iPhone App is here!

OK, exciting night for the Birdpost team. The iPhone App just went live on iTunes. If you go to iTunes, just type "Birdpost" and you can download the App for free. Your sightings will go right on to the Birdpost maps and on to your Lifelists. Very cool!! Positive reviews are appreciated, and please send us your feedback so we can continue to improve it. The iPhone is very restrictive with what they allow you to do design-wise, but we think this is a good start.

Very nice application - I had a go with it today and enjoyed using it.

Some observations:
- the application says that the siting is reported successfully - this siting shows up on the website but not the location or the time/date. The location only appears when I click on the "map" button on the website. The date needs to be input. This is a slow process (and both should be automatic without any need to return to the website)

- it would be useful if the search list had various selection levels that could be preset for the whole time or on occasion (eg the United Kingdom set, bird families etc)

- there is obviously lots of potential for the search list (eg with small photos / with scientific names / as an identifier / etc)

A great start with lots of further potential. Thanks for the application.

I love the birdpost app! It's great to find out what other birders have spotted in the area, and perfect for keeping track of your own sightings.

I just got the app and already I like it. But for those of us that don't know the names of birds without carrying a book, it would be great to be able to see images to confirm that what we're reporting is tagged as the right bird. That would be a great enhancement for a future upgrade.
