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.

The latest update broke the app

The filters on the Bird ID selection have disappeared from the app when using my iPad Mini. They are there on my iPhone. It’s hard to ID birds without the filters.

TERRIBLE CONTACT SUPPORT

Unwilling to help recover an account for a long time user. SHAMEFUL.

Great app, some hurdles to use

This is the best bird ID app available for Apple devices. So straightforward to use, and lovingly presented. NOTE: The app will ask you for account login or email address in order to access it, and this cannot be done without cell or WiFi access, and the process for downloading the app's content to your phone so that the app works without connectivity doesn't get pushed through until *after* you log in, so make sure you get everything set up at home before you take it into the field.
