Testimonials from our BirdLasser Facebook page:

 “We've been to Ngwenya Lodge for the first time and decided to try atlassing with the iPhone app for the first time - what a pleasure! Thank you to the team for the hard work, it was a pleasure to use!”

“... just loaded - impressive features so far! That voice recognition you've been looking for is one of the features.... This app could convert a whole bunch of birders to atlassers.”

 “I am dying for this app....what will the cost be?” BirdLasser: “Hi John, no cost - free, gratis!”
 
Rapidly capture sightings
We endeavour to make it as quick and simple as possible to log your sightings. Whether in your garden, the Kruger Park or on the open seas, we will seamlessly tag your sightings with date, time and location.
 
Share with the community
Share that special sighting with your fellow birders in real-time via email, Facebook or Twitter, or post a trip report.
 
Conservation causes
Your passion for birds and birding has the additional benefit to contribute to a greater good. BirdLasser makes it simple share your sighting details with conservation programs such as the African BirdMAP Atlas Projects. 

Atlassers can enable boundary change notifications to make it even simpler. Note, that this feature uses the GPS in the background. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

### 1/5 — Cannot find local birds

*2025-04-01, version 1.0.28*

Looked up to common species in my area and they would not show up on the list and I could not add them.

### 5/5 — Great App for the field

*2023-06-11, version 1.0.26*

I'm a amateur bird watcher. Love this App. You always carry your phone with you, with the BirdLasser App I can log my sightings any time anywhere. Been using it for 4 years now, in Australia, Namibia and South Africa.

### 4/5 — Corrections

*2021-02-01, version 1.0.23*

Wish there was a better back-out option (back button or cancel) in stead of having to retrieve and correct or delete a record

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-09-14, version 1.0.23*

#1. Unable to register. I just get a white window to click ok and nothing happens. 
#2. If you are red green colorblind you cannot read the text on registration screen. 
#3. The logon process using Facebook too giving a failed interface message. 

It is a free apo with no help and you get what you pay for.  Nothing.

### 2/5 — BirdLasser

*2020-05-26, version 1.0.23*

I am unable to produce a list of birds I have recorded to share on WhatsApp or email on my iPhone 8. It just gives a summary of total number seen for pentad. I can’t see anything on the black background when I am wearing my sunglasses.

### 5/5 — Awesome and versatile birding app

*2020-05-16, version 1.0.23*

Birdlasser is my go to app for birding. Rapid capture is the essence of any field tool. The Birdlasser search algorithm uses any short string from the English, Latin or some other names to bring up a list of matches. This gets around the problem of remembering exact spelling and hyphenation, name changes and avoids scrolling down endless dropdown lists to find your target. It’s not the only innovation but it’s a winner. This app is designed in South Africa to work with atlassing systems there but it works perfectly anywhere - I’ve used it in Mauritius, Reunion and Australia. It integrates smoothly with eBird.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2019-01-23, version 1.0.19*

This is an excellent app !! The team are very responsive to questions and suggestions. Experience is user friendly and extremely easy to use ! Would recommend to everyone- from the first time birder to the experienced twitcher !!

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2019-01-06*

Excellent app however needs more areas such as Cuba

### 3/5 — GPS Doesn’t Work

*2018-12-22, version 1.0.18*

I like the concept of this, but in spite of allowing it to access my location and specifying that I am in the United States, it still thinks I’m in South Africa.

### 1/5 — Facebook integration does not work

*2018-08-28, version 1.0.17*

I am unable to log in with Facebook. I’m giving up as I have tried too many times.
