### 1/5 — App won’t allow login

*2023-01-25, version 2.21*

Not interested in using Facebook to login. Option to use email does not function. Really sad.  As much as Audubon members donate, this seems like a small ask to fix an app that hasn’t seen an update in years.

### 1/5 — Unexpected server error

*2022-12-12, version 2.21*

Not worth it 😡😡

### 1/5 — Unexpected Error

*2022-12-04, version 2.21*

Still no fix Unexpected Error issue when trying to access the app. The app was recommended by a State Park employee, to bad it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-11-08, version 2.21*

I excitedly downloaded the app but unfortunately had to remove it. It’s a free app but you must enter an email address or sign in with facebook, neither work so you can’t even get past the main splash screen.  ‘’an unexpected internal error has occurred, try again later.”

### 1/5 — Iz review

*2022-11-04, version 2.21*

Ok so to start I couldn’t even get into the app. Like it kept me at the sign in and it didn’t really go anywhere.

### 1/5 — Invasive

*2022-10-15, version 2.21*

App would not let me in without giving Audubon my email. Dumped it immediately.

### 2/5 — Can’t access

*2022-08-22, version 2.21*

Even though I have an account it tells me that there is a server error. Although my wife can access through her cell.

### 1/5 — Network error

*2022-07-05, version 2.21*

You have to register and it seems like both ways are broken, I keep receiving a  network error

### 1/5 — Signup Server Error | 0 Support

*2022-04-30, version 2.21*

Repeated attempts to signup at the startup as a new user result in a server error. Customer support non-existent. Reports of the bug was not replied to. The contact form on the website was also defunct.

### 5/5 — Great reference

*2022-03-21, version 2.21*

I use this app to listen to their sound. We hear a few owls through the summer at night. I can compare what I heard with this app and make a pretty certain identification.
