After upgrading to a professional camera I took a few shots and now I’m hooked. I was looking for an app that would tell me what birds I was capturing and how they live. This has provided me with more information than I needed. Some of the birds that I photographed in Mallorca I now know that they are extremely rare. If you want to know about birds in your area or what I now do this is the app for you. 10/10. Thank you ### 5/5 — All Birds UK *2023-04-01, version 2.1* Have only just started using the app. Gives me all I need concisely. Easy to use. So glad I downloaded it. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-10-02, version 2.1* Great little app and worth the money. Perfect field guide for any birder. ### 5/5 — Excellent field guide *2022-07-09, version 2.1* I’ve used this app for several years now and find it an excellent guide to identifying birds in the field - saving the need to carry a heavy book with me. It also scores over a book with the superb selection of songs and calls which I’ve used to confirm an identification. I’ve given the 5 stars based on this experience. However, the app is not so good for recording your sightings. I probably pushed it further than the designers expected with about 20 lists for sites I’d visited sometimes on several occasions. The app became unbearably slow at saving recordings and in the end I gave up with it. I haven’t lost my records as the app offers the ability to export your lists as CSV files which you can import to Excel. But be aware that the export contains the GPS map coordinates of the sightings so if you didn’t record your list by location you‘ll have trouble working out what you saw where. There are other apps for recording records including one from the BTO, but I’ve decided to go back to pen an paper and will use the RSPB bird lists. Recordings of ten outings for £1 seems pretty good value to me. ### 5/5 — Good! *2022-06-02, version 2.1* Easy to use and a comprehensive library of birds. ### 5/5 — Helpful in lots of ways *2022-05-06, version 2.1* This app has lots of details about the birds, from pictures to song. It helps you identify their eggs. I can also find the name of birds in Portuguese! Finally, the option to record sightings is just great! ### 5/5 — Great *2022-03-14, version 2.1* Wonderful just got back to bird watching after many years, tried several free apps which were ok but glad I purchased this one which is far more comprehensive with fantastic photos and information great. John Brad ### 5/5 — Best Bird App *2020-08-23, version 2.1* The photographs are excellent and generally cover male, female, juvenile, in flight and at rest. This is the most helpful bird spotting app that I have found. I definitely think it’s worth the money. ### 4/5 — Superb Bird Guide *2020-07-09, version 2.0* The photographs are superb and really do help in identifying the birds seen in the UK. One thing puzzles me though why the recordings sometimes have a country location which is far from here. The blackbird recorded in New Zealand for example! Would have thought recordings in the UK would more accurately reflect the nuances of the calls of our birds here. A User Guide would be helpful.m ### 3/5 — Basic *2020-07-06, version 1.6.2* This app has given my the basic info I need. Would love it to include a life list to tick off. Also more images of juveniles and variations. ## Frequently asked questions about All Birds UK ### What does the All Birds UK app do?
