The font colour is white against a white background on the pop outs when you click on the swift icon, so if it did say anything you can't read it. Also would be good to have a time line to roll backwards and forward to see the rough arrival or sightings, so you can get an idea where and when they might be flying back

Not that great on early impressions. Main criticism is that there appears to be no option to sort sighting data by date. Second, the blurb suggests you want to record nest box locations even before they have been occupied by swifts, but when I try to add details of mine it is impossible to do so without entering a date when swifts were observed. This risks inaccurate data being recorded and undermines any potential scientific value.
