Lifebirds Journal provides birders with powerful tools for recording, displaying, and sharing sighting data. An intuitive interface allows you to enter detailed sighting information quickly for any of the more than 10,000 bird species worldwide. Features include:
• Minimal text input to enter details such as: location info (locale, city, state, country, region and GPS coordinates), subspecies, date/time, detailed bird counts by age and sex, and additional sighting notes.
• Voice memos, which can be used to quickly record field notes.
• Local storage on your device of all the information on bird species and your sightings so that an Internet connection is not required to enter or retrieve sightings.
• Retrieval of sightings lists and the unique birds that you have seen by any combination of date range, location, and species’ family.
• Sightings lists displayed on-screen or exported via email in spreadsheet format.
• Custom checklists.
• An up-to-date database of all of the world’s bird species from the IOC World Bird Names List, a cooperative project among ornithologists worldwide sponsored by the International Ornithologists’ Union.
• Flexible and powerful search technology to easily find bird species including: restricting search to one of ten world regions; searching by using any part of the name; finding the IOC name even when an alternative English names is entered; and, in the AOU region, searching by using 4-letter alpha codes.
• An option to display the English names used in North American field guides when they differ from the IOC names.

“Great app - Really good app. and a great way of keeping a record whilst out in the field”

“Excellent bird log - I used this on a trip to the USA. All birds I saw were in the the Database and they were easy to log. It was / is perfect for my needs and you can quickly get your list exported and e-mailed if you wish.”

From the U.S.A.:

“This app is great! It's got all the birds and it's very easy to use. The app is intuitive and helpful. ….. very few clicks are needed to add a sighting for the same location. …..All-in-all, this is a great app for both serious and beginning birdwatchers!”

“ Great bird sightings journal - I started using this app during the Great Backyard Bird Count and am now a convert. The app is easy to use, has all the functions I could ever need and will also be great to use on trips outside the US.”

“it is very impressive….. Your tool has far more features than I imagined …..and I think it has tremendous potential“

“Very effective - Nice app for keeping track of sightings, with the ability to reorganize into lists and multiple lists. …..you can reuse locations, so it's quicker than other apps I've used to record multiple species at one location.”
