    This update is about the checklist, the species page and subspecies.
    
    Checklist
    • The list is now a grid, with four ways to reach it, search on the tab, and a keyboard that opens right away
    • Subspecies sit under their species and open from the grid
    • Sort by what is most your target species, and see per species where its months come from
    
    Species page
    • The rarity ladder shows how common or rare a species is in your region
    • "How is this species doing" now reads sources that count birds rather than reports. For the Netherlands those are the Red List and the official reporting
    • The world distribution map is now in the app too
    
    Subspecies
    • 21 subspecies have a name of their own and 22 have their own icon
    • While logging you can see when there is something to determine, through a chooser sheet instead of a long list
    
    Target species
    • A list of the species you are still looking for, and a sighting remembers that it was your target at the time
    
    Also
    • Sharing gives you the same card on your phone as in the browser, ready for Instagram
    • Searching the species list now works without a connection, and identifications you make offline still come through
    • The app starts faster, because the splash no longer waits for the species list
    
    Fixed
    • Your own list sometimes showed other people's public sightings as well
    • The splash could hang when Firebase was slow to start
    • The distribution map was too pale because it divided by the busiest cell
    • The like count was missing in the gallery and on the sighting detail
    • One failed upload stalled the whole queue
