  • Very good

    I've struggled a bit to learn to navigate the app, but after that it's great. Lots of useful info.
  • Love it

    Overall I love this app. It has come in handy on several hikes. Wish there were more birds in the app, would love a map of their distribution in the details section, and would like to see my sightings on the map (pin drops) instead of just a list.
  • Very Helpful

    I love using this app when hiking to identify the birds I'm seeing outdoors.
  • Great for birders and novices alike

    This app is great for identifying birds of all kinds. I am really enjoying it!
  • BirdId

    Relatively incomplete, but good photos. Let's see what time does.
  • Not good

    This app has a terrible user experience with lots of tabs and unclear navigation.

    I kept hitting search, but turns out that's only if you already know the bird's name. You have to hit identification.

    There are a ton of selections for bird features which is nice but cumbersome

    Then when you hit search (which took a few tries cause i couldn't locate it- hint- it's in the top right and it's a check mark), it shows you birds from everywhere in America, not where you are. I live in LA, and my top match was from Maryland. My actual match was the 3rd one down, after 2 not from my region.

    The back button brings you to bird families, not back to your search. And you lose what you have previously selected and searched for. Really annoying.

    When when I did find it, the detail page was missing information I wanted, and there was no way to save it to my sightings.

    Just starting but it's helpful!
  • Pretty good

    It works and is functional, however I wish that there was a range function to see a birds range, or to specifically see birds only in your region
  • Backyard Birding

    This is helpful as we attract more birds to our yard. It's fun and educational.
  • Bird lover

    I live in the Mark Twin forest. When we moved here I was determined to keep alive my sister's love of birds. She could identify all the birds that came to her feeder. I wanted to be able to do the same. I also wanted to identify their song when I couldn't see the bird. By checking out the birds I see in the area and listening to the recording, I finally matched the one I hear a lot when I am working in my garden. The Eastern Phoebe is the one who calls out over and over to me as I work.
