Question Birding Software

Has anyone out there any experience of Wildlife Lister from www.wildlife.co.uk?

Seems fairly comprehensive and can be linked to a PDA which is useful. Also includes lists for Butterflies and Dragonflies which would suit me.

BUT is it any good?

I've never used it, but looking at their demos it seems a reasonable programme (with reservations). The only thing I find distracting is their hype about speech technology! I've used this technology since 1999 and to be honest, you would IMO find it rather useless, although that does depend on which speech engine is used and how good it has been integrated into the software. Plus the amount of time you wish to spend "training it".

The screenshots of the programme tends to show an antiquated written programme IMO. And the price seems high.

Just an opinion though.

Also consider Mapmate as used by RSPB. It is configurable for any species of life form not just birds
