Today we are delighted to announce that the all-new Bird Journal is ready to use.
New apps
Our Android, iOS & Windows apps have each had a big update.
You can now sync your records seamlessly across all devices, including worldwide and wildlife observations. iOS and Android apps are now available worldwide from the AppStore and Google Play respectively.
Sync also serves as a backup for your data. If you lose your device or your computer malfunctions, simply sign back in to your account to carry on from where you left off.
The Bird Journal Library makes it easy to discover, install & update taxonomies, checklists and other items of interest without leaving the app.
We think these changes make Bird Journal the best way to record, explore and share your bird & wildlife observations and experiences, and hope you'll agree.

New website
Our new website www.birdjournal.com presents Bird Journal more clearly as a single product. It works well on any size screen and we tried to make it more personal too. New pricing
Apps themselves are now completely free to download and install, and local bird observations can be kept using a free account.
A premium subscription is available offering full library access and analysis features. All existing Windows app customers are entitled to 1/3 off* for the first three years of a premium subscription. Enter your license key when upgrading.
* If you ordered recently, you'll get a full credit towards a premium subscription.

What's Next?
We've spent nine months developing and testing these changes, and we hope you'll love them. This is however just the beginning in a new direction for Bird Journal. We have many ideas on where to take Bird Journal next. For example, updating all of the taxonomies in the library will be a priority after launch.
