UPDATE THIS APP
This app has not been updated for 6 years. There have been numerous taxonomic splits, lumps, & renames in that time & this app is woefully behind the times. If it was regularly updated, I would give it 5 stars. As it is right now, it’s a 3.
Love this app!
Perfect--just what I needed to find these codes. I refer to it often.
Excellent
So easy to use , thank you
Terrific app, needs taxonomic update
I rely on this app (ver. 2.2) as the quickest way to search for band codes and proper scientific names but it is out-of-date. It could benefit from adding new US birds (accepted vagrants) and a taxonomy update, reflecting splits:
- Western Scrub-Jay to California and Woodhouse’s in 2016;
- Clapper Rail to Clapper and Ridgway’s in 2014;
- genus split for the North American cormorants in 2021.
- et al.

It’s the conflicts I want to know
CEWA was my first. More recently NOSH surprised me. So many wrens it was bound to happen, so we skip CAWR. It takes time ( maybe many years) to encounter them.
So it would be nice if the app displayed species in conflict when you enter a guess that’s not a legitimate code.

Functional
No bells and whistles. Just exactly what you need to confirm a banding code.
Keeps closing
I have the latest iPhone update and this app won’t open.
Never updated
Names and codes need to be updated regularly. These are not, so it’s useless.
Easy Banding codes / 4 letter codes
Next time you want to make sure you’re not crazy, that there isn’t anything normally called a YHBB or a CEWA, you can check here instantly. One thing well.
Pleasantly surprised
There really is an app for everything..
