I love the NestWatch program, and the new design of the app is much more intuitive. It also seems to run more smoothly on my phone. However, it starts up in dark mode each time, which is very hard to read while out in the field. I keep turning dark mode off, but it's back each time I reopen the app. I'd like to be able to set a preference for which mode it defaults to, instead of having to change it every time.

Just imputted my first report of the year; I installed the app after last year's nesting season concluded. Very easy to use - I suspect I might use this more than the website! I'll have to wait and see how it goes with adding Participant photos. Update - still a great and easy to use app, but the photos I took from the last few visits have not yet uploaded. That's my only complaint about it.

Hi Emilee,
Thanks for the review. If you are uploading over a cellular connection, it may take some time depending on the speed and quality of your connection. Try restarting the upload from the photo's overview page.
If you still experience issues after restarting the upload (using WiFi if possible), please contact us at NestWatch@cornell.edu

I'm trying to enter all the information for my Nest box trail at home before I go out. It's frustrating that I can't edit it. I would like to change the name of the nest, so that I can list each one with a number, since there are 14 boxes. I can't edit the nam, and it keeps using my home location. I have uninstalled it and will try again, but I don't know if it will work with my account that I already set up. There should be a way to delete a box without archiving if you make a mistake.

Hi Robyn, Thanks for your feedback. The app is meant to pair with your online account-it is a replacement for paper data sheets, so there are some account functions not available on the app. Please sign in to NestWatch.org to make major edits and delete any erroneous data. Email nestwatch@cornell.edu if you have any questions, we're happy to help!
