June 2021 update

Location services must be enabled for the app to work. Otherwise, the app gets stuck while "getting your nest in order, step 3 of 7."

New Version is much better (May 2021)

The new version in May 2021 is a major improvement and has allowed me to use the App again! I have a large collection of nest boxes and earlier this year the old app became unusable. This upgrade came just in time to let me keep working in the field! The photo management is much smoother, the map, filtering, and summary pages are quick and I have yet to crash!

Thank You!

Great update! Easier to use and nice new features

Excellent update that makes it much easier to enter nest observations. Love the new dark mode - makes it easier to see in the bright sun. Also, notable improvements to the map and adding new nests.
