Hi there, thank you for leaving a comment. I understand your frustration about paying but we made the choice deliberately to make the app add free for a distraction free experience. And the cost of the app (2.49$/month) is for covering our server costs. To get a sense of what the app feels like, I added a 7-day free trial without paying so that you can see if the app is worth paying for before giving any money. Hope these give you a better view of our thought process and intentions.
Fun casual birding game
I do have one suggestion though. It’d be nice to select the photo of the bird you’d want to keep if you end up taking multiple photos of them.
Response from developer
Thank you so much for the kind words and the thoughtful review! 🐦 I'm really glad the app feels simple and fun. That's exactly what I'm going for, especially for folks just getting into birding. And I appreciate you understanding the ad-free, subscription approach; keeping the experience clean and distraction-free is important to me. Your suggestion is a great one, being able to pick your favourite shot when you've taken several photos of the same bird makes a lot of sense. I've added it to my list and will look at building it into a future update. Thanks again for taking the time to share this! 🙌
Дорого
Response from developer
Спасибо за отзыв! Понимаю, что месячная цена может показаться высокой. Поэтому есть годовая подписка. в пересчёте на месяц она выходит значительно дешевле. А ещё перед оплатой доступна бесплатная неделя, чтобы спокойно попробовать все функции и решить, подходит ли вам приложение. Я сознательно отказался от рекламы, чтобы наблюдение за птицами оставалось приятным и без отвлечений, а подписка помогает покрывать расходы на серверы и развитие приложения. Если решите попробовать. буду рад услышать ваше мнение! 🐦
Расстроило

Здравствуйте! Спасибо за ваш комментарий. Я понимаю ваше недовольство платой, но мы намеренно сделали приложение без рекламы, чтобы оно не отвлекало пользователя. А стоимость приложения (2,49 доллара в месяц) покрывает расходы на сервер. Чтобы вы могли оценить работу приложения, я добавил 7-дневную бесплатную пробную версию, чтобы вы могли решить, стоит ли за него платить, прежде чем платить деньги. Надеюсь, это даст вам лучшее представление о наших мыслях и намерениях.

Good but some extra features
Response from developer
Really glad you're enjoying it! Bird calls and more detailed facts are great suggestions. We have some exciting features in the pipeline that we think you'll love. Stay tuned! 🐦

Thanks for the feedback Razreilly! Pricing is always a balancing act and we appreciate knowing what feels right for our users. We will take your input into consideration in the future updates.
Looks good but requires subscription
Response from developer
Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughtful suggestion! We really appreciate you taking the time to share this. An ad-supported free tier is something we've thought about - the challenge is that our server costs make it difficult to sustain without a subscription model. That said, your feedback is genuinely helpful as we think about how to make the app more accessible. We'll keep this in mind as we plan future updates. Thanks again for the support!
Price
Response from developer
EDIT: Hi Mkkre, I just released the new version and updated the incorrectly represented price. Sorry again for the confusion. Hi Mkkre, I'm sorry that you faced this discrepancy! Apparently, I forgot to update the description of the app after the price change we had due to increased server costs. It was an honest mistake and I will update the description right away with the new 1.0.5 version once that is released. Again, I'm sorry for this and thank you for letting me know about this issue.
Missing birds
Response from developer
Hi and thank you for leaving a comment! I'm glad that you are enjoying the experience! I'm sorry to hear that some bird species are missing :(. I would be very happy to resolve that issue right away so that the experience is better! Do you mind reaching out to support@kazansoftware.com so that we can keep the conversation going and I can pinpoint the problem from your input about the specific bird species? Best, Kazan Software
Great bird identification game!

Hi there, Thank you for leaving a comment. I understand your frustration about paying but we made that choice deliberately to make the app add free for a distraction free experience. And the cost of the app (1.66$/month) is for covering our server costs. To get a sense of what the app feels like, I added a 7-day free trial without paying so that you can see if the app is worth paying for before giving any money.

Nice idea
Response from developer
Thank you for the detailed feedback! You are absolutely right that scientific precision matters. Latin names are actually currently in the app but your review tells us they are hidden too deep. We will work on making them much more visible in the next update. Regarding the regions: Our goal was to create a massive 'European Collection' to challenge players to explore, but we hear you loud and clear that a 900+ list can feel unmanageable for daily local use. We are looking into adding sub-region filters to help with this. As for the Blue Tit mix up: That is definitely frustrating. Distinguishing between closely related species is our top priority right now and it will get sharper with every update. We hope you'll keep an eye on us as we grow!
Birdwatching Made Fun and Addictive
Response from developer
I love hearing this! Sometimes we all need a little nudge to get out the door, and I'm thrilled Birder is doing that for you. It’s awesome that you're racking up those 'small wins' with your collection. Thanks for the amazing feedback!
Best Bird Finder!
Response from developer
Thank you so much for this beautiful review! We are thrilled to hear that the app has helped you and your toddler connect with nature. Turning walks into shared adventures is exactly what we hoped to achieve. Welcome to the birdwatching community. We’re so happy to have you both!

Just download iNatralist instead
Response from developer
Hi there, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Our app is designed with a completely different goal than other identification apps: it is a Collection Game. We built it for people who want to complete a set of birds in their region rather than just identifying birds. We love to collect and get the satisfaction of completing a collection, and we love birds and bird watching. Hence, we wanted to combine these two ideas for people alike. Regarding the regions: We intentionally include the full list for North America/Europe rather than small eco-zones. We want your collection to grow with you when you travel or go on holiday, rather than restricting you to just the birds in your vicinity. This way, we hoped that people would seek to travel more for seeing different bird species. The subscription ($1.66/month) covers the cost of our server costs and keeps the game ad-free. We offer the 7-day free trial specifically so you can see if this 'Game' format is right for you before paying. Best, Kazan Software
Not enough functions for the Price
Response from developer
Hi there! Thanks for the constructive feedback. Good news: We just released a Manual Entry feature that acts as a search bar! You can now look up and unlock specific birds by name. Regarding the learning features: We love your idea about adding Wikipedia links or facts, but we want to make sure we implement it in a way that fits the game. Would you be open to sending us a quick email at [support@kazansoftware.com]? We’d love to discuss your ideas further and hear exactly what kind of info you'd like to see on the cards!
