No more updates for me.. – iBird Pro Guide to Birds Review

this is really a 5 star app but for one major annoyance. It seems like any and every update requires downloading the entire app. There must be a way that you can accomodate just downloading an update without having to transfer greater than 1.7 gig of data. Does someone with a 5 gig plan for their iphone uses 25% of their monthly data plan just to update this app? What's up with that? I don't have the fastest wireless connection, but not the slowest, and I have to walk away and forget about it for an hour every time I do an update on this app. Another update and same old problem.. Anybody out there listening? Another update and still no change.. and now the icon is gone.. i have just updated this app for the very last time. Obvious to me they want no input from customers/users. Or maybe they just don’t have an app developer smart enough to solve the problem.. hallmark Admittedly i was somewhat short in my last review. I received response from the developer which you can read for yourself.. which frankly in my opinion sounded rather snide and missed the point entirely. My point is that it should not require downloading 1.7 gig of data no matter what type of internet connection you have.. in order to get an new rev with as little as 8 new birds in it. If your 4g unlimited plan throttles back to 3g after 5 or 10 gig of data, why would anyone want to use that large of a chunk of their data to update one app. I always save updates to this app for doing while i am getting my tires rotated or some other free wifi waiting room. Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it? And for the record i do not have a garden and don’t complain about the water bill.. we have a well and i don’t need a new well pump every time i use it.
