Link mobile app to popular bird identification guides
This would be so that when I ID a bird using the bird identification guide, I can quickly add an entry to Bird Journal. Or maybe launch a specified guide ffrom within Bird Journal and capture the result.

Graphs: Comparing years
There should be graphs with several years for a species. This way you can compare when "invations" peaked from year to year, and it would be more intuitive check population trends.
One should be able to choose between max count or number of observations on the Y-axis.

Get mobile app to default to the nearest location when creating a new list
I've removed my votes from the "Remember the last used Locations" to this one as I think this is a better idea: When creating a new sightings list, it should to as the title says and default to the nearest location specified in the geotag. Of course, this could be overwritten by the user if required, but would save scrolling through a long list of locations (I have c.800).
This isn't important on the desktop version as typing in the first few characters will quickly give the location required.

Provide a scroll feature in the gallery screen
This would enable a user to more readily view their pictures. Perhaps a full screen option too?

Enable multiple species checklists to be active
In the mobile app it would be useful if more than one species checklist could be active, for example if birds, butterflies, and dragonflies could be open simultaneously, it would save constant switching between checklists in the field. It would be a useful feature on the PC too.

Set the GeoTag for a new location, when created in the field
When adding a new entry in the mobile app, it will create a new location for you, if the name doesn't match any existing location.
If live mode is enabled, this location should have it's GeoTag set via the GPS.
This would make submitting to BirdTrack, which requires GeoTags for all locations, much easier.
24 votesThis is a great idea. We’ll include this when updating mobile input screens.

Allow to share an entry with someone via Bird Journal
Can select Bird Journal users to share with, or just enter email addresses, allowing recipients to view shared entries with a free Bird Journal account.
Useful if you've gone birding in a group - only one person needs to keep a record of observations.

Include the number of individuals on the species page
I record counts, and I want to see how many individuals I've seen, in total, on the species screen.
This would be achieved by adding up all counts for the species on view.

Provide suggestions when entering location and species names in the mobile apps
Neither entering the name without suggestions, or picking from a list is optimal

Allow Public Browsing
I manage the observations for a local wildlife group / tour operator.
I would like to have a page people can visit to view and search through recent and historical observations.

Make adding a new observation quicker
- When you add a new observation set the initial count to 1, not zero (which is unlikely to be what is wanted).
- When I tap on the 'add note' button, a text entry box pops up but I have to tap again in the box to be able to enter text (Nexus 4, Android 5.1.1). Must be possible to go straight to text entry surely?

Sections in notes columns in entry
When I write notes for a specie in an entry I make columns. When I save this - the columns disappears and it becomes one text without space.
It should still be sections/paragraphs.

Creating and exporting trip reports
I would appreciate being able to create an entry or series of entries in a trip report format that could be exported in a choice of word or pdf document. This would enable me to share the trip report with others which may also help more birders to see how useful Bird Journal is.

Firsts Map
Introduce a new map that shows the location of firsts. By default it would show world lifers. Filtering would allow it to show firsts for a particular year or country.

create internal social networking
it would be nice to be able to add friends and see on your app what birds they are adding to their app as well. Like the untapped beer app but for birds

would it be possible, to allow common names to be listed, with second name first
Would it be possible, to allow common names to be optionally listed, with second name first, ie avocet, babbler, barbet, duck, eagle etc, to allow easy tracking of species in your lists?

Allow 'Count' type custom properties
In addition to custom properties of type Checkbox, DropDownList & Text, add a 'Count' type.
This allows to add individual properties for eg. Male Count, Female Count, Juvenile Count, etc, on a single observation.
The advantage over simply using a Text type property here, is that the counts would be added together automatically when reviewing observations. This is in addition to being presented separately too.
It also means counts would be available to use by population graphs, and be validated to only contain numeric values. This includes the use of + and c characters.

RSS Feed of records
I had an idea to be able to export records to a CMS template/Theme for either Wordpress or Joomla but Bird Journal have suggested an RSS feed (I presume from our cloud accounts). I like this idea and would like others to support if they like it too?
