Virtually unusable here on the go, as it is designed for, due to lack of mobile service. Even offline checklists continue to seek for a location until the battery dies. I only use it when Inside the camp with satellite dish internet (none too good either compared to proper WIFI). But the app would be the way most eBirders submit checklists now and, as you said, most likely what the data entry changes are centreed around. > > Nancy D > > Sent from my iPad > >> On Oct 26, 2019, at 10:01 AM, Kevin Lantz <klantz@ns.sympatico.ca> wrote: >> >> >> I agree with Richard, for app users it’s not a big deal as uploading photos requires logging on with a different device and making the changes after the checklist has been submitted.

It is definitely much more awkward and slow to load photos and audios as it takes multiple steps instead of just one. I suspect it has something to do with the efficiency of processing by the ever-growing database (or some other background big data crunching) that we end users do not quite understand. Maybe someone has more info on the whys for this recent change? >> >> Nancy D >> >> > On Oct 26, 2019, at 12:48 AM, James Hirtle <jrhbirder@hotmail.com> wrote: >> > >> > I guess I'm behind on E-bird entries by three months. I do not like the changes that were made since I last logged in. The process for attaching pictures especially. I found it convenient to be able to attach pictures as I entered my data. It was fast and efficient. Now you have to complete data entry and then go and put your pictures in place. Loading of the pictures is far slower and clarity of the photo is lacking in comparison to what we had before. The system has been made bulky and awkward. >> > >> > James R.
