It was amazing. ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2026-08-08, version 1.4.1* I really like birds and this app isn’t bad for identifying different ones. However, the zoom isn’t enough. What if there’s a bird I like in the trees but the zooming can’t reach it? It’s way too short. Please make it bigger! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-07, version 1.4.1* Great for beginners ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-01, version 1.4.0* A1 ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-01, version 1.4.0* This app is so good when you’re scratching g your head wondering what the bird is. So quick and accurate ### 5/5 — Birds! *2026-07-29, version 1.4.0* My partner is blind and i am a nature nerd. When we came together the squawks and tweets of birds became a key contributor to our happiness. This app allows us to identify birds by sound which is important to her. Limpkins are her favorite. 🧡 ### 5/5 — Bacurau Encontrado *2026-07-29* Encontrou o passaro que piava a 200m de onde estava e acertou! Muito bom! Recomendo! ### 5/5 — Identify a bird by sound *2026-07-27, version 1.4.0* I heard a bird chirping on my front porch and I wanted to know what type of bird it was this app help me do that quickly ### 5/5 — Addictive *2026-07-24, version 1.4.0* Had a few surprises 🤔😍🫢 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Péssimo app *2026-08-29* Te obriga a assinar um contrato de 200 reais para saber que o tuiuiu do mato está no cio ### 1/5 — Maybe not *2026-08-27, version 1.7.0* A bird I couldn’t see was making an enormous loud fuss by the river. I thought I would trial the app to identify it. There were 2 mallard quacks as well. The app alighted on the mallard and ignored the loud and persistent call I was trying to identify. ### 1/5 — Scam? *2026-08-24, version 1.6.0* I just found out I have been charged $39.98 3 times since July 7, 2026 and I would never approve such a transaction. ### 1/5 — Not trustworthy *2026-08-09, version 1.4.1* This app does not have any self-serve options to cancel. It causes me to not trust this app with my information. It’s 2026., there should be no difficulty for a person to self-serve to cancel a membership. The app itself doesn’t work where I live because the traffic is too noisy. ### 1/5 — Do NOT purchase *2026-07-30, version 1.4.0* Next to useless in the UK. Mis-identified birdsong that could not even have been in this country. The camera function is worse, the zoom entirely ineffective and would not identify even with an added zoom lens. Whilst feeding ducks literally at my feet it could still not identify them from pictures. I wish I had read reviews first. No reply when I contacted for refund. Avoid at all costs. ### 1/5 — Erreur de commande *2026-07-28* J ai fait une erreur de commande et le service client ne me réponds pas. J ai utilisé l appli une fois et elle s est trompée d oiseau… ### 1/5 — Nicht kostenlos *2026-07-22* Leider verbirgt sich unter der Suchanzeige kostenlose App ein kostenpflichtiges Abo. Nirgendswo steht, wie man es wieder kündigen kann. Der Preis von über 50 € im Jahr ist gesalzen. ### 1/5 — Mistake *2026-07-19, version 1.3.3* I looked for Merlin app this one overtook search. Not paying attention I clicked forgot to cancel free trial and am left with an app that only identifies one at a time. Frustrating and limiting. Have cancelled auto resubscribe. Disappointed to have wasted £39.99 ### 1/5 — Nul. *2026-07-14* Payan pub application qui prend trop de place n’importe quoi en plus les bleu perde 0 a 1 face à l’Espagne nul quoi ### 1/5 — 7 Day free trial *2026-07-02, version 1.3.3* So this app is not good. The 7 Day free trial sets you into a subscription that isn’t clearly discussed when reviewing & downloading. Then the camera zoom function only uses 1/3 of my iPhones ability. So it can’t identify most birds from any distance, or if it does it’s incorrect. Do not download, I’ve removed this app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Résultats justes et fiches détaillées *2026-08-30, version 1.7.0* L’application permet d’enregistrer le chant d’un oiseau et de l’identifier facilement. Parfait pour les amoureux de la nature ! ### 5/5 — So interesting *2026-08-25, version 1.6.0* Very impressive ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2026-08-23, version 1.6.0* Such a wonderful app. I love finding out which birds are singing in the garden or when out on walks ### 5/5 — Bird Song identification *2026-08-22, version 1.6.0* A friend recommended this app to me. He demonstrated it capturing birdsong and identifying the different species. Very clever. ### 5/5 — Beginner to Bird Watching *2026-08-22, version 1.6.0* I am a beginner just trying to get into bird watching. I love bird song and observing nature. This app is wonderful, I can take pictures of birds or an audio recording of bird song and it will analyze and tell me what bird it is. I find that it has been correct every time so far. It tells you all about the species and it also includes a cool bird of the day part! If you’re a nature lover, looking to get into bird watching, or just simply curious to learn more about birds this is a great app for that! It has become apart of my daily life. I enjoy my morning lemon water while journaling and learning about the bird songs I can hear. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-22, version 1.6.0* Super cool app. One of the few I am willing to pay for. I use it for birds around home, on vacation, when I visit family and friends, or even in a parking lot at the doctor’s office. It can’t discern overlapping bird sounds or ignore background noises like trains, planes, or cars. So make your recordings when there are no other noises. ### 5/5 — It’s Clever *2026-08-21, version 1.6.0* Love this app and really surprised at how many different varieties of birds we have here in the UK and birds that travel so far to come and stay with us. ### 5/5 — Birdscope *2026-08-19, version 1.5.0* I love it because it helps me to keep up with birds ### 5/5 — Top! *2026-08-10* Le shazam des oiseaux! ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-09, version 1.4.1* Very good app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
