Shortly after it came out, I got iBird Pro which I installed on an iPod.
Eventually the iPod became dated and I was no longer able to update the
operating system. After that happened (I do not recall whether it was
immediate or after some delay), I was no longer able to update the app.
Thus, while the app still works, I am stuck with the information (such as
updates to the nomenclature) and functionalities in place at the time I was
locked out.
