iBird Journal: Listing Birds of North America App Reviews

Love the app, but wish it linked to the other iBird apps for info (if you own them).

Great idea but you have to love bugs to fully enjoy it! Freezes when changing date or location. Bummer.

Not user friendly! Maps location does not find common areas. No opportunity to load your own pictures.

Like the product. Especially the GPS features. List syncing is a little odd, but over all a must on the iPhone!

I am a huge iBird fan, having purchased the whole family of products. The lack of either icloud syncing (the gold standard) or Dropbox syncing (acceptable) is a huge problem for me in the journal product. I am constantly moving between devices during the day and want to be able to update lists and checklists from any device. This app only allows manual backup and restore from Dropbox. Please, if you are going to do Dropbox do it like 1Password and actively sync the content. Users have been requesting syncing for several years. Please implement ASAP.

This is a great app for what it is: a basic birding journal. It is not for pros, and I understand the lack of syncing is a negative for some. I carry my iPhone with me all the time, and dont go on birding safaris; I just journal them as I see them. It is a great feature to add on to iBird Ultimate.
