About this app

eBird Mobile makes it easy to record the birds you see in the field, and seamlessly link these observations with eBird--a global online database of bird records used by hundreds of thousands of birders around the world. This free resource makes it easy to keep track of what you see, while making your data openly available for scientific research, education, and conservation. eBird Mobile is the only app that passes information directly from the Android device to your eBird account on the web.

- Real-time feedback on whether a sighting is rare in the area.
- Quick entry tools to make note-taking faster than ever before.

Since no one answers emails- there is a major bug that causes ended checklists to restart when reopening the app in a new area. This is during the PA bird atlas so it forces the checklist outside of the block. This is really messed up for people who don't know to edit the track or who don't notice it has happened! It's been going on for ages and it's literally going to mess up data for the Atlas and ebird in general. Please fix it!

Ok app, but it has limitations that make it difficult to use. My biggest gripe is the lack of being able to save a hotspot, to say a list of favorites, and be able to quickly go to that and see recent checklists submitted. It's painful to do this simple action with the current app. I'm not looking for a single species, and I'm not near the hotspots I might want to visit, i e. more than 30 miles away.

The new interface looks terrible. They took what was an aesthetically pleasing thing to look at and as with the Merlin app update, turned it into a super bland page that essentially looks blank with a little text. please get a new design team that understands how to make things look better, not worse. oversimplification is destroying everything. The functionality still seems to work, but the new look ain't it.
