This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included. Please make sure you export your data as a backup before you update to the latest version. While we have tested the upgrade process, backing up is always a good idea. Lots of changes! -Now displays three custom fields. By default these are 'Site name', 'Survey method' and 'Distance (to observer)', but you can rename them to whatever your heart desires. -Updated for the latest version of iOS and the larger iPhones. -Sightings are now displayed individually on maps. Map imagery is downloaded on an as-needed basis; automatic downloading can be turned off in Settings. -You can now search your list of sightings, and sort it by date or distance (from your current location). Long-press on the Sort button to get more options. -The app icon will be badged with a red number 1 if the GPS is on when the app is in the background. You may be thinking "Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!", but this is to remind you that Sightings is using the GPS hardware and sucking up your precious battery power. -Settings can now be edited from within the app.
