Leave a Review eGuide to British Birds
Corrupted
After using this app happily for a few years it has suddenly started not opening properly. I get half a screen and it is no longer fit for purpose. I wonder what my chances of getting a refund are.Saltburn Slim
Not recommended
Bought this as it is RSPB. Disappointing. Pictures are tired, monodimensional and old fashioned. No help to find a bird you don’t know. Information is good but I think there are better apps to help your enjoyment.Pritch-The-Stitch

Out of date. Lots of common birds missing. List is pointless so much missing. Pictures are embarrassing for this day and age.
Do yourself a favour and go for the Collins guide UK or Europe if you are a more serious birder. BirdGuides is a great tool for lists
and tell you were the birds are.
This app should be aimed at children for 99p Not £6.99Show lessSpewbag
Best money I have ever spent
I have had this app for many years and it must be the best £6 odd I have ever spent. So useful in the field or anywhere. Pictures and recordings of songs/calls as well as all the information you would need to understand a bit more about the particular species.Robbiez ccc
Good for experienced and beginner birder.
I've been a keen birder for very many years. This has proven to be an excellent app for my iPhone. It covers most British birds and has plenty of detail with decent images and sound files. Highly recommended!Scampo1953
A bad book on a digital platform - why bother?
Since the best, in my mind, birding app. Twitcher was discontinued I've been trying to find something at least it's equal. I still haven't. This eGuide kicks off with the blandest home page you've seen since the Spectrum was launched. Nowhere does it give any help at all in identifying birds. You've got to know what bird you're looking at before you get a picture. There's no Google maps location facility, no "sightings" list - it's boring, bland and bleak and, in making no use of digital functionality, is no better than a small reference book. Wish I hadn't bought it.Show lessTimothyCharles
Disappointing
Has potential, but it's missing the range maps for a bunch of species to the point I wish I could have known about these shortcomings before purchasing the app.
Don't bother buying/downloading this one until they fix it. In the meantime, spend your money and phone memory on either professional printed field guides or more complete apps.Show lessN2lexual
New update problems
New update causes smaller images of the birds on iPhone 6plus - uses 1/2 the screen and can't enlarge. A bug to be fixed.TJ Bird Dog
Incorrect screen resolution since update
Since the latest update, the app displays itself on the left side of the screen as it is not optimised for an iPhone 6S Plus or 7 Plus.
For the cost of the app, this is an eliminatory thing to have gotten wrong - especially as it worked before the update.
Maybe focus in the fundamentals and worry less about changing the app's icon!Show lessdavids1970
Expert information
Those who have given this app a bad review clearly did not research what they wanted from it in the first place. The RSPB book is the best and this, with the ability to add sightings and bird songs with excellent maps follows in every way. This is going to make research wherever I go, simple. Top notch app.Show lessStone steve
