Credit card required
The app seems nice but it says it’s free and still needs a credit card to complete registration?! No thanks
Fun and easy
The links to bird pictures and descriptions make it easy to identify local birds. I’m terrible at remembering bird names but this app makes it really entertaining.
I only wish the names were easier to read. Right now they are white text with gray highlighting which is a little hard on the eyes if you’re scrolling a lot. And if I click to sort the sightings by date I wish it would stay that way so I didn’t have to click it again.
Small complaints given the ease of use. Thanks for such a cool tracker!

Distracting banner ads that can't be removed
This used to be clean and neat. Now, there are flashy distracting ads constantly displayed at the bottom of the screen - and no way to make them disappear?
Really? No remove ads in-app purchase? No paid successive versions?
There's not enough room on the screen for birds and fantasy game ads (do birders in general even play fantasy war games? My game is finding real birds in real nature!

Terrific App!
I have used this app for quite a while now and love all of the features it has. Whether I know what bird I am looking at or not, it is super fast and easy to use, and it does not require an Internet connection. Start typing the name, and suggestions immediately appear. If I don’t know the bird, I can use the search feature to search by family. The app grabs and records my location, but if I want to wait and enter birds after I get home, I can easily position the map to where I saw the bird, and it gets recorded. There is a great comment feature that allows me to pick male or female, by sight or by ear, and I can add my own comments. I love the share feature and appreciate the recent update that now allows me to share an individual sighting. I no longer use my bird journal since I started using Big Year Birding. Why would I? The app does everything my journal did and more, is much faster, and is on my phone which I have with me all of the time. This app is a must have for every birder!

A Great App for Free!
This app has everything a birder could want and more. It is easy to use and very fast. When logging birds in the field these features are key. The birds come and go in the blink of an eye, and we need identify log them as quickly as possible, While I understand that no ads are better than a small banner add at the bottom of the screen, I believe this is a very small price to pay for such a useful app.
