My new partner
I’m not confident enough to consider myself a birder yet, just someone who loves the outdoors and now loves birds. This app has made it very easy to figure out what I ‘may’ be seeing. Offering links to bird sounds, pictures and other information about the birds, I have learned a lot about them. I freely admit, hawks still are a mystery to me; especially with the light and dark; my new goal! I also appreciate the wonderful customer service provided when I saw a goose that nobody could help me id…you did!

What’s That Bird, Lvl 100+
Okay, so I’m a big “wanna know” type of person. Whatever it is, I wanna know. And so is my 6 year old son. “What’s that bug?” Pull out Seek by iNaturalist. “What’s that song?” Pull out Shazam. “What’s that bird?” Pull out this app right here. Doesn’t matter if we can only hear it - you know why? Yup, it’ll identify that bird by sounds only! Then it links you to all the other “wanna know” stuff - distribution, habitat, diet, all that jazz. No other bird identifying app or website comes close. Cause when you wanna know, you wanna know! 👍👍

Learning so much!
With this app handily available on my phone, I find I am often taking advantage of the easy access to identify new and interesting birds I encounter, especially when I travel to New places. It has made me so much more aware and appreciative of the birds around me and I am so happy to now be able to recognize so many species. The app is so easy to use and Michael is very responsive whenever I have had questions identifying a bird. I highly recommend this valuable tool.

Fun way to quickly learn about birds!
I love this app! I have always enjoyed hearing different bird sounds, now that I found this app, I am able to quickly identify the sounds and learn more about the birds, where they are from, what their migration patterns are and so much more. The bet thing about it is that if you can not identify your bird by the picture or the sound, you can email the app developer and they immediately reply back and tell you what the bird is. Ive never had that with any other app. I highly recommend this and hope you will share it!

Must Have Top Birding App!
New to the birding scene I have tired a few different birding apps and this one is by far one of the best. It easily has the most expansive list of birds and is great for both domestic and international species. The information provided for each bird is very detailed, much more than other apps or even some guide books. It is also VERY impressive how responsive Michael is to emails regarding requests for additional birds to be added or suggested app improvements. Response time was within the day and sometimes even within the hour! Dedicated birder and app designer!

Nice app
I’ve been using the free version of this app for about a year now. I finally decided to upgrade to the paid version because of their option to email pictures to a live person to help ID a bird that Didn’t find a match in the free database. The email came in Less than 24 hours. Michael was who wrote back and he verified the bird and also explained that the bird may not have successfully been Identified because it is molting. I especially like that you can reply to the emails and it is not a robo mail. If you’ve enjoyed the free version for awhile, I recommend you give the paid version a try.

Great App for Bird Lovers!
I love this app. My favorite feature is the “Song ID”. There have been so many times where I’ve heard a bird and thought, “What bird is making THAT noise???” I launch Song ID, hit “record” and get an answer within seconds. Another cool function is that it let’s you see which birds other users in your area are tracking (that way you can keep an eye out for them). Functionally it’s solid too, so I haven’t experienced any glitches or problems while using the app. Just makes watching and learning about birds better!

I’m hooked
I stumbled upon this app searching ways to identify birds that I’ve photographed. Identifying the birds with the assistance of this app actually brings the images to life. Learning the traits, habits, songs, etc. helps me capture the view I need to show their character through the image. I listen to the song of the bird, identify the bird through the app and then search through my lens patiently. I like the recorded bird songs listed for each. Very helpful. App owner responsive to assist in additional info I may be looking for.

Good now and I’m sure will get better
I really like the features of this app and know it will help me as I learn to identify birds. I am especially interested in the song identification feature. Ufortunately, it can be kind of hard to isolate the particular birdsong I want to know about (or capture it at a high enough volume), so it doesn’t always work for me. But the developer was so responsive when I had a question about the app—if he’s putting that much work into improving the app too, it’s definitely going to get better and better. I look forward to using it.

EXCELLENT app! Highly recommend.
I don’t use many apps and often purge my home screen ... and this one will definitely make the cut!! I am SO pleased and was so impressed that I ended up purchasing the family subscription. We are all thrilled with the features and the functionality! We could not have asked for a better app that provides reliable, complete, interesting and relevant information. I’ve also already recommended to several other people. For avid or amateur birders, this will be a great resource. Bravo!
