Swift Mapper

It would be great if the app could give the possibility of selecting just the current year so we could see swift distribution build as sightings come in each year. As far as I can see there is no option for this on the map and you have to click each registered sighting to see the year. It would be so good to be able to filter so you can just see the present year. With the thousands of existing entries from all the previous years finding swifts sightings for the current year it is like looking for a needle in the ocean.

Updated following revision in late May 20. Much better with all functions now working. Hopefully this will provide a clearer view of how much the UK swift population has changed over recent years.

On my iPhone X the locator does not work - the app does not ask for permissions for location data and there’s no Swift Mapper section in settings to enable it. Really needs a filter (like the website) so you can choose the years to see on the map. I’d like to see 2020 only to track the arrival of Swifts across the country. Got excited to notice a record in our village, only to discover it was from last year.
