Bug fixes and performance improvements.

New Update

Usually this app is pretty great but the most recent update has blurred all the pictures for similar birds. IMO that kind of defeats the purpose because I can’t quickly glance at those to go back and forth comparing. Please update this bug :)

Response from developer

Hi Zelda, we're sorry about this and totally understand your frustration — those photo previews are usually a great tool for quick comparisons! Our team is actively working on a fix and we'll have them back as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and happy birding!

New update is horrible

Can’t see birds without opening individual pictures. Do better

Response from developer

Hi, we're sorry for the frustration and appreciate you alerting us to this bug. Our team is actively working on a fix, and we'll update here as soon as it's resolved.

Great bird identification app

We use the app all the time to identify birds in our wooded backyard and when we are out walking. It works very well and I highly recommend it.

This is the best bird app!

This app is so good for learning about birds and how to bird watch, because the pictures provided for every species are so beautiful and all the information is very useful when birding. But when I try to use the filters in the bird ID section, like the color and location, it doesn’t work (or maybe I’m doing something wrong?).

Glitchy App

Let me start off by saying I love this app and normally I’d give it 5 stars.

In the current version there is a glitch with the keyboard that makes the app almost impossible to use. I’ll go to type, and then suddenly the keyboard will disappear not allowing me to fully type what I wanted to type.

Considering this app is a guide and you need to type things to look things up, I’m going to rate this two stars until it gets fixed.
