Latest update doesn’t work on iPad
I love this app, but something has changed. In the last few days, the orientation of the app on my iPad is wrong. It doesn’t scale for the iPad and it makes it extremely difficult to use it. Was there an update that caused this?

Extraordinary
I am fortunate to live in a forest with many birds and to be able to identify them by their songs is so meaningful to me! This last spring a Mockingbird sat atop my tree and I was not surprised that the app not only identified it but identified the birds it was mocking!
