### 1/5 — No instructions on how to use

*2019-05-15*

It asks for your camera access once. I hit “no” and then couldn’t change it to “yes” because there is no menu bar or any text to be found within the app.  Glad I only wasted 2.99 but still not happy.

### 1/5 — Doo doo

*2019-03-10*

I feel like they’re “robin” my money. This is no “yolk”. I “shelled” out $2.99 for this bird-brained app. This app “goosed” me. I thought this app was going to be the “nest” best thing but I guess not. If you are thinking about buying this app “duck”,  it is kaka.

### 1/5 — Totally useless

*2019-03-08*

It identifies snaps of birds as objects that are not birds. Actually doesn’t identify anything. I “snapped” arose from close up (you can’t zoom) and the app identified it as a handkerchief! No joke.

### 1/5 — BirdSnap

*2022-01-01, version 2.5*

Don’t waste your money on this app.

### 1/5 — Worthless App

*2021-10-31*

Don’t waste you time and money on this app. Doesn’t function the way it was designed to work and very rarely can actually identify a bird. Terrible app

### 1/5 — Scam

*2021-08-06*

This app is awful.  When I snap a picture of a bird right outside my window, all I get is a message saying “window shade”.  There are no shades on the window. Contrary to published features, I can’t even take a normal picture of the bird and use it with this plant snap app. I will continue to try using it. If I don’t get a refund on this, I will also keep printing a negative review.

### 1/5 — App won't load

*2020-05-17*

I can't get the app to load after several attempts!

### 1/5 — Horrible App!!

*2020-05-08*

Definitely get what you pay for!! Everything is a shower curtain or table!! Dont purchase this app!  Horrible!!!

### 1/5 — Waste

*2020-04-18*

First there is no way to zoom in. No matter what bird I took a picture of it was identified as paper towel, bow tie, shower curtain etc. so I took picture of coffee cup and it identified it as hair clip.  Total waste of money.

### 1/5 — Michael

*2020-03-20, version 2.5*

Completely useless. I tried it with several common birds but it could not identify even one. I feel cheated.

### 1/5 — Bird snap

*2019-07-21*

Just wasted 2.99, identifying it is everything but a bird, said it was a snake, 3 times said it was a paper towel. Wish I could get my money back.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2019-06-29, version 2.5*

When I take a photo of a bird it comes up with things like shower curtain or brassiere. Absolutely rubbish

### 1/5 — Worst app of it’s kind!

*2019-06-07, version 2.5*

It identified one bird as a “hammerhead” (it was a flicker); and identified several others as “can opener”. 😏

### 3/5 — Hopefully will get better

*2019-02-10*

The concept is good but I could not find a way to access photos that I have already taken.  I tend to take a lot of pictures to study later or take pictures with another device and send them to my phone so this feature would be nice.
