Hi Everyone
The new version of BirdBuddy is out with the following changes:
- Added 'Continue with Facebook' button to streamline the setting up of user profiles
- Added 'View In BBSpace' button in Edit Profile section so users can see their own profiles as shown in the BBSpace social network page
- Added in-app purchases as subscription options for unlocking extra functions and access to the BBSpace social network page
- Added 'Hybrid Macaw' as a supported bird type (thanks user OK_Mike)
- Added new icons for Extras section
- Minor fixes and improvements
For the first time, there are areas of the app which are no longer free because I've got server costs to pay and there's very little coming in from the advertising in the app.
Some functions - such as setting up bird profiles, bird news, the sound library and the bird games - continue to be free. But those functions which require the use of the BirdBuddy server - such as saving user/bird profiles to our cloud server - will require a small subscription fee. For full details about what's free and premium, see the BirdBuddy/My Bird Buddy download page in the app/play store.
For those users who have previously used our cloud server functionality and now find they must subscribe to continue using it, don't worry - your previously saved data is safe and can be accessed same as before once the subscription is made.
Thanks for supporting our app and let me know if you have any questions, issues or suggestions.
Nick
