How a field guide app should be made
Just picked up this truly gorgeous app and I'm beyond impressed. Takes good quality content from Collins' print editions and applies really innovative graphic design and GUI. Focus on showing similar birds to compare. Audio, range maps and text all in easy reach.
There are in-app purchase options for three video libraries (common, less common, and rarities) as well as one to add the BTO breeding bird atlas maps for the UK. I added the common birds video on my iPad, while on my iPhone I'll omit that to save space.
Similar bird comparisons are 'curated' meaning the app publishers maintain lists of which ones you should also compare. I thought the intro said I could make my own pairings as well, but if so I couldn't find this feature. All other functions are very well presented and easy to see where to tap or pinch to get them.
In all, a brilliant app and well worth the purchase price.

Best Old World birding app out there
Like the title says, best Old World birding app I've seen. Slick, good-looking, easy to use ans informative. Reasonably priced, too. If I could take off a half star it would be for slightly pale text that might be tough to read in the field. Hopefully an update will fix that. Otherwise, well done.

Bad
No alphabetic lookup. A big waste of money. Grey letters in index difficult to read. Buy the book, not this app.
Bird-tastic
Excellent app in all aspects. Well and truly worth the high price for such high quality, it really feels slick, smooth, and sharp to use and explore. Bundle this with beautiful illustrations and twenty dollars doesn't seem like much anymore...
Simply the best
Best app ever for any birdo…
Enven if you are not in europe some of the drawings are so useful for worldwide species (shorebirds, seabirds, ducks etc.) a Must-have for any solid birder.
