I've tried every listing app I've found. None are quicker or more vesatile than a decent notebook.
That said, on my phone (Galaxy S4) I have BTO Birdtrack and fill it in at home from the notebook afterwards. That works out my uk year and lifelists without further effort on my part and provides data for BTO to use.
I also have various Duncan Watson checklists to keep track of world lifelist, notably his Bird Families.
As a handy id guide I use the so called RSPB eGuide which is about the best of the ones I've seen. For mapping I use Anquet OMN.

Yes mine seemed to take a while to 'bed in' too, which seems silly for software. It's been more or less trouble free subsequently but the list scrolling is irritatingly poor and the site management has room for improvement.

Mytracks is a useful app if you want to keep track of the locations where a bird is seen.
I maintain a photo life list and like to geo tag my photos so that they display on a map. In most built up areas I can locate the location on google earth but in more remote areas I sometimes had trouble. I downloaded myTracks from google. It's a free app that tracks your location using GPS satellites. You can improve the accuracy by also using the cell towers but this will incur data charges. Using the GPS satellites is free.
The finished track can be exported as a spreadsheet and even displayed on google earth. My GH3 supposedly allows auto geo tagging by syncing with the phone but I haven't used that feature. I prefer to manually tag the photos using the time stamp to get the proper coordinate. Very useful when hiking.
