I hated to remove the old Minnesota Birding News App. Over 2,000 individuals had downloaded and installed the app on their iOS or Android device. Unfortunately, the cost to maintain the app (paid by me) had grown too expensive.

I am creating a new Minnesota Birding News Service which reduces both the initial financial outlay and ongoing support costs. It is in beta and uses an RSS Feed Reader App named Feedly. Like the old app, the new service is free and contains no advertising.

If you wish to try the new Minnesota Birding News service, please be my guest … BUT given the service is in beta I WILL NOT YET ANSWER questions for folks needing installation help. Ultimately this information will be included.

• Minnesota Birding News Service (in beta)

Automatically received updates from 38 birding sources with a primary emphasis on Minnesota.

I welcome feedback and suggestions.
