It’s helped me identify a variety of birds and bugs, and the info it provides is very educational ### 4/5 — Fantastic App for Beginners *2025-03-17* As a beginner birdwatcher, I love this app! It’s simple to use and helps me learn about the birds I see on my hikes. The identification is spot on every time! ### 4/5 — Very Accurate and Reliable *2025-03-13* I’ve used this app several times, and it always identifies the birds or insects accurately. The interface is very straightforward, and it’s a great tool for learning more about nature. ### 2/5 — Not free *2025-02-08* Expected it to be free and when I got it, it was not free so I’m kind of annoyed about that and I easily tricked it by going cheap cheap cheap and it thought I was a king rail so that means it wasn’t very good app cause usually apps are much Better quality ### 2/5 — Disappointing App *2024-04-29* poor descriminator of bird chirps requiring multiple attempts and then failing to identify bird ### 1/5 — No stars *2024-04-13* Does not work. Will not pick up bird sounds. Extremely dissapointing, especially for the price. ### 1/5 — Review *2024-04-09* This app doesn’t work and I have complained with no results. I paid for a year for nothing in return. This doesn’t even deserve one star. ### 1/5 — Sounds and pics *2024-04-01* This app does not work. There is no way to contact and get your money back. Do Not Get This App. It’s a scam! I live in the PNW and had birds in Asia and other parts of the country. The pic I took of a bird identified as an ant. ### 1/5 — Identify *2024-03-30* I live in the PNW and this app could not identify one bird here, with a pic or sound. I do not recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Way off *2024-03-21* The results are birds that don’t even live on my continent. ### 1/5 — This app does not work. *2024-03-16* Trust me I don’t have swans in my backyard. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money. *2024-03-15* This app is terrible. ### 2/5 — Marsh Wren = SoundCloud Lofi beat *2023-11-10* Heard a Carolina wren, pileated woodpecker, painted bunting, red-shouldered hawk; which apparently ALL sound like rosy-faced lovebirds to this app. Had a red-bellied woodpecker call 8 feet away from me and the app registered it as a marsh wren. The marsh wren playback call is literally a minute twenty-seven second long jazz lofi soundcloud BANGER!!! Who woulda thought a lil wren could have so much breadth, not to mention a whole 3-part instrumental track built into its lungs. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2023-10-30* Not priced as advertised and not Australian birds Don’t buy this should have looked at reviews correct a bad app ### 1/5 — Unusable *2023-10-06* All this app does is solicit you to subscribe monthly or yearly. You can’t use it because every time you try it’s tying your screen up with subscription ad. Waste of time ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Is this bird interview *2025-04-27, version 1.4.9* Is this bird interview or bird sounds identifier ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-11-16* Can’t use as free app have to subscribe ### 1/5 — Hits you with fees *2024-08-29* Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Identifier did not work *2024-07-03* I was never able to have a bird identified by their song. I even recorded the bird’s song for 30 seconds. ### 1/5 — No stars *2024-06-11* Does not work. Will not pick up bird sounds. Extremely dissapointing, especially for the price. ### 1/5 — AI Fail *2024-04-30* Whatever this app uses to ID birds is just awful. I gave it a clear picture of a female western bluebird and it gave me a LIZARD as a result. I also gave it some bird calls and it just flat out refused to generate any sort of ID. Just use Merlin or Birda ### 1/5 — App can’t tell the difference between sound or image identifier *2024-04-27* Clearly using the microphone, recording sound, keeps telling me it can’t identify the image. Junk ### 1/5 — No stars *2024-04-26* Does not work. Will not pick up bird sounds. Extremely dissapointing, especially for the price. ### 1/5 — Colin Lynch *2024-04-21* Downloaded this app. Every bird I try to identify with the app, the app was incorrect and identifying the bird. From Songbird it was telling me it was a seagull. Ridiculous! ### 1/5 — Not happy *2024-04-20* Horrible app it needs a longer time to download sounds and identify ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Alhussieinjo *2026-02-03, version 1.5.0* Alhussieinjo ### 5/5 — Perfect for Birdwatchers *2025-03-18* This app is perfect for anyone who loves birdwatching. I can quickly identify any bird I come across, and the info provided helps me understand them better. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Quick and Convenient *2025-03-13* I was amazed at how fast this app identified a bug I found in my garden. The accuracy is excellent, and it provides so much helpful info about each species. ### 5/5 — Bird *2024-07-18* I love this bird app ### 5/5 — Bug and birs identifier *2022-05-04* I love this app. ### 5/5 — Bird parade in Texas *2022-04-15, version 1.0* You only need a semi good picture for it to work. And it works well. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2022-04-15, version 1.0* First time I have seen this in Texas ### 5/5 — Funny and amazing *2022-04-15, version 1.0* Just wanted to know what bird it was tapping on my window!! I love this app so simple. Thank you ### 5/5 — The App is great *2022-04-15, version 1.0* Sure, sometimes you need a better picture of the bird. But this app has never been wrong on identifying any bird I’ve needed to identify. ### 5/5 — Love This App *2022-04-15, version 1.0* Blown away with this APP!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
