### 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 — Not working - server error

*2021-10-22, version 2.21*

I enter my email address and then I get an error message that says, “Unexpected server error, please try again later”

I reached out to the service email address with Audubon and they said that it would be over a week before they have an answer from the developer, but nothing they can do now.

### 4/5 — Cool

*2020-12-28, version 2.21*

This app is really cool, I like to look at the owls and birds people have seen. This puzzles are a bit difficult but they are fun. I do not have to much more to say about the app, I do like though.

### 2/5 — Audubon

*2020-05-23, version 2.21*

Audubon Guide is nice, but they never updated all their wildlife apps. Purposely sold the other animal division to another company. Take your money then stick it to you. Then should of offered an extreme discount purchasers to upgrade to the New Version😡

### 4/5 — Would give stars if ...

*2019-11-25, version 2.21*

... it was sortable/searchable by state or region. Otherwise wonderful.

### 3/5 — RED LOCATION PIN LOCATED SOUTH OF GHANA?!!  Nuts!

*2019-11-14, version 2.21*

Is your programmer Ghanain?  Moving that bloody pin half way around the world renders nothing but emissions of profanity.  I’m most sorry, however, even lat/long co-ordinates would be an improvement?  So much for sharing.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-10-06, version 2.21*

Tried multiple emails and keeps saying unexpected error on the server. Gave up and deleted after several attempts.

### 1/5 — App has been ruined

*2019-10-05, version 2.21*

Suddenly the app changed and is all about personal experiences. For years this was my go-to app to listen to owl songs and try to identify what I’d heard at night. That ability has been dropped and it’s all about signing up to post sightings. Obviously someone coopted this app and made it something different. Deleting now.

### 3/5 — Cool but buggy app

*2018-08-17, version 2.19*

I downloaded this app for my toddler, and the download video command seems like it could help for viewing videos in the absence of an internet connection. However, the videos appear to be bugged as tapping on any video prompts you to download the app content, even after you have already successfully done so. The pictures and owl calls all work, this appears limited to the videos (which is one of the biggest reasons I downloaded). Otherwise, a nice app!

### 5/5 — Not Working.

*2018-08-04, version 2.19*

It's not letting me access the app even though I have an Audubon account. It wants people who are already registered with Audubon to enter their password twice (which seems silly). I enter mine and tap to go to the next field; then the app locks up and I can't get any farther. 
ERHmd

Date: several years later. 
I can get into the app now. The owl calls make it great all by themselves.

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Still not working - Unexpected, unexplained, uncorrected, Server Error

*2022-01-30, version 2.21*

When it's worked over the years, great.  Not for months.  Are the owners/developers just not competent enough to keep up with iOS 
updates, of which there has constant flood?

### 1/5 — Does not allow me to log in with email

*2021-11-07, version 2.21*

Tried multiple times over the course of several days to login using my email and it said there was an unexpected server error every time. Was never able to access the app. Deleted.

### 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.

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2021-07-03, version 2.21*

So far so good. The app is working good and I hope I have no problems in the future. Thank you

### 5/5 — Audubon

*2020-12-01, version 2.21*

Ok so I have been going to Audubon classes in tops field MA and last class we did birds. So I set up feeders and now I am WAY MORE interested in birds then then

### 5/5 — Very good

*2020-08-17, version 2.21*

Informative, educational, entertaining, and above all cool!

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2020-05-08, version 2.21*

I really like this app. Identified an owl in like two seconds. Also played the voice to an owl n it responded bu coming close to see hoo I was.

### 5/5 — Excellent sounds

*2020-01-12, version 2.21*

My first night using it and I was able to call an eastern screech owl and the little guy responded over and over , then flew over my head .

### 5/5 — Volunteer

*2019-03-03, version 2.21*

Great for Junior Ranger education programs

### 5/5 — Owls

*2019-01-31, version 2.21*

Great

### 5/5 — Voice recognition

*2018-08-27, version 2.19*

I use the app to verify my nighttime owl observations. Very satisfied with consistency of eastern owl sounds with recordings in app.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2018-08-25, version 2.19*

Great app- informational and fun. The only problem I see with this app is in the Photo Quiz, where it asks a Boreal owl, but the correct answer is a juvenile Northern Saw-Whet. That's the only problem, otherwise, it's great!
