While I have not seen the app and so I cannot comment on its utility, the question I would ask whether it twice as good as Morcombe (i.e. $70 v $36)? As someone who currently uses Morcombe as a field guide and Birdlog ANZ for recording my sightings in the field, I would also question whether we need all the additional info that the P&K app provides, in one app. For example, while hotspots is nice to have, more up-to-date information on birding hotspots is freely available on Eremaea and eBird. For the very high price the developers are asking, I suggest they need to provide a free LITE version so people can have a look what is on offer as is the case with the Sibley app in the US.

I’ve also had fun playing with a beta version. Like you’ve said in the review, it maintains the look and feel of a field guide, but is so, so much more. I love the “key guide” identification, the ability to build multiple lists, and add to any of them, not just the latest one, and also to export lists. There is also an import list feature, but I haven’t been able to test that yet because I don’t have any program to convert CSV into a SQL file (and I don’t want to muck around in shell scripts). I think the calls are a little louder in this app than in Morcombe (to answer a question on your blog) but there are a few species not included. Still with both apps, we have a wonderful selection of calls for ID etc. Getting a checklist based on your location is another fantastic development: we should expect this in every serious birding app from now on. Pleased to see that it’s on the App Store now. Very keen to hear what other people think about this wonderful app. Russell Woodford On 21 November 2013 20:02, David Stowe Photography <photos@davidstowe.com.au > wrote: > If anyone is interested i have just posted a longer review including a few > screenshots of the new Pizzey & Knight Digital Edition on Feathers and > Photos. > I see that it is now available on iTunes in the App store too! > > > http://www.feathersandphotos.com.au/forum/showthread.php?27084-Pizzey-amp-Knight-Birds-of-Australia-Digital-Edition > > Cheers > David Stowe > =============================== > > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, > send the message: > unsubscribe > (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) > to: birding-aus-request@vicnet.net.au > > http://birding-aus.org > =============================== > =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) to: birding-aus-request@vicnet.net.au http://birding-aus.org =============================== =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) to: birding-aus-request@vicnet.net.au http://birding-aus.org ===============================
