This is a great app for North American hobbyists, and I especially love the calls and songs for the various birds. I had a great "conversation" with a tufted titmouse by playing the song he was singing, and he popped down to our campsite for a closer look. Stellar!
But the Journals Events logging feature is buggy. Adding a new bird to an existing Event causes that event -- and all the birds logged to it -- to disappear. Very uncool. I was able to replicate this problem, and finally resorted to the old-fashioned paper and pen.
The Quiz feature is also a bit odd. It gives you, say, 10 questions which you answer, and then if you get any answers wrong, it just tells you that youve missed something without telling you which questions were answered incorrectly. Im not quite sure how Im supposed to learn from that experience.
Keep to the basic functionality and its a great app. Just dont stray too far off the primary purpose...
