What's new (as uploaded)
Bird Journal now does its work several times faster. Searching for a
species, opening a list and building a report are all quicker.
Also in this release:
• Species search now says what it was searching within, so it's clear
where to widen it.
• Scrolling the species list no longer records a species by accident.
• Graphs with long labels now read properly on a phone.
• Fixed a rare crash, and a report list that could stop loading more rows.

• Your main screens — Summary, Entries, Gallery, Species and Locations — now sit in a bar along the bottom, always one tap away
• Changes to an observation apply as you make them, and deleting one really deletes it
• More accurate geotagging, and your own locations now come first in Nearby
• Fixes to filters, species browsing and list counts
