Wish there was a paid version to eliminate ads and enjoy an enhanced experience ### 3/5 — Ads *2025-07-29, version 74.0.0* It’s ok so far but it has ADS ### 2/5 — Wrong I’d *2025-07-27, version 74.0.0* Tried twice with same bird and received two incorrect answers- my photo was a butcher bird but the ap described it as a shriek the first time and kingfisher the second time. Can’t trust the results ### 2/5 — Sales *2025-06-05* App is okay but constant video game ads that won’t stop until it plays in full is annoying. I don’t do video games **Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about your experience. 😔📢 Bird Identifier is free to use, and ads help us keep it that way. 🚀 We’re working on improving the user experience to make ads less disruptive. Thanks for your feedback—it helps us grow! 🌿 ### 2/5 — To many ads *2025-05-26, version 74.0.0* The app is good in its self but you get too many ads after every picture and then when trying to save it and then when you want to view it again ### 2/5 — Carolina House Finch *2025-05-24, version 74.0.0* You misidentified my photo as a Northern Cardinal when it’s actually a Carolina House Finch. ### 2/5 — Sales *2025-05-23* App is okay but constant video game ads that won’t stop until it plays in full is annoying. I don’t do video games ### 4/5 — App Problems *2025-04-08, version 73.0.0* To many adds when you view birds. ### 4/5 — Great app but a few weird things *2025-03-04, version 73.0.0* This app let me knows every bird’s name that i saw! The mistake is that my brother made a paper bird and the app think that is a real bird!!! ### 2/5 — Gallery Photo’s *2025-02-23, version 73.0.0* I attempted to create an account to see my photo’s but to activate it you need to confirm in an email I’m supposed to receive. Checked my email several times including spam folder and nothing there. Can’t activate the account. Tried to recreate the account and message says my email already exists yet I can’t log in. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-02-19, version 73.0.0* I have attended a falconry display and was able to get very close to the birds. I took photos of the birds. I took 3 photos of one bird and was presented with 3 different birds but not the right one. I did this for throughout the show and it didn’t get one right!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-06-16, version 74.0.1* Installed the app and the first time I used it the app opened a pop-up saying, “Your account has been restricted. We have detected that your device has been hacked after visiting adult websites.” Total BS. Scam! ### 1/5 — Accuracy? *2026-02-10, version 74.0.0* Consistently misidentifies birds that I already know. ### 1/5 — Sales *2026-01-24, version 74.0.0* This is Michigan. We don’t have robins in January . Every bird I take a photo of is a robin according to you. WTH? Not helpful at all. ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t work *2025-08-30, version 74.0.0* This app might be good, if it actually worked. I never could get past Profile. It just gave me the option to sign in or delete the account. ### 1/5 — Intrusive ads *2025-06-14, version 74.0.0* The ads are so intrusive and inappropriate ### 1/5 — Horrible! Google picture works 100x better. Do not buy! I want a refund! *2025-06-07, version 74.0.0* It guess my boyfriend as a blue Robin!! I tried to use it on several breeds of chicken and it was totally off or just said “chicken”. I wish I could post the screenshots here of my results!! ### 1/5 — extraneous ads *2025-04-19, version 73.0.0* The app keeps asking to install other apps to id plants etc which i don’t want and there is apparently no way to stop it! ### 1/5 — Wrong birds! *2025-04-08, version 73.0.0* Do not download consistently provides incorrect bird names even when provided perfect quality images. Your photos app will give you better results without this. ### 1/5 — Scan a chicken *2025-03-20, version 73.0.0* I scanned my chicken and it told me it was a canary this does not work it a waste of money don’t buy theses people don’t know anything about birds ### 1/5 — Wrong I’d *2025-02-21, version 73.0.0* Identified a female cardinal as a mallard duck ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Charlee *2025-08-02, version 74.0.0* The best app in the world it’s free and you can identify birds and I personally love it and I think you should try it too ### 5/5 — Information *2025-05-08, version 73.0.0* It’s has a lot of interesting stuff ### 5/5 — Birds *2025-04-16, version 73.0.0* I LOVE THIS APP🩷🩵💙💕💖💞💘💓💝💗 ### 5/5 — Helpful game (birds) *2025-04-09, version 73.0.0* This game is really helpful with birds. ### 5/5 — Red Shouldered Hawk *2025-02-20, version 73.0.0* I’m impressed with this bird identification tool, quick I’d, plus considerable information given about each bird species as well as habitat and feeding habits. ### 5/5 — Birds *2024-07-26* Best app to identify birds ### 5/5 — Confidence good *2024-04-14, version 70.0.0* Good like how it tells me the confidence it has in its answer.
