Important Note Regarding the Life List:

This app features a cloud-based life list that secures your sightings online. Users must log in while connected to the internet; however, sightings can be added offline. Upon re-establishing internet access, the life list will synchronize to include new entries. This feature ensures your life list remains consistent across all devices where the app is installed and logged in with identical details.
