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.

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.

Checklist Import
I would like to create my own regional checklist by importing from a spreadsheet. The main purpose is so that I can create a regional checklists with sub-species which the preloaded checklist don’t include. I envisage a process similar to how entries are imported into Bird Journal with species/subspecies being mapped to a chosen taxonomy. It would also be necessary to assign the checklist to a location.

include a location filter in the checklist filter
If the checklist filter also filters by relevant location (e.g. the "Birds of Britain" checklist filtering your sightings for all species on the checklist seen at locations in the UK) then the totals in the checklist graph will be accurate. In this way you can use checklists to generate list totals for a given geographic area (and compare list totals between different checklists).
2 votesThis is a bug that we intend to fix.

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

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

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.

Auto-download photos
Allow to automatically download and store photos to each copy of Bird Journal as part of the sync process.
Currently they're downloaded and stored as needed when viewed, or all-at-once using the "Download all Photos" item in the tools menu.

Allow bulk update between taxonomies
For example, maybe you want to switch to recording with IOC instead of Clements, maybe you want to use the version of a wildlife taxonomy from the library rather than a custom item.
This is separate from replacing individual species which will be completed as part of the taxonomy update work, now started: http://support.birdjournal.com/forums/262707-general/suggestions/11372313-update-ioc-clements-world-lists-taxonomy-changes

allow comparison between sightings in given years
i.e. for year 1 list sightings with comparison for year 2 highlighting sightings seen in both years and sightings seen only in year 1 or 2. Preferably with the option to specify a date range.

Automatically empty search field after a species has been added to the entries
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

Lists
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.

Allow customise Species Progress graphs on summary page
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.

Allow import/copy-paste on the taxonomy edit screen
Currently, you have to add data to the taxonomy editor by hand. It would be great to be able to import or copy-paste from a website/spreadsheet.
53 votesWe’re considering if we can make a basic form of this available fairly soon.
This may mean accepting only a predefined format that we’d have samples for.
Now that all library content is available to everyone this feature is even more valuable.

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…

Allow auto-renewing subscriptions for Europe
European tax law has changed, adding a lot of additional paperwork for us to continue selling into Europe (outside of the United Kingdom) from our website.
It is still possible to purchase single-year Bird Journal Premium subscriptions from our apps via the Apple AppStore or Google Play.
Please vote for this item if you would like us to resume selling auto-renewing subscriptions or gift certificates, Europe-wide, from our website.

Date range on entries
Allow to add an entry for a date range rather than a single date. This would be helpful when adding records where for example, only the year is known. Also when adding records from a multi-day trip.
