## Bird Journal Reviews in United Kingdom

### ****- "Needs updating"
App not matching birds for uk. Cannot add recent sightings of Boobys etc. 
when will it be updated to current species naming conventions and sightings.
-- Markus matey, 2023-08-31

### ****- "Good App but Has it’s Limitations"
I recently saw a pair of Common Mergansers in the UK but the app didn’t give me the option to add the species from its list; instead I had to say I saw 2 Red-Headed Mergansers - the list of species needs updating. 

I’d also like to share information with groups of friends to see which species of birds we have all spotted. It’ll be useful for information gathering for various Bird Watching groups.
-- SimonJones1987, 2021-12-04

### *---- "Poor design"
Unable to auto-populate location or weather which even the most basic of free general journaling apps are providing. Seriously! You are marketing your app for nature observations!

Totally avoid.
-- DRBS1, 2020-08-22

### *---- "Really Basic Inadequate Functionality"
You can’t even enter a geo location for an observation! A wildlife recording app where no longitude/latitude is a complete joke. Weather is nothing more than a free text notes field. Can’t add photos, no map. Very very basic and useless if you actually want to record useful details beyond species (with a few free text fields associated). Not really a wildlife app, bit of a waste of time.

Also, you can only record species that are included in validation lists. So forget insects, amphibians in most of the world, etc. 

Also, orientation of some forms in iPad does not change to reflect the orientation of the device.

MS Excel is far more powerful. 

Frustrating thing is it would be trivial development work to turn it into something useful.
-- .Psamathe, 2020-03-19

### ***** "Very intuitive"
It’s great!! Very simple to use
And the support from the Bird Journal team was excellent when I sent a question .
I imagine the premium would be very interesting if you had a lot of data or imported your prior records.
-- puzzledbirder, 2019-01-07

### *---- "Rip off"
Just upgraded to premium, and none of the promised additional features are available on the app! The app is exactly the same, just my pocket is lighter!
-- Mark_111222, 2018-12-28

### ****- "Would be useful to be able to share a trip"
I love this app after a few days use. 

I would love to be able to share Entries with another user of the app... If you’re out with a friend you could record on one phone and then share with the friend later.
-- Kentish Lass, 2018-05-17

### ****- "Great Journal"
Very good journal that is easy to use. Like the cross-platform capability. Hope the authors bring out a version for iOS that will show the pics upload via the desktop version.
-- Doc_Croc, 2017-10-06

### ***** "Bringing order to my bird list"
This was an app I didn't know I needed - until I started using it to record observations in the field. Now I am a convert, and have even started entering all my old bird lists formerly kept in notebooks and scraps of paper. Very easy to use - and great to have the list automatically synchronised between iPhone iPad and mac. Even the "free" version is very functional.
-- Travel_Junkie, 2017-07-12

### ***** "Easy to use - good support"
After having used another app for logging I have recently moved to this one and find it far easier and intuitive. Logging is straightforward and looking at previous lists is simple. In addition when I had a query it was answered quickly with another follow up email later to check if all was still ok. Fully recommended.
