Original release notes
New in 1.7.1 This one is about proof. • Rare birds can always be reported: a photo proves it right away, otherwise two confirmations on site • Without a photo, write briefly what tells you it is this species • Photos can be added to a pin later • "Legendary" now only means birds that really never occur here • Wiki photos with a date and place show up as grey pins on the map, with their own grey clusters • Remove species from your atlas • Photos missing a date or place: a to-do list in settings with a progress bar, plus the species page in your atlas • Place search when picking a spot for wiki photos, and your previous cameras as suggestions • Progress bar for photo uploads • "Still there?" only asks twelve hours after the pin was set • The "Likes" switch now also covers wiki photos and Bird News • Push notifications arrive more reliably Plus over 20 further improvements to the map, chat and atlas.
