Useless
10 sec too short to record. Bird identification highly doubtful. It’s already seized up after a day.
Processing too long
Gave up after 20 minutes while it was “processing”. Tried to identify a few time with a wait time so long (half an hour) that I gave up.
Doesn’t work in Australia
I record birds that I see and it always comes up with 3 different birds. Doesn’t even have well known birds like the Cassowary. Waste of time and money.
Response from developer
Hi Brentm - The version of the app that you were using was designed for NSW and Victoria, so didn't cover the area where the Cassowary lives. We've now expanded the app to cover the whole of Australia, so please give it another go!
Not up to scratch
I'm in FNQ atm. The app identified a brown cuckoo dove as a boobook owl. Many local birds had no suggestions.

Kids
My grandson who is five years old loves birds and this is a fantastic app for him to learn about Australian birds highly recommended
From NSW.
If this app fails to process a recording or if it spends a very long time trying to process a recording… switch your phone off for a few minutes and then turn it on again and re-open the app.
Fatally flawed
I would say this is an altogether useless app
A 10 second recording duration is of no use when trying to capture intermittent bird call
Hugely disappointed with this

Still Processing 30 minutes later
After half an hour the app is still processing the recording, caught in some sort of loop. Not sure whether it will ever stop. Disappointing.
