Recorder Import
It's currently not possible to import "properties" such as, photographed, heard only, etc from Wildlife Recorder. This is because Bird Journal doesn't understand how they are listed in the exported file.
Import should be extended to cover the full range of properties available in Wildlife Recorder to make import as smooth as possible.

Keep filter when switching between species and entry screens etc.
At the moment when switching between the entries view and the species view (and other reports and views too) the filters are cleared. Can we keep them on switching, please? It's only a single button press to clear them, if that's what you wanted, but it is harder work to restore them.

More detailed analysis of reports
The new Reports feature in V5 is a major improvement and it gives the opportunity to make the most of a huge amount of data. At the moment you can only create a single report, but in future it would be use full to be able to create multiple reports and combine them
e.g. 1.what species were common between two trips and what were different?
2. How often do two species occur together in entries?
3. At what locations have I seen these species?2 votes -
Date range filtering for export screen
In the version 5 full software, it is possible to filter by date range. This doesn't extend to the export screen though, which still has just year/month filters.

Date range filtering for mobile apps
Allow a range of dates, not just year & month, to be selected when filtering in the mobile apps.
It is currently only possible to do this using the version 5 full software.
The same flexibility in terms of: year to year, year-month to year-month and exact date ranges should be available.

Allow to easily import from AviSys
It is already possible to import AviSys generated exports into Bird Journal with a few caveats:
http://support.birdjournal.com/knowledgebase/articles/733845-importing-records-from-avisysThis suggestion is to improve on this and provide first class import that "just works".

Add an Ordnance Survey grid reference tool (and perhaps Vice County too!)
This would be useful when exporting records for recording schemes. The six figure reference would be most useful, I think.

Sync to eBird & BirdTrack
Bird Journal's import/export from/to eBird & BirdTrack are pretty good.
It's not possible to do this from the mobile apps though.
What would be better is if you could "link" your account to your eBird & BirdTrack accounts, and Bird Journal would take care of "syncing" your records to those systems automatically, and prompting you to review something when needed.
22 votesThis is something we’re considering. For technical reasons we’d need to hold a copy of your eBird/BirdTrack password to make this possible.
Is that something you’d be comfortable with?
It’s obviously not ideal, but we’d make sure everything is fully secure.
