Not bad but needs more photos

It’s a good that that could be excellent. Needs more photos of the same bird but in flight, on the ground and in water where applicable. Also photos of both males and females. Still lacks common birds such as Little Egrets. Could also update where you ID a bird you can filter to date not just geographical location. Has not had any new photos or significant updates for 9 years! they don’t respond to emails or feedback. I wonder if they read these reviews?

Great App, but wish there was more photos

I’ve had this app for several years, and I really enjoyed using it. The only criticism I add is that I wish there were more photos of the birds. For example, on ground and in the air photos. Some birds have both on the ground and in the air photos, but others don’t.

Can't edit location

I've had this app a couple of years now. Sent feedback to the developer because it crashes every single time you try to edit the location of a sighting. It's something they're working on. Two years later. No change; still crashes.

Good, but sighting feature not working correctly

I really like this app, but the ability to edit locations of sightings causes the app to crash. So if I tried to enter a sighting after I got home from a walk I cannot, and it will only put the sighting as being in my current location. If you press ‘edit location’ the app crashes and force quits.

Maybe it’s me

I am really enjoying this app and especially the fact it supports family share. For the most part it is completely intuitive and so great for kids to use as well as technophobes like me. I have read the help section and it’s clear enough in all but one aspect. I have not been able to establish the white tick on species I have logged and nor does the sightings map appear to show the percentage species spot that n the top left as indicated in the aforementioned help section. If anyone wants to let me know what I am missing then please do. All in all a welcome and valuable addition to my apps list.

Love the app

I’ve had this app (and all the other sunbird apps) for years now. I use it pretty much everyday for work so it was worth every penny. They just need to make one for uk mammals and one for grass species and I’ll have everything I need.

I am thrilled to have found & downloaded this app. It has brilliant photography, easy to find identification & the information is very informative. At last I can identify most of the birds that I see. Also it’s worth just looking through.

Informative and easy to use.

Use this a lot, it does what it is supposed to do, help you identify the birds. I use it as we have a lot in the garden and it’s nice to know what I’m looking at. It always works as it should.

Excellent app

I downloaded this app when a bird I didn’t recognise landed in my garden. The app is great so far refreshing my bird knowledge. Sometimes I could do with a couple more photos to help with my identification.

Great app for identifying birds and birdsong

Easy to carry and use to identify a bird; but you do need to know what family its in. Listening to the birds call is a great feature and you won't find that with a book.
