User reviews

Fantastic but needs one more thing

Love this app and will continue to use it all the time, but would love to have a Life list section please take my advice on board thank you

Response from developer

Thanks for using BirdTrack, and great to hear you enjoy using the app. If you go to the Stats tab, you can already set this to show your life data and view your Life List - just tap to change the time period (shown along the top, with the calendar icon) and pick "Life (all time)". All the charts will update, and you can tap on the Life List count towards the top to view the list of all species you've recorded.

Great App

This is a really simple app to use. Very intuitive and very reliable. Ignore the negative reviews - most are years ago. I use this almost daily without any problem. Sometimes you have to create a new location name but it always identifies your location by grid reference, which is really the most useful location information for BTO. You do need to register with BTO and I think this is best done via the web site at home.

Really good app

Love the simple layout so it's easy to use. Perfect!

Brilliant design

This is a fantastic platform to keep a track of your bird sightings and develop a comprehensive year list. Not to mention the added contribution towards ornithological research.

The new feature from the latest update of displaying on the map where about you saw each individual species is a nice addition.

Only thing I would like to see is perhaps a push notification ‘option’ for those rare/scarce birds that are recorded within a defined radius of your choosing. This could be real time, or perhaps a daily round-up.

Would love support for monarch butterflies

Good app for collecting bird data. Would love to see more species added for citizen science assistance
