### 5/5 — This is epic!

*2026-08-07, version 4.2.3*

Wallace and Gromit would be proud to have this on their list of ‘matic’ inventions.

### 4/5 — Great fun app

Great fun app

### 2/5 — Won’t play my recording

*2026-06-17, version 4.2.1*

I’ve learnt so much about bird sing. Just love it

### 5/5 — A great way to connect with nature wherever you are.

*2025-11-02*

A delightful way to connect with nature wherever you are.
Whether I’m sitting in the park or simply walking through town, this app makes it easy to identify birds by their songs. If I hear a bird I don’t recognize — or can’t see — I just open the app and let it listen. The recognition is impressively accurate, and even when it offers a few possibilities, it becomes a fun little investigation. It leaves room for curiosity while still giving very clear leads. Perfect both for learning more about birds and for simply enjoying the moment and the satisfaction of discovery.

### 2/5 — Thanks

*2025-08-24, version 4.1.3*

Yo are nearly almost always write

### 5/5 — Spot on every time!

*2025-07-03, version 4.0.9*

One of my favourite apps. No annoying as or extra subscriptions. Quick and straightforward to use and educational!

### 1/5 — Sad decline

*2025-06-26*

This used to be one of the best bird apps and is now one of the worst. Unreliable and slow; and all my previous data history was lost when I upgraded the app’s software some years ago - when I contacted the helpline, I was surprised to speak to an actual human being rather than having a response from an automated assistant but sadly that person admitted that there had been “some issues”  when updating the software and that others had faced the same problem - but no apology and no way to retrieve the data. Even now (post update) the app is glitchy. Great shame.

**Developer response:** We haven’t made any changes that should affect a long-time user’s data or reliability, so we're both surprised and very sorry to hear your history has gone missing.

Have you have a chance to contact us? If you've lost your data, we want to look into it and help if we can. One possible explanation might be if the app was deleted and reinstalled, as this would remove local data. Or maybe the data is still there and you can't access it. In any case – please do get in touch so we can try to help.

Updated reply: I'm sorry but I can't find a message that matches what you’ve described.

### 5/5 — Black Bird

*2025-06-06, version 4.0.8*

This app could not easier to use. Im constantly grabbing my phone to identify yet another chirruping friend in the sky. I just love it !!!

### 5/5 — A great app

*2025-05-21, version 4.0.7*

This app is well worth paying for. It records accurately and on testing with recordings of known birds it was right every time.
