• Fixed download issues, new image display and download routine: – The app contains all low-resolution images and thumbnails after installation.

Reviews of Birds of South America

  • I don’t recommend

    It has a couple of pictures of birds and their names in various languages. No vocalizations. For some birds, a brief description and habitat. Some pics are wrong.
  • Greatly improved version

    Three years ago I reviewed an early version of this app and found it practically useless (because it had no search functions and was simply a catalog of birds).

    But this version is greatly improved and rectifies some of the problems I mentioned earlier. You can now narrow your search by country or by species and you can search the names and descriptions for various terms. Furthermore the app claims to list all 3000+ species in South America and, a real bonus, allows you to download the whole database for off-line use.

    I would suggest two more improvements for the next version: 1) including a mention in each description of “similar species” to make comparisons easier; and 2) adding a function that allows narrowing search results by color, size, shape, etc.

    But overall this app is a vast improvement over the earlier one and is now a useful tool for identifying birds in the field.

    Felicitaciones!

    Developer Response

    Useless comment. And so old and never updated. But the app has been updated and is complete. It is a pity that users don't update their comments. Even for such a terrific app.
  • Crashes and freezes more often than useful

    Or, the downloaded data just disappears. Was working fine on iOS9, but not since iOS 10 update. I have contacted support twice, and no update to fix the problem.
    Update: bugs fixed , works well, all data downloaded is stable. Thank you!
    Crashes a problem again July 1.2017. Please fix

    Developer Response

    The current version is 2.1.0 so the problems were taken care of and the app runs stable. If only the users would update their comments (which is possible now!) in the same way as the app providers are updating their apps, it would be very helpful for new users to make a purchasing decision...
