### 3/5 — Only for expert birders

*2022-04-27*

As a novice, I derived little value from this relatively expensive app. It is a list of Zambian birds that can be sorted by taxonomy or in alphabetic order, complete with photos and bird calls. However, the only way can identify a particular bird is by guessing at its taxonomy and then scrolling through the list one by one. Alternatively you can guess at its name and see if you are right. If you are right, then you probably didn’t need the app in the first place, and if you aren’t right, then you are none the wiser. In summary, maybe experts will find this app valuable but it isn’t much use to a novice.

### 5/5 — Amazing birding app!

### 5/5 — Birds of Zambia

*2019-10-22*

I have waited in anticipation for this app and it lives up to all my expectations and more.  There is detailed text, clear identifying photographs, area maps and sounds for all our wonderful birds.  This is a must buy for all of us birders living in Zambia and any visitors who come to our beautiful country.
