I'm afraid that's about as helpful as I can be, @LocalHero. I have never signed into iBird and I don't plan to. I'm afraid that might trigger an update that may render the app useless. I downloaded the app, and the data packs, for the field guide aspect and haven't even looked at the other features you mention. The app has always worked the way I wanted it to, as a reference, so in keeping with the theory that if it ain't broke, don't fix it, I try to avoid any updates. I am using Version 7.7.1044 build 1044 OBB: 1032. Out of curiousity, what version are you using? I believe the iPhone is on Version 13 but I don't think Android versions are numbered the same way.
