### 1/5 — Ruined

*2026-01-06, version 1.5.10*

This used to be my go to app for bird indentation. It was simple yet effective and whilst the available information varied from excellent to minimal, it worked for me. 

Yet now I have found that the app is unusable since the advert banner has appeared at the bottom. The app is now plagued with glitches and whilst I accept the developer needs to fund the app, why would anyone pay for this given its obvious lack of any development? Even the ‘contact developer’ link is not mobile friendly, which is comical given it’s from a mobile app! 

Even if you try to work through the glitches the search features are now completely useless with the ‘search by type’ selection none functional. 

Very disappointing

### 1/5 — Don’t pay to remove adds

*2024-09-24, version 1.5.10*

I  downloaded this app and then paid, in app, to have adds removed.
Although I iPhone account confirms that. Y money has been deducted, I still receive adds

### 5/5 — VERY GOOD🪿🦆🐦‍⬛🦅🦉

### 1/5 — Birds

*2023-10-11, version 1.5.10*

This was a good bird app 
Why have you changed it?
You have ruined it

### 5/5 — A very useful app.

*2023-04-10, version 1.5.10*

A very easy app for identifying birds from the United Kingdom and having access to Wikipedia for a more detailed search is beneficial to twitchers and the bird spotting public.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-10-16, version 1.5.10*

What the hell has happened to this app. Don’t bother. It used to be really good now looks like and is a POS!

### 1/5 — Karen

*2022-07-05, version 1.5.10*

Too many birds missing. Not even a Hawfinch entered. This app needs an updated version

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2022-04-20, version 1.5.10*

Paid .89p , it’s wasn’t worth it

### 1/5 — Lacks detail

*2021-06-16, version 1.5.7*

The barest of info.

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2021-05-06, version 1.5.7*

Clear information and diagrams and very good call and song recordings.
