User reviews

Incredible and fascinating detail…

I’m not a birder but I love filming nature and wildlife and usually if I’m able to ID a bird my next thing is to have all kinds of questions about when they breed, how many times a year, who feeds the young, where they migrate from, if they form a longer lasting bond, how long the fledglings hang around and that is usually beyond the scope of your average birding app, but those plus a gazillion other questions are answered in this wonderful app. I love it!!

Execellent

Amazing to get all nine volumes in one app. Features like breeding and moult is excellent plus having videos and photos are great. Very good you get the location with which helps when understanding the taxonomic changes. Some of the identification is dated but it was published (the first volume) many decades ago and knowledge has changed massively. With getting the Collins guide to work as a pair

Bonne application, perfectible

Dommage que l’anglais soit la seule langue de cette application, trop peu souvent mise à jour. Bons points pour la taxonomie !

Abandoned App?

Bug reported over 5 months ago and allegedly fixed and awaiting release. Since then no reply to e-mails, no fix, nothing.

Other apps claim supported by BWP (eg Life List) but they aren't, presumably needing an update that never happens.

Suspect abandoned. Shame as it has lots of great info and potential.

Amazing value

Amazing value for any serious birder. Though out of print used volumes are still popular, but the weight and the shelf space!
