Reviews of Birdwatcher's Diary

Update

This app is okay my problem is they need to update. When you look at the number of species seen by state they are way off NM shows 527. Just looked in eBird and the actual number is 558. Their are better apps for Birding but when people spend money on something they should keep it up to date.

Great addition to any birdwatcher's toolkit

Very happy to see this great app is available again and working well😊

I've been using this app for many years now and have decided that I no longer need to take pen, paper and a GPS with me when I go birdwatching. Species encountered can be located with a couple of taps, recorded with another tap, notes about the encounter recorded with another couple of taps via the user-configurable phrase list. Downloading and installing the Australian list was simple. I have since downloaded the New Zealand list and used it when I was over there just recently. The ability to record multiple sightings of the same species has proved invaluable for the monitoring I do of Hooded Plovers during the breeding season. The ability to archive data locally and to DropBox is great, as is the ability to configure the format of the output (eg. CSV or TXT format, which fields to include/exclude). Highly recommended and well worth the money. Neil Shelley Victoria, Australia

Works Great

Have had this app for several years and it does a great job of recording sightings. Like that you can record heard only birds. Another nice feature is you can upload to a listserv, Facebook or Twitter. You can tailor your locations to exact locations which is really convenient for future Birding trips.
