Essential for Dutch birders Rapidly improving tool. Do make sure you download all the lists before you go out in the field.

At last : a useful tool for naturalists on the field ! Thanks a lot for this very useful tool. Smartphones are going to revolutionaries nature monitoring and tools such as this one are a blessing ! Keep up the good work !

Great app. But the species lists are not complete. How do you add species that are not in the list?
★★☆☆☆Veerle DS· May 7, 2019
This has been a great app for the past years, at least if it works. Since the last update (a few weeks ago), it crashes/stops on startup, while it should be compatible with my device. This means I cannot use it anymore. Please correct so that I can enjoy using this app again.

The old app was working like a charm. Ever since I made the update for a newer version things got very upsetting. Apart from slowly refreshing species lists, and the lack of that very convenient thing of the old app that memorized the last species recorded and on the input of the first letter it just popped the last species names that corresponded with said letter, I find it very hard to upload data on garnering. It just won't upload the entire list, just fractions of it at best. So way to go.

Worked well, but now getting pop-up to enable JavaScript, which is impossible in the app. Seems like a bad web app port forgot the option to enable JavaScript is not in the app.
