Nothing but noisy miners.

Apparently the only bird in my area is a noisy miner. It’s a running joke now in our family when I record a bird. Magpies are now miners, cockatoos are miners. So disappointed in this app. Do better.

Worst app ever

Always makes my storage line move from 67 to 70 my message to anyone don’t download it,

Birdly is totally great

I would recommend getting the full version - it’s really good value and you get all the features. Just a reminder. playing bird songs to attract birds is not recommended as it can disrupt natural behaviours.

Best bird id

The subscriptions are incredibly cheap 4$ a month for the entire package and 3$ a year for smaller features

What are you all lying for?

You can’t actually do any of the advertised things like automatic photo identification, sound identification etc without PAYING a subscription.
To use the app you have to pay. Either use ai yourself or stick to the books because people are too greedy to make something mediocre free.

Sound is inaccurate

the bird sounds recorder is hopeless! keeps saying that it’s a minor, when I’m staring at the bird and can see it’s a crimson Rosella - using it on the edge of the Wimmera in Victoria surrounded by magpies corellas parrots

Birdly

This is a great app that I live to use when I’m stuck

Brand new update

Loving the update! It’s more a “brand new app” than an “update”.
Great job on the filters, the comparisons, and the single bird view enhancements!

Sync?

I can't get the app to sync between my iphone and ipad. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Also, Trackside Tony, last April, asked that when entering photos, the app could return us to the last photo used instead of back to the beginning of the photos. This would be so helpful. I'm surprised you haven't taken this on board.
Otherwise, I'm enjoying this app. It has a few glitches, but you seem to be ironing them out. Thanks!

The future

The ID feature from sound or image is pretty amazing.

Birdly

I really love this app because it has so many ways of finding out how to find a specific bird

Refund

I am not that tech savvy so find this app very hard to navigate and use by the time I have figured it out the bird is gone and as far as saving information until I have service well it doesn’t happen. Can I please have a refund. I am sure if I was smart enough this app would be very good.

Modern app for birdwatching in Australia

This is a great app for birdwatchers of all types. The illustrations and annotations are detailed well. The drill-down approach is useful for browsing similar species. Opportunities for improvement include providing links to information contained in HANZAB, being able to organise the view by the likely species in your current location, and general usability. The app will be useful in conjunction with others including PK Birds and AusBirds (both of which are older style apps more reminiscent of their field guides), and Merlin and eBird. Overall, a good addition to the birding app landscape.

Finally

Finally an Australian Bird App

Accuracy is wonderful
Well worth the annual subscription

Go to app for Birding in OZ

My go to app for birding in OZ, comprehensive and easy to navigate

Exciting bird ID experience

Unique bird ID app with some huge potential. I especially like the 3D view and augmented reality features as this is a great way for users to get a better understanding of the birds size and physical attributes. I’ve found it to be a little glitchy at times, but no doubt these issues will be addressed over time.

Free trial but with all the features

Downloaded app as it offered 7 day Free Trial, but cannot test all the features like Bird Sound library which is locked. So unable to fully assess this app before paying for it. If it’s time limited trial then why is it still locked.

Review for twitchers

The works quickly, features are eayy to use, and a strike rate with recordings

Helping our family

My son has ahead been interested in birds. This app not only helps us identify the birds, but provides educational information about them as well. We look forward to delving into it more.

Accessing Pictures

Clearly my earlier comment has not been taken up unfortunately. If not that suggestion I will try this one. It would be really really helpful if after identifying a bird from your photos app on an iPhone, and you wanted to id another, it would be helpful if it went back to the last location. I have my birds in an album so it would be great if it went back to the album and better still to the last viewed.
Thanks in anticipation.
