I made an app for my computer a long time ago, some of you may have downloaded it. What I found was after you do this for a while, you either write a log daily for that book you are going to write so you can become a famous falconer or you write down the basics and it doesn't take an app to do that. LOL Now days, I write down start weight, where I hunted so I don't hit the same place over and over, end weight, maybe a comment if something happened special and what game was caught.
It always amuses me that people write down what the food they fed their bird weighed, can't you sort of figure that out by start weight and end weight? LOL

Ok Mario, if you weigh your bird before you take it hunting and it weighs 800 g, during hunting and after the kill you feed it rabbit and it weighs 900 g. You fed it 100 g. If you fed it quail and it was the same weights, wouldn't it still be 100 g? Duh! I am not talking about how much they burn through, that would determine what their weight would be the next day when you hunt. I am just talking about writing down how much you fed them and weighing the food first, not necessary. And of course, everyone should know that different foods burn through different birds at different weights but that is something that has to be learned and would be reflected on the next days weight. It ain't rocket science! LOL

And writing it down is one good way for an apprentice to learn that is it not?

quickly checked out the app, its usable the way it is but could be more convenient, a few problems i noticed that could be fixed.
> written examples for the example bird is not in the selected language, the singular and plural of species is species, not "specie" (and other translation mistakes)
> all or most empty input text fields should be filled with a greyed out place-holders.
> an option to switch month and date positions
> ability to add new and common hawking location on an interactive map
> have the weather forecast automatic logged for the day, no one is going to fill in that wall of input fields.
> a warning that shows as a red data point on the graph when a bird goes outside a weight range the falconer has set.
> i like the weight graph but it could have better readability
Thanks for your work, hope for future versions!
