Original release notes

Birds of the world — the full catalogue is now in the app.

• Browse the taxonomy from orders down to species: photos, size, traits and where the bird lives.
• Listen to recordings from xeno-canto right on the species page, with the recordist and licence next to every track.
• Compare two species side by side.
• Countries: checklists with endemics and rare species — and a side-by-side comparison of any two countries.
• Import your eBird life list from the CSV export. Running the same file twice creates no duplicates.
• The catalogue is open without an account — sign up when you want to save your first sighting.
• A new intro sets up your country, your location and your first species in a minute.
• Rare birds near you now have their own card on the home screen.
• Links to species and countries open straight in the app.
• Offline mode: create and edit diaries, observations, places, and settings without an internet connection — everything syncs automatically once you're back online.

Plus the usual: faster syncing and a lighter download.
