A great 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.

Thanks
Yo are nearly almost always write
Spot on every time!
One of my favourite apps. No annoying as or extra subscriptions. Quick and straightforward to use and educational!
Sad decline
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.

Response from developer
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.
Black Bird
Accurate ID first time!
Just love this app.
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 !!!
A great app
This app is well worth paying for. It records accurately and on testing with recordings of known birds it was right every time.
No way to test it
Installed this intending to test how well it works. Happy to pay for it if it seems useful but it was unable to identify a blackbird and i was unable to access recordings without upgrading to pro.
Love this app!
Am slowly learning the songs of my local birds :)
Works well
Had issues when developers changed to the much maligned subscription model, but reinstall fixed it.
Lovely to know what I’m listening to
Love this app, so simple to use. I live next to a little woods and the birdsong is deafening at times, in a lovely way of course :) and it’s so nice to be able to identify the bird and just close my eyes with a cup of coffee in my hand and focus in on that.
Moved to a subscription model - avoid.
This was a great app I purchased and recommended to others but now it’s £19.99 a year with a discount for the first year. I might delete it.
Random
Just makes up random birds. Do not download this app just get Merlin bird ID instead it’s much better.
Not user friendly at all
Firstly, this app is a fail from the very first page after opening it for first time. It prevents you from even registering on it or using the app, if you do not allow location. That is rodiculous. An ID app should not need that info to provide a result. Users should be able to select a location if they so wish but this app is onviously cheating. To prevent use without sharing your location is just poor. I deleted and ised a paid for app which does not for e these practises. This app also only allows id from kive audio! Poor, very poor.
