2025 Update

Easy to use, full of information to help on that next twitch, or notify RBA of a new bird or an update on a rarity.

Works well

Love it

Dave

Very good communication all sorted

Very Buggy

Had the App for a couple of weeks now.
It’s ok when it works but was very difficult to set up initially. Kept telling me to log in when I already was.
After reinstalling it I finally got it to work but it crashes almost every day.
Sometimes I find it easier to just go online and pick up the news directly from the BirdAlert website.

Average reporting platform

Good for the reports but that’s mostly on the birds/birders really… Incredibly buggy, and whole system seems very dated and plain… Gallery is hard to navigate.
