Date picker looks backwards (not forwards)
On the date picker, when you click on the date, it brings up a screen that has 3 1/2 years of months making it easier to select a date but the dates start on the current year and go forwards 3 1/2 years.
I can't imagine there would be any requirement to add sightings in the future. At the moment I have to scroll backwards with my mouse wheel which is only a small problem but it would speed the input up, and makes sense, to have the current year and the previous 3 1/2 years to pick from (rather…

Filter Locations when adding entries
When creating an entry it would be good to be able to filter the list of locations the same way you can do for adding sightings.
I have a large number of locations and when I am looking for an existing location it is a pain to have to scroll down the list to find the one I want to use

Allow searching in notes (entry and species)
While properties works well for direct entry it does not work for records imported from other programs where they are or become notes. It would be very handy to be able to search notes for a word or two to assist in editing those records.

Entry property is required
When you create custom entry properties it would be good to force them to be required or not. It is very easy when you start listing in a new entry to forget to enter a property. If this was required when you start a new entry (or not) that would make life much easier and allow this customization to work as intended.

Allow choosing another similar or nearby site for a filtered checklist option
It is very much easier using a checklist when you already have entries for the site. If you expect a very similar range of species at a new site, this would help on early visits.

Saving species entry on mobile version
It is much easier to select species from a list filtered by birds previously seen in the specific location. Unfortunately when the species added are saved, that filter is is lost when you want to add more species to the sighting, meaning you either have to filter every time you edit, or not save until you are finished adding (which could be a few hours in a location).
Two suggestions to get around this:
1. Keep the filters on after saving. This would probably need a change to the saved entry.or
- On the species entry screen, when save is…

Consolidate entries of same Date and Location
When I imported from another database, separate entries were created for the same date and location due to different property fields being assigned (such as singing, photograph, heard only). It would be nice to consolidate multiple entries to a single entry.

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

Species List photo indicator
On Species list view - Have a flag or indicator that a photo/s is held for that species, and have a capability to filter to show species with photos.
1 voteWe intend to add the photo icon for species and locations list items.
The ability to filter would be nice – I’ve created a separate suggestion for this:
http://support.birdjournal.com/forums/262707-general/suggestions/11174589-allow-to-filter-entries-species-and-locations-scrThis suggestion should be considered to mean only for showing the icon.
UPDATE 2016/03/05: This is blocked for now as it’s too “expensive” to work out. Further changes are needed to do this without slowing down the software.

Allow to filter entries, species and locations screens to only those with photos
I suspect this will be most useful on the species screen to quickly get a list of species photographed. Would it be useful for the entries and locations screens too?

Change order of pictures
There should be an option for changing the order of pictures after you have uploaded them to Bird Journal. Mabye you would have wanted picture number three displayed first.
The solution as of today is to delete the pictures, and upload them again in the desired order.

Selecting an observation in checklist view
When in checklist view in BJ5 beta, entering a species code in the Search field will filter the checklist column to show just that species, but then selecting that species requires the user to click or tap that specific item in the checklist column. Instead, when the checklist has been filtered to a single entry in this way, it should be possible to select it by simply hitting enter, as it is in non-checklist view
1 voteGreat suggestion. I think there are a few keyboard only improvements we can make generally for the checklist view.

Custom Life Lists for chosen countries visited
Currently we are unable to choose custom Regions such as creating a Western Palearctic list to then pick from countries visited to show a Life List for this for example that can also be shown in Graphs on checklists or Country lists.
Related to this is the current limitations to only pick from a single visited site to see total species seen, but this doesn't scale with likes of United States where the Outer Lying Islands of USA form one of the US States but you cant choose from a list of multiple countries.(I think from Memory that Mexico is…1 vote -

Species Mapping
As over the years I have used various taxonomies such as Clements, IOC, BOU and ABA, inevitably issues can arise in the mapping of these species between taxonomies and errors can creep into species lists. For example Setophagea petechia is Yellow Warbler in the BOU taxonomy but in the IOC taxonomy it is Mangrove Warbler. In IOC American Yellow Warbler is Setophaga aestiva. To help spot any such issues it would be helpful if in the species window, in the box where a species taxonomy and other details are shown, for the species name in the secondary taxonomy to be…
