Not working for me/UPDATE

A few days later, the grey catbird sounds are audible and clear. Bravo! I have to try some more cards

Doesn’t work with the Cornell flash cards. Pulls up grey catbird, song and two calls, but I’m not hearing anything. Volume is max

No sound

There is no sound. It opens to the correct files and plays with zero sound. My toddler is not amused.

Cannot hear any calls or songs

I am able to scan the codes, but when I press play there is no sound … disappointing. Willing to change my rating upon fixing of the issue

Turn silent mode off on your phone for sound

This app should work for you if you turn silent mode off on your phone and put your volume up a bit.

Works for me

I wish this app had more positive reviews, since the negative ones seem to be a few years old. As of 02/2022, the app works fine on my iPhone SE. It’s a fun app to supplement my ornithology course.

Doesn’t work

It loads, if scans, if tries… but no sound comes out :-((

Awesome

Easy to use, quickly hear specific bird calls. Very handy when trying to identify a bird by sound only.

Amazing, for the first day- then, stopped working.

I purchased the product because my son loves birds and I thought this concept was really neat. IT WAS! We loved it. My son lit up! But it only worked for a day. Literally. It’s been a real let down.

Doesn’t work

Audio doesn’t work in the app. It’s easier to just search the birds in the Merlin ID app and listen there instead. I hope it gets fixed though it would be cool and convenient if it worked with the book!

Turn off silent/vibrate mode to hear

Annoying that you have to turn off silent mode on your phone. At first I heard nothing and was really ready to slam this app but now it seems to work well. Using iPhone 8+.

No volume

Set my iPhone X volume to max setting but I don’t hear anything :(

No sound

I can scan and play but, am unable to hear the playback. I don’t have this issue with any other apps.

No sound

I can get it to scan but hear nothing once I press play!

Stopped working

I loved this app and then it stopped working!

App stopped working

After having this for a year and a half the app no longer works. You load the bird calls and try and press play, there is just a grey spinning circle and it never works. Please fix!

Problems

Mine stopped working this week also.

Stopped working

After 10 months of working fine every day - won’t get past swirling wheel to play calls. I was trying to decide between this calendar or the Audubon for 2020. Without a fix will likely go back to Audubon.

11/2019 sound glitch

I’ve been using this great calendar for months and suddenly there is a problem. When clicking to listen to calls it won’t connect - only spins and then freezes. PLEASE FIX.

App is glitching

When we click to hear bird songs, we just get the rotating wheel. Was working great until about three days ago. Please fix!

No longer works

Sounds no longer play. Hit play and just get the spinning wheel. Spins for about 30 seconds then crashes out. Please fix.
