The website is not clear where you should go to get the download. I have just logged on and received an error message saying sync has failed and i should download the latest version but where is it?

1. Species List
   Currently these appear in alpha order but this means all warblers etc are "shuffled" amongst list.
   It would be preferable if all the related species appeared together.

E.g. Warbler Arctic

        Warbler          Reed

        Warbler          Ruppell’s         

        Warbler          Sedge

        Warbler          Willow

It would be more user friendly to have the option to chose the type of sequence in which the species are listed i.e. to have all warblers one after the other.

The same with doves / finches / gulls etc
Is there a way that this can be done?

Report that lets you view which species seen in past years have not yet been seen in the current year.

It is quite normal for birders to have a WP life list (as opposed to Europe). How easy is it for you (or me) to create?

For larger flocks of Gulls or Geese allow for an observation of Larus spp. or Branta spp. (or some similar, lower level identification). This would allow for better integration with eBird and data collection.

Whilst adding my older records on the desktop I'm having to use a map app on my phone to find sites where I've seen certain birds as it's quicker than having to flick between the 2 map options available. A hybrid option which is used on the app would be an excellent addition and save me and others time.

As a cruiser I have records of many seabird species from Antarctica to Arctic. Having Ocean as Parent it would be easier to place eg Bering Sea in Pacific.

In countries using the metric system such as Australia it would be extremely useful to be able to select metric values rather than converting acres to hectares and miles to kilometres. Its sometimes just a little frustrating..

I am using the android app for survey entry in the field (yay notebook never leaves pocket!!). It would be extremely useful once a species is entered in an entry to have a increment button in the entry list to simply add to the count for a selected item in the species list as a new bird is encountered rather than having to enter the species and change the count.

Add an indicator on the Species Report to show if there is at least one photograph for that species in any entry. As it is a report it doesn't much matter if it makes the report a bit slower, but there could be a checkbox to turn the feature off.

Have the means of printing a report/list of sightings to paper via a word doc or rtf that is more economical with paper more like Avisys used to do.

It would be nice to be able to attach PDF-files to observations.

When working a site it would be useful to be able to keep the site filter on. Each time after a save you need to reapply filter

You have been on a trip added all your birds, you get home now you want to move them to sub species. At the moment this is a very slow job.

Similar to the newly added Lifer! and Year First! badges, allow firsts for a country, locatation, patch or region to be indicated.

Country First could be added pretty easily.

For patch/locations we'd need to customise which locations you wanted to show firsts for. Perhaps by allowing you to "Favorite" locations? Favorite locations could also show counts on the summary screen.

What do you think? Let us know your requirements & preferences in the comments.

Create a special property "Exclude" that removes a record from all totals, badges etc. This would allow people to include thins like heard-only, NTVs, escapes etc., but not have them added to totals etc.
