Great concept, virtually non functional

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

Camera button needs to show up faster birds fly away🕊️🕊️😭

Cool concept but camera does not always identify the bird

Great app

So much fun!!! Would love a feature where you can hear the sound the birds make to help identify the bird.

Incorrect Species

I’ve noticed recently that some species (Such as Carrion Crow and Hooded Crow) are the same species in the app whereas on all other bird ID sites and apps they are listed as separate species. This is a problem cause it messes with peoples Birda Life List and Life List on other apps, making them different and could cause confusion
