I have at least five apps from eBird/Merlin, some of which I have paid for. Unfortunately, it seems that each app is independent from each other and the same app on two devices do not sync with each other. I use IOS as these apps are created for, so dont tell me that I have to go to a laptop to make any changes. Why do you continue to make apps that cant connect with each other. I have bird lists everywhere. Ive decided to use my eBird World app, as my main list app, but how do I bring my other lists from your other apps, together?

easy transition
Very easy to make transition to the new app. Done in just a few minutes with no glitches. Good job IT team! Easy to navigate the new app. FAQs covered all the questions that popped up for me.
Latest build is broken
The latest update is infuriating. It is glacially slow--eg. taxonomy and location updates took 20+ mins--no, this is not an exaggeration, as my clock stopped until it was done and it was legitimately more than 20 mins later. Opening checklists that have been completed by not submitted takes more than 5 mins. Most frustrating of all, I have yet to submit a checklist, as the app freezes upon attempting to do so. Ive never had so many problems with an app! Never did its predecessor BirdLog NA have these problems. I am confused why, not only due to the problems, but also because there have been multiple new build releases in recent weeks. I would much rather pay to have BirdLog NA reincarnated than have to deal with this. Meanwhile, I guess Im going to have to transfer my checklists to BirdLog NA and upload that way.
Very useful
Doesnt drain downloads, super easy to record species while on the go.
Great app
Love this app, use it almost every day for documentary local avian species!
Fun while traveling
I like to use this at home, but I also enjoy it while on holidays when I see new birds. The app changes to the common birds in that area. I feel like Im helping to track birds for science! Thanks ebird!
Great, with some caveats
Of course this app does what it says - nothing all that groundbreaking there. Two particular issues: 1. It is a battery hog. Even when I lock my phone and put it away, it seems to be draining my battery. Not sure if its using my GPS while in use or what but its very annoying. 2. I have no idea why, but the default keyboard is the alternate one on iPhone (number and symbols) when you click in the field to type common name/species codes. Again, very annoying.
