Insuffienct

Doesn’t appear to have the range of British birds.

Useless on an iPhone

If you were expecting to identify an unseen bird vocalising close by, on an iPhone, forget it! Time and time again it produces ridiculous matches.

If you have a fair idea of what the bird is, it’s a useful reference tool, but there are better and cheaper alternatives.

A waste of money.

Less is not more, poor app.

Not enough bird calls on this app, many British Birds missing.
Get a different app.

Not fit for purpose

I think the birds would need to be trained to stand in front of a microphone in a professional recording studio and have a few training sessions to make it on to a short list of three possibilities.

Very Poor

Very disappointed with this. Very rarely seems to identify birds correctly. I recently tried this app whilst very close to a Cuckoo which was very clear with no other bird song evident and got a ridiculous range of birds (the top match came up as a Wren ! Don’t bother with this app.

FAQ

What does the Bird Song ID UK app do?

The app allows you to record bird songs and then uses automatic recognition technology to help identify the species. It is designed to work offline, meaning no internet or mobile connection is required for the identification process.

How accurate is the bird song identification?

In testing with over 1,000 samples, the app achieved a success rate of 85% in identifying the correct bird within the top three listed results. The accuracy is highly dependent on the quality of the recording.

Does the app require an internet connection?

No, a key feature of this app is its offline functionality. Automatic recognition takes place entirely on the device, so you do not need an internet or mobile network connection to identify bird songs.

How can I ensure a good quality recording for better identification?

For optimal results, record only when a single bird is singing clearly, ensure the song is loud and the environment is quiet. Aim for recordings with plenty of blue and green peaks reaching the top of the analysis graph, and ensure the audio quality is rated as 'Good' or higher.

What are the common use cases for this app?

This app is ideal for birdwatchers, hikers, and nature lovers who encounter birds singing in the wild. It helps identify species encountered during walks or outdoor activities, enhancing the experience of observing wildlife.
