I agree with Richard, for app users it=E2=80=99s not a big deal as uploadin=
g photos requires logging on with a different device and making the changes=
after the checklist has been submitted. Perhaps they are catering to app u=
sers or even nudging folks towards them because of the immediacy of data su=
bmissions.=20
As for the app itself, the latest changes make it easier to use, just one c=
lick to start a checklist, no need to select a location as that can be done=
as the checklist is submitted.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Hate Changes To E-Bird
I actually like the changes to eBird, and once I got used to them, also the=
new way the Android app on my phone works. There is a great eBird discussi=
on group on Facebook, with all kinds of ideas and input, questions answered=
etc.
