Ratings and reviews

Very comprehensive. You find the very odd crossed link or some other adjustment but the data appears to be completely locked as is. Still very good though

I sent an email to the developer regarding the search function not searching when the return key had been pressed (my own fault) I had to tap the little magnifying glass. However, upon receiving the reply, I learned that he has added the return button search function to a new update!! Honestly, absolutely fantastic support. In 15 or so years, I've never had this experience. Brilliant !! Thank you.

Interface is very nice, but it irritated me that there is no option to set the date of a sighting to today automatically, or to log the time at all, and when restoring backups your it selects the folder under your finger immediately after you stop scrolling, which did get on my nerves. However, the virtual book is a pleasure to use, especially with the community-sourced images. Overall I'll stick with my current spotting app (SpotLog), but with a little more refinement I may well try this again!
