Sounds back!
With the return of sound this apps rating returns to 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️s
No audio
Looks like it would be a good app but I have no audio, and I bought the app for the songs. For a paid app, I expected more.
My Sound is Back
I originally purchased this app for my second generation iPad Pro (12.9 in), and it performed beautifully. Then I upgraded to a newly released software version and totally lost the sound on the app. I was without sound for over a year. Recently, I upgraded to iOS 13.1.3, and discovered that the sound had returned and was once again working perfectly. I could not find another app to replace the song quality on this app, so I am quite pleased to find the app once again working properly.

Never worked
The audio for this app never worked. Which kind of defeats the point of things. A total waste of money.
Be afraid
Purchased this over a year ago and every time I try to use it, the app wants to reload. I recently deleted it and attempted a new upload thinking that might help. It won’t even load on my phone now. Doesn’t look like it’s been updated or had any bug fixes in over a year. Purchase at your own risk.
Songs
I cannot hear the sounds! Have volume on high! Help
Love It!! Says the bird geek. I love it!
Ok. I haven’t had it much more than an hour and I love it!!! Still don’t like the ‘hard number’ sightings but the rest is like BirdTunes in steroids. Did I say I love it?? Give me freedom of text in the sighting bar and I’m 100% going to recommend this to my classmates. Such a vast library. I’ve got my work cut out. Oh yea, I like it so much I bought Trees USA as well. I’m a dendro geek as well as an Orno geek and these fit nicely into my quiver. Keep up the good work!!

App crashes as soon as I select a bird
I’ve never been able to get this app to work. Now it crashes as soon as I select a bird. Doesn’t seem to have a new version to replace the one I have.
Worst ever app
Most difficult app to use. Only bird it works for is the mute swan.
Still slow and poor interface
This is probably still the best app for USA bird songs for iPhone. However, there is plenty to things not to like and most are little things. But seriously, why is it so slow? Just slow enough that you feel the need to tap again but it then responds and you end up jumping ahead. Why is there no “recent birds” option? Why are there no favorites? And navigating between species is so tedious. There was Birdtunes which had it right but has now gone. Hint to the authors of this app, take what reviewers liked about Birdtunes. Not that hard to do.
My biggest gripe is the location of the play button, why top right, the hardest place to reach??
I also feel the selection of songs for some species is not that great. I would gladly pay more for a more diverse set of songs.

Very useful app
The app is quite comprehensive and I use the songs “loop” feature when playing songs. I previously had the Birdtunes app and this is the best replacement I could find.
I have been notified by the developers that the sorely needed “favorites” feature will be added, and I read that a “last used” feature will be added also. Then it will be a 5 STAR app!
Thanks to the developers for listening to your users, we are waiting!

Clumsy and lacking
I can’t understand what happened to the excellent Birdtunes app - that I had (twice) paid for btw. It just disappeared from the App Store and seems to have been replaced with this. Gone is the ability to save favorites or even to access recent songs. To switch from bird to bird one must type in the name each time. This app is also missing some of the most effective recordings for calling birds in the field, and some songs have been wrongly categorized. The app’s usefulness in the field is seriously downgraded by how long it takes to access a bird. Still, it is the only one I have found that will play songs on loop and has all the species one would want.

Great App the best out there!
It’s a great app the best that I have found. I used to use a different app but with the ISO upgrade that app no longer works. I would give this app 5 stars only if I can mark a specific bird so the next time I use the app the bird I marked is right there. Instead of scrolling through all the birds again.

Perfect field companion
Thank god the annoying bug has been fixed, the app is now as fast as it should be. This is the app I have been waiting for replacing the app birdtunes! I have frequently used birdtunes in the field, an easy to use guide to quickly find and play different varieties of bird songs and calls without having to struggle to find the songs in hidden submenus. In my opinion this app is even better. I really like the simple way the app is structured, this app will become a constant companion in the field while out birding. 2 suggestions: favourite feature and last played section. Otherwise great!

God app
We will see if this new version is better than the old one. The slow startup was annoying. The app is missing a last used capability like Bird tunes had
Bird Songs of Canada and USA
This app does NOT work...it's very slow loading and will not open. I want my money back. I tried loading it on my iPad Pro!!!
Doesn’t work
Just downloaded the program to my iPad (newest version) Beautiful interface. Could not get get sounds to play. Turned off, started again and when I select a bird it crashes almost every time. The few times it does not crash, still do not get the songs. The sonogram plays through, just no sound. I loved Bird Tunes and if this would work as well, the program would be spectacular.
I am using the latest version of IOS 12.2.1 and the latest version of the iPad.
Any advice? I will download it for the third time.
12/31/17 update. Download for the third time. Ran without crashing. Excellent photos and excellent interface. However, still no sound. After rebooting the iPad, it crashes whenever I select a species. I am done wasting time on what has the potential of being one stunning program, if only it worked. I hope there will be an update to fix this problem.

I concur with the previous reviewer. It is slow to open. What is most upsetting is if you have several species selected you can’t get to the repeat selection without deleting all but one. I to would like Bird Tunes back
Very disappointed
I’m so disappointed in this app. I previously used Bird Tunes and loved it!!! Since this app supposedly replaced Bird Tune’s, which is no longer supported by Apple, I purchased it. First of all, It is very slow to open. I sometimes have to click on it five or more times before it finally opens up. Then it is difficult to navigate to the bird you want. Also, It doesn’t offer a “favorites” feature like Bird Tunes so that you can make a list for a trip, etc. I feel like I just wasted my money on this app. It has been so frustrating to use that I find myself going to the Sibley’s or Merlin app to listen to bird calls rather than using Bird Song app. I WANT BIRD TUNES BACK!!!!

Response from developer
Dear User, an udate is on the way which makes Bird Songs USA & Canada much faster! I agree this was a very annoying bug. There are three different modes to select your bird: dropdown list sorted by family (usually prefered by professionals, A-Z view with search ability + the galery view which groups related and similar birds prefered by most birders. A "favourites feature" is on its way too!
