### 1/5 — A waste of money

*2017-12-27*

Only has the most common birds. The title in the App Store didn’t reflect this limited usefulness. Photos aren’t captioned. Don’t waste your money. Zero stars.

**Developer response:** If you had read the title and description of the app, you would not have written such a negative and inappropriate review. The app title/subtitle points out that it shows the most common birds and the description even lists all species included. The name of the birds are above all photos, no need for explicit captions. If you feel this was a waste of waste, just ask for a refund from Apple, which is possible within a certain time frame. But it requires to READ some terms and instructions...

### 1/5 — Birds of Florida

*2016-01-20*

This book is not worth buying. It has no shore birds and the other birds are so common you don't need a book to identify them.

**Developer response:** It is not a book. The app name and description clearly states what to expect and which birds are included. If you find it not worth buying, then don't buy it. Moreover, it is NOT true that there are no shore birds included, they are in the description list and in the app.
