bird alert Pro 4+

This is useful for receiving alerts but I find when I go to click on an alert the app crashes, every time. If you load a message from the general news but it’s find, but not from my alerts.
(Phone software is fully up to date)

Had the App for a couple of weeks now.
It’s ok when it works but was very difficult to set up initially. Kept telling me to log in when I already was.
After reinstalling it I finally got it to work but it crashes almost every day.
Sometimes I find it easier to just go online and pick up the news directly from the BirdAlert website.

I approached RBA about such an app some while ago, before it was in the pipeline I suspect, so was hugely hopeful when I found out this was to be released.
First the service, I have been an RBA service user for 20 years and they are second to none, news is more reliable than all the competition, though obviously not perfect, far fewer errors slip through, undoubtedly due to the expertise of the team.
Second the techie bit, does exactly what I want, gives me the news as I require, the filtering is superb and I can get alerts for all the species and areas I am interested in as well as all the national news.
The maps and directions are very useful, the news and species search facilities are great. Photos too are top class.
It is more economical than my pager, which is a real advantage in these cash strapped times.
Downsides: slightly slower than the pager service but not too much so, sometimes messages do not want to load due to server errors, a pain but again does not normally last too long, relies on phone signal which can be patchy in some areas but this is also a positive as the messages will always get delivered eventually unlike missed pager messages.
On balance I am very happy with the app, with continued phone development (4G) it can only get better.
