    allow user to enter a new category if an accurate one does not exist.

    As of now there are not categories for every species on the planet. So, allow the user to add categories! For instance, I saw a Five-Lined Skink, and I would like to add that as a category. Instead, I have to mark it as simply a lizard, which is too general. Thanks!

    Allow a clickable map for location entry.

    Allow folks to find their location on a map, and simply enter their encounter there. The service to "locate a place-mark" by name does not work well for remote locations.

    Provide non US species (e.g. the UK).

    You tweeted and so I installed the iPhone app but it only has US species. I am in the UK.

    Synch iPhone/iPod with WildObs Website

    Right now WildObs Observer is a field tool for capturing encounters (what/where/when and a photo) but it could be more if it synchronized fully with WildObs website:

    1) Download encounters entered on the website.
    2) Downlaod changes (e.g. photos added) from the website.
    3) Allow user photos (esp... more

    UK wildlife lists and Blackberry app as well as iPhone.

    Terrific idea but I'd love to see a UK specific set of lists, and to be able to enter data via my Blackberry Bold. Also it might be an idea for users to be able to add their own species to the list, otherwise Choleopterists will never be well served :)

    Soon there will be regional lists, perhaps by the county level not just country. A user can already have favourites, recent, local (their immediate neighbourhood) wish is a step in this direction.

    Users can add species today as they wish.

    Allow "vague dates" (i.e. I saw this moose back in 1999)

    I want to record all my encounters, not just new ones. I don't remember the exact time of day. Can I set the date/time to be to the hour, day, week, month, year, decade or even unset?

    Enable users to record GPS locations of observations and group them according to location e.g., park

    If someone wants to maintain lists of species seen at a park or private property but also wants to have the observations be spatially explicit (e.g., each observation has unique coordinates) it would be nice to be able to group multiple locations and generate lists according to the group name (e.... more

    Show both video and still photos for one encounter

    Currently it seems if you have a video, the photo is not shown.

    Download data to a CSV file

    It would be nice if users were able to download their observation lists to a CSV file so that they can maintain a backup and perform their own analysis on the data.

    Enable users to edit and delete observations

    There are times when an animal is misidentified in the field and an observation needs to be updated to reflect the correct information.

    Also, having the ability to delete observations would be nice

    Photo Credits and Copyright

    There needs to be an option to specify photo credits, copyright information, URL of original photo. When I entered new species that were not contained in the iphone dbase there was no photograph associated with the species observed. So, I went out on the web to find a good example of the specie... more

    Clarify what is meant by category. Include a definition or example.

    Status: planned

    Helpful text ought be available in next/upcoming release.
