It's done and live!

Here's my app:

"Bird Calling" by Nicole Perretta

I had been waiting for my beta testers to get back to me on the "final" version, and I'm glad I did, because one of them found a bug. The pictures are pretty large (sized for a 7" tablet), and each time you launch an Intent (i.e. go to another bird by clicking rather than swiping) the picture goes to the back stack and stays in memory.  We had already done some work to shrink pictures for smaller/older devices, but the back stack was killing even the Nexus 7 within about 5 or 6 back stack additions.  We changed the code to recycle the bitmap sooner rather than later.
