1.04GB is too much

This app is lovely, and Ive sacrificed having other apps and/or music & video on my phone for it, but I cannot install an update that is *over 1GB* no matter how many new bird songs or fancy drawings there are! This is a mobile app, (remember that lots of iPhones are 16GB?) and at this point, I suggest to the developers that they either find a better way to compress the size of the code, or segment the app into downloadable geographic areas. Im going to try to avoid updating for as long as I can, but if it becomes a hassle, I will delete the app I paid for rather than lose functionality of my mobile device. Please let me know when theres a more streamlined update available.
