Reviews of eBird

  • Bird pack and other UI is awful

    Bird pack downloads are ridiculously slow - it takes several minutes to DL a single 2-4MB file; it should be a few seconds. There is no button for “update all my packs”. There is no composite US country pack. There is no auto-update option for bird packs. The bird counting interface is counterintuitive and really needs context sensitive assistance. Search interface sometimes stops working properly, requiring app restart. The bird reference info has way too few photos of birds in flight as seen from below.

    Most of these issues have existed for a couple of years or more, so it’s not clear whether Cornell realizes they are problems, or whether they lack the right devs to address them.
  • Could be 5 stars - swiping app

    This app is awesome. Recent changes are so helpful. One major change needs to be made to make it 5 stars!
    Almost everyone accidentally swipes an app away. In this app, even if you open it back up, it refuses to allow you to continue logging your track. Sure, you can continue to log birds but it stops tracking and time-keeping so then one must manually figure it out. What a waste of time, especially at the moment you swipe you realize it and try to get it back when you haven’t even taken another step forward! App should check your location and ask if you mean to continue. Can it really be that hard nowadays? Please, please, for the love of birding and counting, fix this situation! Thank you!!
  • Why 2 Apps? Can’t Sign In.

    Downloaded both eBird and Merlin to try spotting/tracking birds for the first time during Spring migration. I’m still unsure of the difference between the two apps and why you need both of them.

    It’s a moot point, though, because it’s impossible to sign in to either or them! I created a CornellLab account as requested and I went to me email to click the verification link, which took me back to the sign in page on my desktop computer. I try to sign in and nothing happens.

    I go back to the app and try to sign in there and I get an error message that I don’t have an account or that I need to verify my account. Which is impossible to do. I’ve tried in three different browsers with no success. This, this app and the Merlin app are impossible to use.
