Worst app ever. All AI. Canceled, and they still took $60. Zero support, no way to get to a human. Wish I could leave 0 stars, they don’t even deserve 1.

I like birds, and i like bird watching, and this helps me log and post about what i find
VinceTheGooseVinceTheGoose

would give 0 if i could

tried the one week trial, knew the app wasn’t something i’d use. it’s no more helpful then ebird or merlin or free apps out there. i tried cancelling the app via the instructions and it said no active subscription in my apple account to cancel so must not exist but was automatically charged 35$ for the year fee. they don’t explain you need to go through paddle (the app that collects payment for them) to cancel this- nowhere in their website or instructions is this explained. so confusing and a total rip off

Great concept, virtually non functional

Really hope this app improves, but the identification capabilities are pretty tragic, even with good photos
