8 of 25Can’t listen to find birds. That would be my only complaint but sounds like that feature is coming. I had issue with search feature that no longer seems to be an issue. I reinstalled the app and an update to iOS that maybe helped. Not sure. Ether way seems like this will be helpful app for our new house in the sticks!
Won’t let me log in
After updates it keeps making me redownload off-line field guide. You only notice this while off-line. Making the app useless till you get service again. It has now happened 3x to me.
I only started last year watching the birds in my new backyard. This app had helped me learn their calls and identify the many birds that visit. Perfect for this newby birder.
i’ve been using this app for about a week now, and i absolutely adore it! - the bird identification feature goes far beyond the scope of other apps ive tried, it’s highly in depth and isnt as restrictive. you can easily narrow down what bird you saw from all the appearance options. i also appreciate the option to choose based on call alone! you’d have to dig for that specific call in some other apps, and having that option makes things much easier! you can’t always see the bird youre hearing. - i find myself looking at the photography section of the explore page a lot. it’s nice to physically see birds that were spotted instead of looking at locations and data! it feels more real to me that way. - the custom lists are very handy. you can pick what birds are on them based on their names, but there’s also a box with their appearance! they also have the option to push notifications if theyre spotted within a certain radius. they tell you where the bird was spotted and when! (date and time) - with ebird functions built in, it makes it easier to find spots for birding! all it needs is a general location and itll tell you exactly what spots are nearby and how many birds have been spotted there both in total and recently! super convenient for those who don’t want two separate apps just for one function. - my only real complaint is i wish there were more birds! there’re so many different species from all across the world, i think it would be nice to see birds from outside north america! it would make the app more accessible to people from different countries too. overall, i highly recommend this app! the app is very customizable, the id features are precise and accurate, inputting sightings is easy, and each species has a thorough explanation of their behaviors as well as sighting maps! very user friendly as well as informative!
I think this is a great app but it is a little buggy and it has limited birds. Bugs: the app has some texture issues and some of the icons are mashed together or they are off the screen, and it is a little Annoying to read and see what that stuff is. Some of the bird titles are too long and push the check mark off the screen, the icons at the bottom of the screen for home, explore, guid, etc. are pushed to the side and look awkward. Also I travel a lot to other countries and I saw that this app only seems to cover North American birds and I was hoping you could add more, particularly European birds but other than that the app is really good and with a few fixes could be one of the best. I do like the style and the sorrow social aspects of photo posting. Thank you for your time.
Enjoy being able to track sightings and see other people’s sitings. Love the information and details.enjoy exploring pictures and information with my grandsons.
My favorite birding app, the app I share the most often with new birders. Love it when I go to a new location.
