It looks and works fantastically Neil, well done! Great artwork, great info, 
and I like the size comparisons.

In terms of the calls on the app, I actually really like the fact that you can 
have more than one call playing at once. This gives you an option of listening 
to a cacophony of wetland bird calls. For instance I had all the rails going 
off at once, giving an impression of a complex wetland. I had this very 
situation at Junee Wetland in NSW just recently - all the crakes noisily 
calling at once, and all within several feet of where I was sitting. Using your 
app, I even managed to get many of the birds that you might hear at a Kakadu 
going together! Like a personalised orchestrated Kakadu dawn chorus. Love it.

Cheers,

Tim

Joseph,

Unfortunately it's not currently possible to stop an audio once it starts.
 The only thing I can suggest in the short term is the mute button on the
device.
