Testimonials:

In two days this product has converted me from a technophobic longhand recorder to an enthusiastic advocate of such software in general and this product in particular. They don’t pay me to say this – so I’ll say it for free – this is an excellent product with second-to-none after sales . . .  I have no hesitation in giving it a personal recommendation and endorsement.

+++++++++++++++

 The Wildlife Recorder system makes using a handheld device (I have a Pocket PC) a breeze, and when you perform the simple data transfer from the Pocket PC t back into the Wildlife Recorder program on your computer, your lists are all updated automatically. With a simple click, you can see where your life list stands, for the world, or any geographical area. You can also see range maps for species, produce paper checklists, and keep track of the mammals you see while looking at birds. . . I give it my highest recommendation.
