Dont waste your time get the full version

So limited is is useless, seach does not work for simple groups like ‘dove’. Get the full version which is a 4/5 stars

This app is fantastic. I can identify so many birds now. Thank you.

Exporting from lists

I paid for this app many years ago so have definitely got my money’s worth out it. Use it all the time and love it.

However recently I can’t export my bird lists as I used to be able to which is really really unhelpful as I recorded species as I used the coordinates to be able to map distribution and now I’m having to add coordinates manually into a csv. Can someone advise if this app is no longer being supported.

Crashes

Free version crashes when trying to open the menu.
Glad i haven’t wasted money on the paid app.
I would really like a functioning bird app

Good could be better

The app had some difficulties that I think you could fix but it is so cool and helpful

Crashes on opening

I wanted to check out the lite version before purchasing the full $30 version but given its 4 years old it probably shouldn’t be a surprise that it doesn’t work. It won’t even open.

Full reference version needs more thought

Bought the expensive full version but found that the version registered under my purchases was mislabelled as the LITE version. Unable to family share this expensive app with my wife and found that all attempts to do so resulted in only the useless Lite version being shared!

The search index was particularly poor so for example a search for all kingfishers in the top end failed to highlight the buff breasted paradise kingfisher as the search engine cannot cope with hyphenated words. Similarly the variety of bird calls failed to capture the commonest calls of many species. The illustrations exclude any photographs of birds and comprise only line drawings.

Despite numerous emails, the authors support team failed to resolve my issues with sharing the reference app. As an experienced birder, I cannot recommend this version and hope that this 2 year old app is shortly to be extensively revised.

Very helpful app

I love it, and paid the full price for it. I believe I got my monies worth. Thank you. Is it still being supported and updated?

Brilliant work

This app rocks.

I was told this version was free...

I read on the full version that this smaller version could be tried for free, so you could see if you liked the way the app felt. As such, I am quite unhappy to have been charged $7.99 for it....
