Earlier this week BirdLife Australia released their Wetland Birds Field Guide iOS app. The app is extremely attractive and functional, providing drawings & photographs, detailed descriptions, distribution maps, endangered status and calls for the 63 non-passerine species found in and around the wetlands of South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania. These include Cranes, Storks, Egrets, Herons, Crakes, Rails, Hens, Ibis, Spoonbills, Cormorants, Waterfowl and the Shorebirds (or waders) that are commonly found away from the coast. The app can be download for free from: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/wetland-birds-field-guide/id871698648?mt=8 *Neil Shelley* _______________________________________________ Birding-Aus mailing list Birding-Aus@birding-aus.org To change settings or unsubscribe visit: http://birding-aus.org/mailman/listinfo/birding-aus_birding-aus.org

Please CC wetlandbirdsapp@birdlife.org.au when providing feedback, as I have done on this message (should have thought of that in the first place!).

Hi Neil et al, The good elves must have been at work over night. I have just turned on my iPad and it works. Looks like an excellent app and the price is very competitive. Must load it onto my iPod now.

Joseph, Unfortunately it’s not currently possible to stop an audio once it starts. The only thing I can suggest in the short term is the mute button on the device. *Neil* On Saturday, 24 May 2014, Joseph Morlan <jmorlan@gmail.com> wrote: _______________________________________________ Birding-Aus mailing list Birding-Aus@birding-aus.org To change settings or unsubscribe visit: http://birding-aus.org/mailman/listinfo/birding-aus_birding-aus.org
It took ages to download on my iPhone but looks complete.

I just installed on both my iPad and iPhone and I do not see anything missing. Looks fine to me except I cannot figure out how to interrupt or stop the audio once it starts playing.

Hi Carl I don’t know what you have downloaded but all looks fine and functional to me. Nice job Neil and co.

Hi Carl, No, it is the production version. Do you know how to remove the app from running in the background on the iPad? If so, do that and restart it – it should load properly the second time. If not, let me know what version of iOS you are using and I’ll advise you how to do it. We have seen this problem a couple of times already on iPads and are working on a fix, but it loads fine on an iPhone/iPod Touch. *Neil Shelley* On 23 May 2014 22:53, Carl Clifford <carlsclifford@gmail.com> wrote: _______________________________________________ Birding-Aus mailing list Birding-Aus@birding-aus.org To change settings or unsubscribe visit: http://birding-aus.org/mailman/listinfo/birding-aus_birding-aus.org
Hi Neil, Is this a Beta? I have just downloaded it onto my iPad and half of the bird groups appear to have no content and most of the menu bar icons are non-functional.
