Hi Susan,

Such are the problems with using apps. They are often turn out to be curates 
eggs. I have not used iSight for a while. In fact, I have not used any apps in 
the field for nearly a year. I have gone back to using a notebook in field. 
Much easier to dry a notebook and field-guide after getting drenched than an 
electronic device, which do not seem to swim well.

Cheers,

Carl Clifford
