Great but needs updating

I would give it 4.7 if that were possible. Great resource, solid interface, high quality just like the book, wonderful to have every species that’s been seen in N. America (I live in AZ and often go to FL and TX). Great images, and nice they’ve integrated the Peterson mode of noting field marks (and you can disappear them with a tap!). Handy listing tool, though I’m not yet willing to trust an app to track multi-years of my sightings (my iPhone 5s crashed a few weeks ago, inexplicably wouldn’t take my security code, had to zap it and start again, lost recordings and other stuff that didn’t backup). But great for counting species/numbers for CBCs, day trips, etc. The only problem I see with this app, to date, is the lack of updating to accommodate the iPhone 6 and all its extra real estate—even the smaller bigger phone. Cuts off the images an inch or so before the screen ends, whether vertical or horizontal—just a white space where there should be bird. Frustrating, especially for older eyes. I hope they get on this soon. Still, its tough to beat this app for having virtually everything you need, regardless of your skill level.
