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..

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Some how add a link for the Weather eg Met Office or BBC Weather, for the particular day

This would be useful when exporting records for recording schemes. The six figure reference would be most useful, I think.

Some of the Englishcounties and most of the Welsh ones are missing, and could do with updating.

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.

It is already possible to import AviSys generated exports into Bird Journal with a few caveats:

This suggestion is to improve on this and provide first class import that "just works".

Neither entering the name without suggestions, or picking from a list is optimal

After you have pressed the 'done' button, to add a species to the observations, it would be convenient if the search field was emptied automatically, so you can start a new search right away

Allow photos added using the desktop version of Bird Journal to be viewed on the iPhone/iPad/Android versions.

Being a person who keeps lists a facility to create a list of seen wildlife be it Geographic, circumstances. This would include Country, County Local Patch etc. I actually note wildlife I see from aircraft [sad I know] so I miss this facitlity.

It would be useful to be able to customise the graph on the Summary Page as I have little use for birds seen last day, last month etc so would like to take them off. However I would like fields like UK list, European list etc. Having facilities to customise this will be great as people can get the counts they want as soon as they go into the program.
