  • Love it !

    it’s very easy to take a picture and seems to identify really well. Also love how you can get a picture from something and it will scan it also and identify it!
  • Great app overall

    This is a great app and has really helped me id birds and become more knowledgeable about them. It’s not infallible though. The camera “accidentally” took a photo of my keyboard and the app identified it as a blue-breasted bee eater! Despite this, I would still highly recommend the app
  • Great bird ID

    I’m a wildlife photographer and this is my go to app for finding out info on birds that I am u sure of their breed/species.

    Only very few it was not able to identify, but that also could have had to do with picture quality.
  • Useless-I don’t love birds for $40 taken out of my account

    I downloaded the trial version because I wondered what bird was being so loud outside. I’m not a bird enthusiast or anything. Of course I was automatically charged the $40 yearly price instead of the $3.99 monthly price. No apps with integrity in their product have to deceive people into something that they don’t want. Any such contract has no legal binding as a signature is only proof of deception. Contracts are agreements between two parties. What is written and signed only proves that two parties were either in agreement or one was deceived. Let’s look at the fine print. It’s “fine” because it’s meant to deceive. Otherwise it would be written clearly in bold. And there wouldn’t be unhappy people. This isn’t a game show and we’re sore losers! The solution is simple. You pay for what you use. No harm no fowl. If you have a useful product then people will happily pay for it. That’s why companies with integrity withstand the erosion of time. This applies to all apps that iTunes have yet to afford the courtesy to their customers with this free trial madness! This has got to stop! It leaves us with a bad taste i our mouth. Shame on iTunes and Shame on you!

  • Horrible

    Honestly I had high hopes for the app but it didn’t even identify the birds correctly. I sent an email quite a while ago to request a refund because even though I stopped the subscription somehow I was still charged for it. It took $40 out of my account and my account went negative and my bank charged me more money for them taking out money that was supposed to have been canceled. No answer from any of the app makers. Highly upset. Down that money that I desperately needed. Don’t trust the app when they do things like this. 😡

  • Picture Bird

    This app might be good if you go to a zoo and are 5 feet or closer to the bird but so far using it just for about a week it is always incorrect if you are more than 10-20 feet away. It just guesses. Compared to picture this which identifies plants with 95-98% accuracy I cannot give this app greater than 5-10% accuracy if you are more than 10 feet- it also guesses based on whether the bird is on the ground or in a tall tree. This app would be much improved if somehow there could be a way to magnify much better

  • Fear of Birds

    This app totally helped me overcome my fear of birds after my companion dog recently died whom absolutely loved birds. I have epilepsy and often wander outside for no reason to have seizures and have been seriously injured and if it wasn’t for my dog always keeping safe thru them and then finding help I wouldn’t be here today. So I owe it to him to overcome my fear and walk amongst the birds as he probably is. This app lets me and my family learn about all the beautiful songbirds, woodpeckers, finches and my favorite the ever so calm and epherical; hummingbirds. Moving from Ca to Wa is great to learn so much about all the beautiful colored birds. Thank you for helping me slowly get over my fear for I know my dog would.❤️🙏🕊

  • Rating this app

    Spot on for. few of the photos I submitted!
    One identification I disagreed with, although I can see why this happened. I submitted the picture of a Wood Duck- which your app identified as a Mallard Duck. The Mallard female is quite similar, but we don’t see traditional Mallard males with the bright green heads. Your app identified another photo as a Mottled Mallard.
    I still have to use this more as I just started to use this app!

  • Great app. A little overpriced in my opinion.

    I’ve only been using this app for about a week but in a couple different states. It seems to work well most of the time. It comes up “unknown” a few too many times on good pictures for me to give it a 5 rating. It’s also a bit overpriced for a casual user. If you travel a lot for birding and want an app that gives you good results most of the time, this is good. I DO like the fact it tells you a little bit about the bird also.

    Tried using other bird identification apps, but they were all so complicated. This one is so easy to use. Love being able to either take a picture or upload one, then push a button to get it identified. It’s surprisingly very accurate. The couple of times it missed the bird identified the one it picked was close to the one submitted. Has really made identification so much easier!
